This is even more so for kids who are not\u00a0from a Christian background. Center on a chronological presentation of God\u2019s Word.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We teach for response and application.<\/strong> It needs to be a living story for today\u2019s children, interactive and relevant to their lives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holy-spirit dependent.<\/strong> Remember the Holy Spirit is the Person who changes lives and impacts hearts. We can\u2019t use curriculum to pressure or push children to make decisions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Culturally relevant.<\/strong> Even when writing for children within one country, remember that children may be from non-Christian homes, be at risk and dealing daily with great tragedies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financially and physically practical.<\/strong> Most effective curriculum is not dependent on space, personnel or resources. Remember that your Bible content centers around the Bible story. Create a Bible toolbox to augment the basic story according to the group size and resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In summary, you can make your curriculum easily affordable and widely used among a variety of children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you write a children\u2019s curriculum?<br \/>\n<\/strong>One lesson at a time. Every lesson has five parts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>One Bible truth and one way<\/strong> for a child to respond to each lesson<\/li>\n<li><strong>An intro<\/strong> to pull children into the lesson, whether drama, questions, role play or\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bible content<\/strong> based on careful study of Scripture<\/li>\n<li><strong>Summary\/application <\/strong>that takes the Bible content and applies it to where the child is today<\/li>\n<li><strong>The response activity<\/strong>\u2014what the child can take away and apply immediately to their lives<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>This video was shot by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamdavid.com.sg\" target=\"_blank\">Team David Films <\/a>at MAI&#8217;s international publishing conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/es\/page.asp\/?p=12&amp;i=12\">LittWorld 2015<\/a>, in Singapore.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeanette Windle is an award-winning novelist, author of 16 fiction titles, missions journalist, editor and collaborative writer.
