Children learn by watching, and in this curriculum they will watch contemporary and Bible people succeeding, and sometimes failing, in their effort to do right. Teacher's guides which go beyond 'here's how.' Each guide on each level has been carefully planned to equip the teacher to creatively teach the unit. Spiritual challenges, unit overview, visual reinforcements, extra ideas, tips on opening and closing lessons, and special project suggestions are included in each custom-designed guide. The amount of time set aside, however, will depend on your schedule and goals. Some teachers reserve a small amount of daily time, while others plan a longer period once or twice a week.
