This book has 13 lessons on the fruits of the spirit. The activities are designed for multi-age groups of children so it is easy to use with a few or many children. Supplies needed are clearly noted in the margins. Each lesson has almost 2 hours of activits. You can use them all or choose the ones that fit you best. All the activities are hands-on and very applicable. Each chapter also includes a Pathway Point and an In-Focus verse. For example, Chapter 9 (gentleness) states the following Pathway Point, "God gives us gentleness to show the power of love without words." The infocus verse is Zechariah 9:9. Every activity, song, and reproducible in the chapter helps the children learn, experience and thus remember the Pathway Point. Perfect for K-5th grade children.
This travel guide was a fantastic help as a teacher for Vacation Bible School. While it was meant for an older audience for a longer period of time than I used it for, I was able to adapt it easily. Group Publishing has done a great job adding hands-on elements to their lessons that keep the children interested and involved. I had no problem adapting these lessons to a younger group of twenty-four 4-5 year olds. The lessons are laid out in a predictable format and wording for the teacher is in bold print, which is very helpful. I would love to teach this again and use the entire book with the age group it was intended for.
I'd been looking for a curriculum on the fruits of the spirit & couldn't find one anywhere. I was in the process of making my own until I came across this one. Given that it was so inexpesive, I purchased it & had a read of the 1st lesson on Google Books. We are now using it in our kids church & it is absolutely brilliant. The lesson structure is great. It's very 'hands on'. Uses really creative methods of getting the message across. Our kids (all primary school aged) are REALLY enjoying it! The layout is great & easy to follow. My teachers love it. I've already bought another three "Travel Guides" and can't wait to get started on them next. Definitely would recommend. In fact, even if you don't necessarily need it urgently, it's so cheap, that it would be great to have as an extra kids ministry resource :)
This book is great for a classroom setting. I was hoping to use it in my homeschool. However, the prep was more than I was looking for. I gave it 4 stars only for that reason. The teaching is sound and it would work great in a multi-student situation.
All the travel guide books are excellent, I have only one more to buy to have the whole set. I started out with one book just to look over and loved it, so I ordered the some of the other topics. I am a director of children's ministry and these are great.
We have used several of the Travel Guide series with our children's sunday school this year. They have all been wonderful! The Fruit of the Spirit is no different. Each week the activities are age appropriate and the lessons are scripture based. We would totally recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn about the Fruit of the Spirit more indepth.
I have thoroughly enjoyed using this book as a guide for our children's church lessons for the past few months. We do add our own music, but the lessons in the book provide plenty of material. I like being able to pick and choose which activities to use, and with so many available, I am able to do that each week. We had two songs that we sang each week: one is a silly song about the fruit of the spirit (The fruit of the spirit's not a...), and the other was one from Group Publishing that quotes the entire Scripture from Galatians 5:22-23. We haven't finished the series yet, but many of our kids have already memorized the scripture. LOVE it!!
Love the Travel Guide series. Have not actually got into this book with the Sunday School but am excited to get started. Have already studied the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments and the children have loved
