Description
Old Testament Overview for Middle School
Teaching the Old Testament Overview to children is a big job and can feel overwhelming. Do I have the knowledge? Do I have a plan? Will the kids like it? If you have asked these questions, you are not alone! We believe every child can learn the Bible at their level, and we provide teachers an effective framework and method to teach them.
Let me share how it works! You will stick figure the Old Testament timeline, introducing your children to the major characters and event. With each following lesson, you will take your students on a journey into each of these stories. Periodic reviews ensure your students retain the information. Trust me, you will be amazed at what they retain!
By the end of this study, your students will be able to draw the Old Testament timeline independently, and recite 38 memory verses and tell you facts about each character or event.
