Middle School Curriculum—Bible
Overview:
- The goal of this My Bible First Curriculum is to help children grades 5–8 (ages 11–14) learn to love the Bible and incorporate its principles into their lives.
- The curriculum is designed to be completed in three school years. Each year is divided into 156 lessons contained in eight student reader booklets:
- Year 1 (booklets 1–8): Creation through the captivity of Israel and Judah
- Year 2 (booklets 9–16): Daniel through part of Jesus’ life
- Year 3 (booklets 17–24): The rest of Jesus’ life, Acts, church history, and the second coming
- For each year, there are also eight matching student workbooks and eight matching teaching helps booklets. There is also an answer key booklet.
About the Bible lesson booklets:
- Each Bible lesson reading booklet contains a table of contents, a list of memory verses, and the Bible lessons and matching object lessons.
- The lessons are further subdivided into groups of three: Every pair of two Bible lessons is followed by an object lesson that reinforces the Bible lesson. A memory verse goes with each set of three lessons, as well. So in each school year, the child will learn 52 memory verses.
- The lessons are designed to be easy to teach. Let the children read verses and answer questions from their own Bibles.
About the student workbooks:
- Two review worksheets are provided for each pair of Bible lessons. Assign one or both according to your preference. Questions from these worksheets could also be used as an oral quiz.
About the teaching helps:
- The teaching helps contains contains thought and discussion questions about each of the Bible lessons in the student readers. Please use selected questions to guide your class or family discussion.
- Consider occasionally assigning one or two of the questions as an essay topic.
