GO! is a chronological children’s ministry curriculum (for preschool and elementary) that immerses kids in biblical storytelling and helps them see how individual stories fit into the big story of God.
Each GO! unit is part of a 12-month scope and sequence that takes kids on a chronological journey through the Bible. The scope and sequence is designed to follow the Christian calendar so that the Christmas lessons land on Christmas and the Easter lessons land on Easter. The “Recommended Use Dates” indicate where the unit falls within the one-year curriculum calendar. You are able to use the unit at any time of the year that works best for you, but by following the “Recommended Use Dates,” you can easily transition into using the other GO! units to tell the remainder of the Big Bible Story. Click here to view the curriculum calendar.
*** There will be glimpses of God’s salvation plan throughout the year, but there will be four lessons where that plan is communicated clearly and kids will have an opportunity to respond. Those lessons are denoted with *** next to the lesson title.
• It’s chronological, meaning the lessons take kids through the Bible in order, but uses different stories each year throughout our 3 year scope and sequence.
• Each 4‑5 week block uses a different storytelling method (themes, props, games) to keep things fresh and engaging.
• It’s designed to be interactive, fun, and transformational — kids participate in telling the story, not just passively receiving it.
• There are built-in volunteer training, parent resources, and media tools to support implementation.
Each lesson includes:
• Leader preparation / training content
• Setup instructions and supply list
• Customizable large and small group lessons
• Introduction / community builder

No problem!! GO! is built to support volunteers: training content, video options, and customizable lessons help reduce the burden. Our curriculum provides clear, comprehensive scripts that guide leaders step-by-step, so they know exactly what to say and do when leading small group activities or teaching large group Bible lessons. The teaching videos can further fill in gaps with video-led segments.
Great question! Preschoolers and elementary kids both learn best when teaching is designed specifically for their age, attention span, and developmental stage. That’s why GO! uses the same overall scope and sequence for both age groups, but does not match the weekly lessons exactly.
Here’s what that means:
Bottom line:
Preschool and elementary follow the same big Bible storyline, but at the pace and depth that helps each age group thrive. This gives every child the best chance to understand, remember, and grow in their faith.
Absolutely! You can view the full scope and sequence of the year, detailing each Bible story, Big Idea, and memory verse for both Preschool and Elementary, on our “Scope & Sequence” page. Click here.
The team at GO! Curriculum has designed a 3-day at-home/virtual VBS that is custom made for churches and families during the COVID19 shutdown. We have thought through every aspect of the VBS experience and made it so user friendly that any family can easily do it at home.
With minimal preparation, easy to follow instructions, and a video that leads kids step-by-step through each day, BOLT VBS is the perfect quarantine-friendly solution for your church or family.
It’s so simple!
Instead of bringing kids to your VBS, bring VBS to your kids!
What is BOLT all about? What this highlight video:
Single Family License. . . $25
Church License. . . $185
Beyond the license, there are no additional costs necessary for a church. BOLT is designed to be easy on the budget. We have purposefully chosen games and crafts that utilize materials most families already have or can easily and inexpensively obtain.
This makes BOLT an incredibly budget-friendly VBS option.
Watch the full Day-2 sample video below to see how it all works.
BOLT is more than just a video…
During BOLT, the video will prompt kids to play fun games that illustrate what it means to listen to, focus on, and follow Jesus. Each game has been chosen using the following criteria:
In addition to games, each video also illustrates how to do an origami craft. There’s a comic sports-casting duo who provides humorous play-by-play as the kids make the origami craft along with origami super-star, “Hans Handerson.”
Each day of BOLT has beautifully illustrated Bible stories and powerful, Christ-centered teaching built into the lesson. Periodically, families will be asked to pause the video and read from the Bible or discuss a question. This makes it so easy for parents to lead their kids towards a heart-changing encounter with Jesus.
Here’s a breakdown of what families will be learning:
Day 1: Parable of the Sower and the Seed (Luke 8:4-15)
Day 2: Jesus Walks on Water (Matthew 14:22-36)
Day 3: Jesus Chooses His Disciples (Luke 5:1-11, 27-32)
BOLT VBS features music by Ben Calhoun of the chart-topping Christian band–Citizen Way. Their hit song “Bulletproof” has almost 13 million plays on YouTube alone. It’s as if Ben himself will be leading your kids in worship. If you would like to listen to the 3 featured songs (plus many more), you can stream them through this Spotify playlist.
BOLT VBS has partnered with “Sweet Sleep” to provide an optional missions component that is designed for families to experience at home.
“Sweet Sleep” exists to demonstrate God’s love and hope in Christ to the world’s orphaned and abandoned children, improving their quality of life. Together, our families can provide beds, mosquito nets, and Bibles for the children of war-torn Uganda.
What age range is BOLT VBS designed for?
BOLT is designed for kids ages 5 through 85. It’s something fun for everyone!
Can BOLT be adapted for use as a live “virtual VBS” online experience?
Absolutely. With the purchase of a church license, we provide all of the videos and materials as well as the permission you’ll need to create a live online experience. If you want each video broken into their individual segments, we provide that too. We even give you the video scripts in case you want to reproduce some of the video segments with your own teachers.
How do you recommend using BOLT VBS?
For churches looking to use BOLT with their families, you can use it any way you imagine, but we suggest that you schedule the VBS just like you normally would. With our curriculum, every home can be a virtual VBS. Encourage all of your families to experience BOLT on the same 3 day schedule. You could even do a Zoom party at the end of each day so that everyone can share their experiences together as a church.
How many people do you need for BOLT VBS to work?
BOLT works whether you have 2 people or 2,000. If your area is still under quarantine, a single family can perform BOLT by themselves with as few as one parent and one child. If parents feel comfortable gathering with more people, they can invite as many neighbors, friends, and family as they would like.
Because of this, BOLT is the perfect outreach event! You can even encourage leaders who do not have children of their own to host BOLT virtual VBS in their own neighborhood. Think of it as the ultimate backyard VBS event to help Christian families share the Gospel in a fun way at home.
