Come on—admit it! At some point in your life, most of you have probably tried to sneak a peek at one of your wrapped presents. Especially as a kid, those presents sat there under the tree like a black hole of temptation, sucking you in until you couldn’t resist. You checked that the coast was clear, picked up your gift and shook it to see what was inside. Most of the time this is done in secret, but not during the “Shake It Up” series. During this series, kids will be encouraged to shake different presents and figure out what’s inside. The contents, when revealed, will help kids discover the story of the most incredible Christmas gift ever given, a gift that shook the world—the gift of Jesus.

*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.

*** 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.
