It’s the distant future, the year 5,000, and a long lost stinky sneaker has been discovered. It’s the mythical shoe of Sir Willy Wonky, and legend has it that one sniff of this foul footwear makes everything you eat taste like chocolate. During the “Space Ninjas vs. Pirate Squirrels” series, small groups will be divided into two teams and will battle for the putrid penny loafer. All the while kids will discover stories of God’s faithfulness and power through the exile of His people into a foreign and hostile land.
Large group and small group lessons, ready to teach or customize.
Countdown videos, media slides and Bible story illustrations.
Leader devotionals plus small and large group training.
Parent resources so the conversation keeps going at home.

Every GO! unit — including this one — is part of the 12-month Elementary subscription. Get a full year of lessons for less than buying units one at a time.
GO! is a chronological children’s ministry curriculum for preschool and elementary. Kids join the storytelling and see how each Bible story fits into God’s big story. Four lessons a year (marked *** in the lesson list) give kids a clear chance to respond to the gospel.
GO! takes kids through the Bible in order, with different stories each year over a 3-year cycle. Each 4 – 5 week unit uses a new storytelling style (themes, props, games), and volunteer training, parent resources and media are built in.
Leader prep, a supply list, customizable large and small group lessons, an interactive Bible story, application activities, Reflect & Respond time, small group discussion and Bible memory, a GO! Home Guide for parents, plus graphics, illustrations and tech instructions.
Littles is for babies, toddlers and 2-year-olds. Preschool serves ages 3 – 5. Elementary serves Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Yes! You can buy just one or a few units and use them however you like.
Yes. “Big Bible Story” reviews help everyone catch up with the overall sequence.
Yes. The scope and sequence follows the Christian calendar, so holiday lessons land on the holidays.
No. Each lesson’s supply list uses affordable, easy-to-find materials.
Everything is digital. Lessons are Word files, and media files are JPGs, PDFs, MP3s and MP4s.
No problem! Step-by-step scripts show leaders exactly what to say and do, and the teaching videos can lead parts of the lesson.
Each age group learns best with lessons built for its age and attention span. Both follow the same overall scope and sequence, but the weekly lessons don’t match exactly. To read more, see this blog post.
