Topher Time Plus Videos and Material

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.

*** 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
• Bible story (interactive storytelling)

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:

• Same big journey, different pace.
  Both preschool and elementary follow the same big story of the Bible, in the same order, all year long. But preschoolers move more slowly and repeat key ideas so they can really absorb them.
• Preschoolers need more repetition.
  Little ones learn best when they hear the same Big Idea and memory verse for several weeks. If we forced them to match elementary pacing, they’d move too quickly to fully understand the concepts.
• Elementary kids need more depth.
  Older kids are ready for more complex storytelling and faster movement through Scripture. If they had to match preschool pacing, they’d feel held back.
• Families can still talk about church together.
  Even though they aren’t studying the same story each week, they are traveling the same path through Scripture. Parents can easily help everyone connect what they’re learning.

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.
