offers the same form of high energy, high impact
lessons that use drama, puppets, sound effects, object lessons and
traditional teaching as offered in Jericho Junction Children’s Church
Production. The difference is you begin in a large group setting for the
main Bible lesson through puppet and drama skits. The children are then
divided into small groups for the completion of their activity sheets.
This part helps with the reinforcement of their Bible lesson they have
just participated in. The small groups are lead by a teacher (small group
leader) who assists the children in having a clear understanding of the
information from the Bible lesson, as well as, understanding the practical
applications presented throughout the Bible lesson. The small groups have
the desired effect of relationship building and mentoring with the
teacher-students.

Yes!
curriculum can be used in any size children’s
church, Sunday School or mid-week group. Whether your children’s church
is 15 children or 150 children, KIDZ ZONE curriculum will work great for
you! The key to success is making sure you have a suggested ratio of 1
small group leader to ever 8 to 10

No.
Some churches use staging for the
drama/puppet scenes. It is not necessary to use any staging for the drama,
but it is suggested that you have some type of puppet curtain or staging
for the puppet scenes. KIDZ ZONE is very flexible as it relates to
staging. There are no rights or wrongs when it comes to providing staging
for KIDZ ZONE. The children love the program whether you have an elaborate
stage or not.

curriculum is
thematic. Each week a new theme or topic is presented, supported by the
Bible verse of the week. There are numerous segments (or ZONES) to the
curriculum that brings variety and a dynamic multi-media dimension to add
excitement to the Bible lesson. The different segments include: Bible
Verse of the Week (Bible Verse Zone); Bible Book of the Week (Bible Book
Zone); Puppet Zone; Drama Zone; Famous Bible Character Zone; Bible Trivia
Zone; Infamous Bible Character Zone; Teaching Zone; Craft Zone; Activity
Zone; Singing Zone; Award Zone; and Game Zone. Within
the weekly curriculum there is drama, action, puppets, teaching, object
lessons, activity sheets, crafts, active games and actual participation of
the children in the program. These children see, hear and participation in
the learning adventure. We know statistically that an interactive style of
learning is the very best method for keeping the learned information in
the children’s mind (information retention). This type of
teaching/learning is incredibly successful for reaching unsaved children
for Christ and helping Christian children grow in the spiritual
relationship with Christ.
