The Magi
Our Magi lessons go deeper, get more creative, and spend more time in life application than those typical "kiddie craft, star and gift" lessons.
Six creative lessons including:
◊ A King Cake Workshop
◊ A "Bible Story Selfie" Drama Workshop
◊ The Magi's Camel Games Workshop
◊ And a Video~Music Workshop that uses four free clips --including two from Disney's "Moana" that will make you go say "Oh yeah!"

Writing Team lessons are full of creative techniques, including creative ways to read the scripture and do reflection. Optimally grades 2-6, each WT lesson plan includes younger adaptations, and certain lessons are easily adapted for Middle School use.
♥ Several of the Magi Lessons are suitable for special Advent and Epiphany programming.
Everyone can read the Magi lesson summaries and Bible Background.

Here's a typical four week rotation schedule for 3 different grade groups.
| ROTATION STORY: Prodigal Son |
