Sunday School Idea & Lesson Exchange!

We are an online community of Sunday School teachers and church staff sharing free and premium Sunday School lesson plans and ideas. We are also the official website of the Workshop Rotation Model (WoRM), a creative way to organize and teach Sunday School. Volunteer-led, independent, and non-profit, we are funded entirely by our Supporting Members . You are welcome to borrow from our thousands of free Bible lessons, ideas, and articles, and post your own. Supporting Members get full access to extra creative "Writing Team" lesson sets. Learn more about us and the Rotation Model.

Rotation.org is a collection of free Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources contributed by our members. We also have a "Writing Team" that creates extra-creative lesson plans for our Supporting Members.

You are welcome to glean to your heart's content and contribute your own great ideas. Please keep in mind that we're striving for something more creative than coloring pages and cute crafts. Our age range is primarily elementary age children, but we do have content for younger kids, and many of our lessons and ideas can be used with older students. Our Writing Team Lesson Sets have age adaptations for every lesson.

Registering for free gets you additional access to certain content and features, as well as, permission to post. Becoming a Supporting Member gets you access to our Writing Team Lesson Sets and numerous site features.

How Our Content is Organized:
Our Lesson Topics are organized by Bible story, then by teaching medium (video, art, cooking, drama, etc. --what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt Workshop Rotation lessons.

Some stories don't have much content available (yet). This is due in part to the Rotation Model philosophy of focusing on "major" Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row. New content is always being posted. Your lesson ideas and requests for lesson help are welcome. Read more about the list of "major" Bible stories most Rotation churches teach.

Theologically speaking...
Rotation.org's content, membership, and editorial leadership reflects the broad theological middle. We expect every church to adapt content to their needs.
