In addition to these publicly available Elijah, Ravens, and the Widow lessons and ideas, you'll also want to check out The Elijah and Elisha Super Set of lessons. It teaches three major Elijah & Elisha stories in one super series -including the Widow's story. Written by our Writing Team for Supporting Members with an extra level of detail and creativity. Set lesson summaries and Bible background are open to all. The following Sunday School lessons and ideas are organized by teaching medium: arts and crafts, video, drama, puppets, software, cooking (foods), games, music, and more. Glean what you need, share what you can.

In this topic we're collecting "other" Elijah ideas and resources that don't fit into our workshop categories (video, art, etc.) or apply to many of the different types of workshops.

Free Bible illustrations by Richard Gunther contributed to freeBibleimages.org and licensed for non-commercial teaching use. Good for teaching with non-readers and for using as "charade" or Pictionary clues, and for story-ordering games.

Here are some MP3 sounds to go with Elijah fed by Ravens. They originated from some VBS material from years back that had users download them for free from online for use with story telling, puppets, etc.

What makes Rotation.org different from other "free" lesson websites?

No advertising. No ads. No clickbait.
No product placements masquerading as articles.
Non-profit, community-owned, volunteer-led.
Theologically mainstream.
Emphasis on creativity, not "quickie crafts."
Emphasis on many lesson choices, rather than a single lesson.
Emphasis on lessons that work for older kids, not just younger.
UNIQUE and practical resources nobody else is offering, (like our Bible Video Guides)
Reviews of new teaching resources, tech & media.
Desire to explore new teaching techniques.
We are a support community available to answer your questions and help you find resources.
We are inspired by the Rotation Model for Sunday School, and open to all.
And we have a professionally-led, peer-reviewed "Writing Team" that generates extra creative lesson sets for our Supporting Members.

Founded in 1997, we are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, creatively inclined, and member-supported.

How Our Content is Organized
Our lesson forums are organized by Bible story and then by teaching medium (video, art, cooking, drama, etc. -- what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Because the Rotation Modelers who manage this site teach major Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, some minor story forums may have less content. Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" style lessons.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition. Adapt content as needed.
