Welcome to Rotation.org's Sunday School Ideas & Lessons!

We are an online community of Sunday School teachers and church staff sharing free and premium Sunday School lesson plans, creative ideas, and discussion. We are also the official website of the Workshop Rotation Model (WoRM), a creative way to organize and teach Sunday School. Volunteer-led, ecumenical, 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, as well as take part in our COVID resource discussions and recommendations for churches. Supporting Members also get full access to extra creative "Writing Team" lesson sets, 18 Bible story and game software programs, and engaging lessons for at-home use. Learn more about us and the Rotation Model.

Music

The Prodigal Son software. Has a great song ("Native Son" by Lindsley) seen in a music video in the SON TV portion of the program. This music video’s lyrics retell the story with a catchy tune. Lyrics and chords are found in the Teacher's Guide.
Update: Neil has donated several of his Sunday Software programs to be downloaded free-of-charge by our supporting members. They include "The Prodigal Son" software. Learn more and get the software.

The Donut Man - Song "We're Going Have A Party" upbeat to Mariachi music great for younger children. YouTube (here I could see teaching the kids the movements to the song as seen in the music video.) Donut Man - Song is found on his "Life Saver" CD and in the "Sing-A-Long Songbook 3".
