What Is It?
You’re a pre-schooler, and the world is bursting with newness. Each day is filled with one new discovery after another. Where did that bird come from? Look, the moon is shaped funny tonight! Who thought to color the butterfly like that?
First Look is a web-based curriculum that uses engaging activities to introduce pre-school children (birth through Kindergarten) to God. First Look gives children a first impression of their heavenly Father and the wonder of His love for each one of them.
First Look concentrates on three basic truths that God Made Me, God Loves Me, and that Jesus Wants To Be My Friend Forever. These, as well as the other truths that are being taught, will help in shaping and laying the foundation of Christ in preschoolers lives.
The Curriculum is set-up into three different sections:
MAKE IT FUN
Little ones are made to feel welcome by their leaders and friends and pulled into the teaching environment with a fun opening activity. This activity introduces the "Bottom Line" for the morning's lesson which is the same "Bottom Line" for the whole month.
MAKE IT TRUE
After the fun opening activity, the kids are taken to a Large Group environment at the Treehouse Stage where they are taught God's Word in an exciting, relevant way that they can understand. God's Word IS EXCITING! After the Bible Story, the kids learn to worship their Heavenly Father. Each month the kids and their leaders learn new songs, hand motions, and sometimes "dance moves" that teach them how to express themselves in worship to their AWESOME GOD! The music is also designed to help reinforce the "Bottom Line" for the month.
MAKE IT STICK
After Large Group, kids come back to their small group environment where they engage in creative, fun games, crafts and snacks with their friends that reinforce the "Bottom Line" for the month.
