Lent Three Teacher's Guide
Looking for more detailed instructions on leading your students through the Lent Three Zine in a classroom setting? We have you covered! This 8.5″ x 12″ spiral-bound the Lent Three Teacher’s Guide contains detailed teaching scripts, lesson planning pages, and student notes pages to track your students’ progress. In this 6-week adventure through the Gospels, StoryMakers will journey through Jesus’ parables, including the Good Samaritan, and discover that Jesus really was the ultimate StoryMaker!
Each Lent Three Teacher’s Guide also includes the following digital teaching tools:
- Teaching Slides - digital download
- Digital Posters - digital download
How is a Zine Guide different from a Teacher’s Guide? Think of the Zine Guide as a snapshot and the Teacher’s Guide as a script. The Teacher’s Guide goes deeper with more scripted prompts for teaching the stories, detailed lesson plans, cues for when to use the digital teaching slides, and space for instructors to do additional lesson planning. While the Zine Guide is a small booklet that is easy to throw in your purse or backpack, the Teacher’s Guide is a full-size spiral-bound plan for teaching the stories in each adventure. Each Teacher’s Guide comes with digital teaching slides (digital download) that can be used on a smart board or tv screen.
Do I need a Teacher’s Guide in my Sunday school classroom? Whether you want to use Zine Guides or Teacher’s Guides in your Sunday school classroom depends on your teachers and volunteers. You know your team best, but we can help you make a decision. Reach out to smsupport@storymakersnyc.com with questions or request a digital sample using this form.
Does every teacher need their own Teacher’s Guide? We recommend having one Teacher’s Guide per classroom and giving each teacher their own Zine Guide.
Are these products for church or home? Both! StoryMakers Teacher’s Guides are for any grown-ups who want a little support in leading their StoryMaker(s) on a Bible adventure. Our products are easy to use without a lot of prep and can easily be used in big Sunday school classrooms, small homeschool co-ops, or when visiting with grandparents.
Why do you refer to children as “StoryMakers”? We believe all humans are “story makers” because we are created in the image of God, the Ultimate Story Maker! We know kids are creative, thoughtful, and imaginative beings with the ability to connect to their faith through the stories of the Bible.
How do adventures “spark the imagination”? We believe imagination is one of every child’s most valuable resources, and it is an ideal access point for the story of God’s great love. The stories of the Bible are peppered with action, drama, rebellion, and redemption. Through creative engagement, children can experience these stories with curiosity, questions, empathy, and surprising insight as they recognize themselves in the stories and see their own need for God.
