Children’s Ministry Resources by Geni Brooks



just-add-kids is your link to awesome children’s church curriculum created by Geni Brooks. It's kid-tested, creative, fun, (& wild & crazy)!

---

Our curriculum helps kids get to know Jesus in a more personal way, not just know about Him; and it helps kids live the Bible, not just learn what’s in the Bible! These lessons work great for both small and large churches, for both combined age groups and separate age groups.

just-add-kids is easily adapted for a “small group format”, where kids meet in small groups for a portion of the service. Also, activity pages may be reproduced for your church, so you don’t have to buy a separate activity book for each child. Each lesson plan offers different activities for younger (K-2nd) and older (3rd-5th) age groups.

This series of 25 lessons, with awesome illustrations, is to be presented 4 weeks before Christmas through 3 weeks after Easter. This series was rewritten in 2009. Part 1: lessons 1-14, ready for purchase now on CD. Part 2, lessons 15-25 ready Dec. 1!

STORY OF HEARTS CD!

Our very favorite evangelistic tool!!! This simple, kid-size plan of redemption story is a super way to lead kids to Christ! This CD contains: The Story of Hearts on PowerPoint; an entire lesson plan including a PowerPoint to lead kids in drawing this story in 8 pictures, and booklet masters to print copies of the Story of Hearts booklet to give kids when praying with them to receive Christ. This story has been translated into 7 languages and has been used on the mission field over 20 years!



STORY OF HEARTS AROUND THE WORLD!

Win kids around the world with this simple, cross-cultural tool! The Story of Hearts has been translated into 7 languages: Creole, French, German, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish. Purchase the booklet masters in any of the above languages, or choose a “wordless” Story of Heart master that only has pictures and you can insert another language not represented here. When presenting the story to kids in any country, you can show the pictures (or the PPT) of the story included on the Story of Hearts CD (see above). This story has been presented across the mission field over the past 20 years!



LET’S DRAW THE BIBLE (POWERPOINT VERSION)!

A favorite teaching tool that lets every child participate in the Bible story! Now on PowerPoint! The teacher tells a short section of the story, then shows a picture on PowerPoint, and the kids copy that picture on their own drawing pages. It’s a fresh way to present familiar stories, and every child is busy drawing! 8 stories with drawing guides. (The original Let’s Draw books–old T and New T--are still available too, to use with a dry erase or chalk board, or overhead.) This new book contains just the 8 Bible stories, not the complete lessons. This PPT version contains these stories: Old Testament (in 8 pictures!), New Testament (in 8!), Creation, Adam and Eve Blew It!, Noah and the Ark, Christmas, Easter, The Good Samaritan. All these stories are found in either one of my 2 original books, Let’s Draw the Old Testament of Let’s Draw the New Testament, except the story “Old Testament” and the story “New Testament”, which are new to this PPT version.



HOLY SPIRIT CD!

Here’s a fun way to teach kids how to be filled with the Holy Spirit! This CD contains: The Holy Spirit PowerPoint (a 10-slide story), the Holy Spirit booklet masters, and two different lesson plans (with sermon PowerPoints) for kids’ or family services: Be Filled With the Spirit, and Let’s Draw Pentecost! The Let’s Draw Pentecost lesson includes the PowerPoint presentation for showing kids how to draw the story. You can give the Holy Spirit booklets to kids when you pray with them to be filled with the Spirit.



THE STORY OF WATER BAPTISM CD

What a cool way to present water baptism to kids! This CD includes: The Story of Water Baptism PPT (an 11-slide story) and The Story of Water Baptism booklet master (make booklets kids can take home). Also on the CD: Let’s Draw Water Baptism Lesson Plan (a children’s or family service plan to teach kids and parents about water baptism) plus the Let’s Draw the Story of Baptism PPT that shows kids how to draw the story in 8 pictures!
