| I took over a year and a half ago, and the church was using the TeamKID book, but since it's a small church many of the TeamKID components aren't practical. We can't afford student books, we have limited space, limited workers, etc. I'm looking for something different to switch to that will be more friendly to our small, multi-age, one-room situation. Particularly since all of us that volunteer are also full time working moms, something easy to prepare is a must as well. I'm looking into the Bible Max curriculum, and have also considered the Elevate curriculum by Creative Pastors (but that is really pricey). Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I've used Bible Max with mixed age groups and found it to be very adaptable. You need one teacher to prepare the lesson and one adult (or responsible teen) for every 5-6 children. The activities are very engaging, there's no student book and other than paper, glue, pens, etc. you don't need to buy a lot of extra stuff.

Consider the Living Inside Out curriculum. It's great.

| I too am looking for new curriculum. We are currently using Kidmo and Lil'K and both groups have grown "bored" with it. I love the program I thought it was amazing when I took over the Children's Ministry coordinator position last November. I would like to do a January 1 launch on something new and love the idea of a group time worship to start. I reviewed the Living Inside Out program and was scared at the amount of volunteers they suggest. I currently use 3 adults in Kidmo which is K-5th ranging from 15-25 kids and use 2 adults in Lil'K which is preschool ranging 4-13 kids. As you can see our numbers fluctuate greatly. I guess my question is how difficult is LIO? I was overwhelmed by just reading the Kick off strategy for it. Things I need: High energy kids sing worship, low to zero prep for volunteers, electronics satuartaion is no problem we have it all.. any suggestions?
