Description
Kids remember far more than we think. Alphabet Soup: God’s Food for the Soul uses that window. It’s a preschool curriculum that walks through the alphabet from A to Z, and each letter opens up a basic truth about who God is and how He wants us to live.
The big idea of the series is simple: God’s Word is like food for our souls. It tells us how we got here and how to live. The series starts with “God Made Adam, God Made Me!” and ends with “Let Jesus Change You Like Zacchaeus Did!” Along the way, kids learn that God made them, that the Bible is His Word, that He provides what we need, that He never leaves us, and that Jesus is God’s Son who came to save us.
Each lesson includes:
- A main idea and memory verse written for preschoolers
- A short teaching outline with suggestions for hands-on, sensory teaching (bring in dirt, touch your ears, rub your belly)
- An interactive song to make the truth stick
- An activity, craft, or game idea, such as a Creation Scavenger Hunt, Rejoice Freeze Dance, Mud Rescue Sensory Bin, and Branch on the Vine craft
- A printable memory verse sheet to hang at home
Flexible scheduling: There are 26 lessons, and each one is built to be taught twice. Use one lesson every two weeks for a full 52-week year, or teach the same lesson Sunday morning and midweek to finish in 26 weeks.
Built to partner with parents: Parents are the biggest influence in a young child’s life. So the curriculum sends each lesson home in a parent packet with the outline, the child’s finished activity pages, and the verse sheet. That way families can review the lesson together. One hour a week at church can turn into a week of faith conversations at home.
Also included:
- A full series outline
- A Curriculum Goals page for teachers, which gives a vision for teaching with kindness, patience, and grace
- A compiled set of all 26 memory verse sheets for easy printing
It works well for small and rural churches, volunteer-led classes, and any ministry that wants to plant God’s Word in young hearts before they fully understand it, so it’s there when they’re ready.
