Free Bible Curriculum For Preschool to 6th Grade

  • This post contains an affiliate link to Amazon, which means I receive a percentage of the purchase price in Amazon credit if you make a purchase using this link. The affiliate link is not affiliated at all with the free Bible curriculum shown in this post. It is simply a resource I have used and loved personally. 
Today I came across Calvary Curriculum, which offers free Bible curriculum for preschool-6th grade. There is a separate curriculum for preschool-kindergarten, 2 options for 1st-6th graders, and a topical study curriculum for 3rd-6th graders. Each lesson is downloadable in a pdf and contains a coloring sheet, worksheets, word searches, and crossword puzzles. The website also has downloadable posters.

We will be using the new children's curriculum this school year. The new children's curriculum covers the life of Jesus in 95 lessons. The original children's curriculum covers the Old and New Testaments in 325 lessons. 

This year we will be doing school for 33 weeks. We will be using this curriculum 3 days a week which will cover the 95 lessons. The other 2 school days per school week we will use the Leading Little Ones to God  devotional. I first discovered this devotional when I used Sonlight curriculum in one of the Christian schools I taught at. I absolutely adore it for young children.
