Explore Level 1 (Gr 1-3) Teacher Leaflet (OT4)

Overview
The Explore Level 1 Teacher Leaflet, for grades 1–3, provides a complete lesson plan for each week, including a Preparing the Lesson Bible commentary for the teacher.

Each lesson has a five-part lesson plan that helps guide discussion and learning:

• Start the lesson with an opening activity to set the stage for Bible learning
• Read the Bible story
• Look at Bible illustrations or act out Bible stories
• Find the story in the Bible and answer questions
• Share the Bible story through life-application activities

One copy of the Explore Level 1 Teacher Leaflet is included in each quarter’s Cross Explorations Sunday School Kit. Additional copies may be purchased as needed.

About Cross Explorations
Cross Explorations is a large group/small group Sunday School program for grades 1–6 that takes kids through the Bible in three years. This mixed-style Bible learning experience—similar to a site-rotation program—is perfect for teaching kids and their parent the same Bible story in age-appropriate ways so family can grow in faith together.

Cross Explorations provides more material than a typical Sunday School can use in a one-hour time slot.  The flexible format lets you pick and choose what works best for your Sunday School volunteers and kids.

Cross Explorations can also be used as a midweek or family program.
