New! Rotation StationsBible truths really sink in with new Deep Blue Rotation Stations!

Rotation teaching is popular, and for good reason! As children move through different learning stations, they explore each unit’s theme story from many angles for deeper, more engaged learning. Busy volunteers will love using their specialized skills without a huge time investment—they plan once, then teach the same lesson for several weeks to different age groups.

Each unit includes seven stations: Art, Cooking, Science, Storytelling/Drama, Spiritual Practices, Games, and Missions, each with leader helps and a parent resource. Stations may also be purchased individually. For grades K–5.

Fast access via downloadable PDF lets you get started at once! Each unit provides material for up to 7 weeks. New units available monthly.

Time to rotate!

“We really enjoyed the first rotation, and we paired it with the video with the Scriptures and the music. The feedback I’m getting from parents is very encouraging. I’ve even had one family start coming back primarily because we’re offering this curriculum.”

—Mary Gossett , St. Stephens UMC, Houston , TX

“The mission curriculum was fantastic....I especially liked how the story of Creation was tied into environmental protection. Children asked good questions and seem to be well-informed on how to make personal choices about protecting the environment. Two thumbs up on this curriculum.”

—Debbie Hagewood, Connell Memorial United Methodist Church, Goodlettsville, TN
