Get Ready Stay Ready | Children's Ministry Teacher Planner | Ages 5-12
Plagues and Trumpets: God Warns to Save is a complete 12-week children's ministry teacher guide for ages 3 to 12, authored by Mary Banks of Bible Teachers International. This module draws powerful connections between the plagues of Exodus and the trumpet judgments of Revelation, showing children that every warning God sends is rooted in His love and desire to save. Each weekly lesson includes a full lesson plan, an engaging Bible story with interactive prompts and hand motions, a hands-on craft activity, a group game or time-filler, a weekly memory verse, and a closing prayer. Topics covered include God's power over nature, His protection of His people during hailstorms and darkness, the Passover lamb as a picture of Jesus, the hope of resurrection, the kingship of Christ, and the call to worship. The final lesson invites children to make a personal decision to follow Jesus. Teachers will find practical classroom management tools built right into the guide, including student information pages, classroom procedures, behavior management sections, emergency protocols, and substitute teacher notes. This makes the resource useful not only for Sunday school but also for Christian homeschool co-ops, vacation Bible school, and after-school Bible clubs. Whether you are a seasoned children's minister or a first-time volunteer, this guide equips you with everything needed to deliver Spirit-led, age-appropriate lessons that plant seeds of eternal truth. It is ideal for children's pastors, Sunday school teachers, and Christian educators who want a structured yet lively curriculum that connects Old Testament narrative with New Testament prophecy.
