WorkshopCycles
Making Sunday School Irresistible!
The Workshop Rotation Model is changing everything about children's Sunday School and we are proud to offer a rotation curriculum that includes sacraments and coordinates with the seasons of a liturgical year. Our new Episcopal Sunday School curriculum has been successfully used by many different denominations because it is so easy to adapt with electronic files.
WorkshopCycles is a new way of experiencing Sunday School. It takes seriously the spiritual development of children while providing creative, hands-on activities to help children learn the stories of God and God's people. Children work on the same story or concept for several weeks, using different learning approaches each week. Each Unit includes workshops in Art, Drama,Music, Story, Computer, Movie and Kitchen. You choose the workshops that fit your congregation.
Designed for K-5th grade, each cycle provids detailed lesson plans (see partial list below) for seven workshops including scripts, activities and resources. WorkshopCycles makes recruiting teacheres a breeze (they can lead just one cycle), is extremely practical for busy families, some with children who only can attend alternate Sundays
