KICKRiCK

"Thank you. We love your activities. We have used them for the last several years as our Bible School and wednesday night activities. It has helped our small church do a quality program without killing our budget. Thanks for caring about God's little ones."

"Wanted to thank you for putting together such an action packed Armor of God KICKRiCKulum. I used an abbreviated version for a group of 40+ 3-6 grade boys last weekend. The material is easy to learn and use and most of all entertaining for the kids. If the rest of your KICKRiCKulum is as active, I'll be a repeat customer."

We do have a success story with Kickrickulum. We have over 110 children (pre K-6th) who attend our midweek ministry. We have one team who does the Lesson Launch, puppet shows, skits... Then we have the children break into 8 smaller groups for the lesson applications. I would be happy to share any tips or ideas to anyone who wants to improve their ministry and use this curriculum. We have tried many other lesson ideas and this is by far the faviorite for the children and for the teachers.

Thanks again. In Christ,

It's one thing to hear the writers tell you about KiCKRICKulum and how easy it is to teach from, how it's packed out, affordable, flexible, fun, and ready to lead today's child into the presence of God. But it's something else to hear satisfied, teachers, and children's ministers share their thoughts on why KICKRiCKulum is the pastor's and teacher's choice. Check these out:

"Thank you so much for getting back with me. I love your curriculum and my staff really enjoys teaching it. It is so flexible and easy to adapt to any program. Thank you for taking the time to write a great curriculum for both children and teachers. God bless all of you."

"Thank you so much for your curriculum. We have just finished doing THE PARABLES and last season did THE BEATITUDES. We teach a combined 1st - 3rd children's church. Your material has been wonderful to use. We enjoyed the stories, object lessons, and games. We do puppets, so having the skits was a great bonus. The kids love Ric, but Oily Al really makes the point! Bless you for your work. Keep it coming. Just this morning a lady from a neighboring town visited our program. Her church is having to go to a one-room, 1st-6th grade class and we told her to look at your material. You have helped us immensely and we are grateful. Finding good curriculum is very difficult and KickRick has worked well for us."

Blessings in Christ,

"The children have completed the first two lessons of the Ten Commandments and they loved them! My 4 year old son is even reciting some of the commandments! Thank you again for using your talents and for all you do for God’s youngest children."

"Our Children's Ministry Team has been using KICKRiCKulum for our Preschool (3yrs - pre K) and Elementary (K-5th) for the past year. We open with both classes together for music and puppets, adapting the puppet script to fit the personality of our three puppets. Our Preschool teacher is our "Special Delivery" (which the kids love) person. Her class then goes to their own room. There is so much material that we also use it for our Wednesday night program. The teachers love it's adaptability. The kids have so much fun learning that they invite their friends. Children who are invited by friends are asking their parents to come to church. A dad attending for the first time today told me , 'My daughter just loves coming here!' Our children's ministry is called PromisedLand and our decorating theme is an archaeological dig, where we 'dig' through God's Word. But any theme would work....it's that flexible. Keep on creating new lessons!! Please!"

"Good children's church curriculum is very hard to find. I was over-joyed to discover the fresh, fun and fantastic materials from KICKrickulum! Not only are the lessons appealing to kids, but they are easy to prepare as well. The kids love the skater theme, but the teacher can appreciate the strong biblical content, the many creative options, and the easy to follow lesson plan layout. I highly recommend KICKrickulum to anyone who enjoys teaching kids with fun but meaningful materials."

"I am the Shepherd-coordinator for our 3rd through 6th Sunday School program (we call it "Wise Guys") at Open Door Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona. We have been using Psalm 23 this summer and have really enjoyed it. It is teacher friendly and stimulating for the kids. We are planning to use The Beatitudes Curriculum in the fall as a part of our Children's Church ministry. Thanks for the time and heart that you put into the development of your curriculum. Keep up the great work and God Bless You!"

"I’VE BEEN USING THE BEST SUMMER CURRICULUM IN THE WORLD--YOURS! I purchased your Ten Commandments curriculum at CP conference in Cincy. I had scouted the booths at CP looking for a curriculum that taught the same story to 1st - 5th graders but individualized a bit for the small group time. Yours did! I have a great team of teachers for my first hour classes who are using your curriculum for the summer and they LOVE it! And even though I didn't plan on using it during the year, I have changed my mind. It works. The kids are learning and memorizing the commandments (we are charting their achievements and give rewards). There aren't a bunch of papers that never get used or never get home, I've been able to combine the classes for summer, and using whatever staff will be there, fit their parts in to whatever is needed. This team happens to be made up mostly of men (my husband is one) and they are having more fun with it than with anything they've used. I really appreciate what you are trying to accomplish and now am trying to decide now how to get through next year. The way I figure I can use the Beatitudes for fall, but will be stuck for winter. I can use Psalm 23 for spring and the parables in June. How many "series" are you planning? You will not be able to get them off the press soon enough to suit me :) Thanks for testing the waters in the curriculum department. It is much needed and makes good use of staff."

"I've been in Children's Ministry for 15 years and I've never seen a group of teachers as excited about teaching a curriculum. They come early to prepare the object lessons and stay late to discuss what happened in class that night and who's going to do what next week And they do all this with a smile on their face!"

"This is the second year that our Children's Church program has used the Kickriculum material. Each lesson is laid out in an easy-to-follow format, that can be used by both beginning teachers and experienced teachers. Kickriculum is chock full of ideas for fun games and on-hands involvement activities for the children. The puppet skit options are terrific! We love the fact that the curriculum has 1st-3rd and 4th-6th grade options. Easier ideas for the younger group and more challenging ideas for the older group. Our kids have responded so enthusiastically with the puppet characters Rick and Oily Al. Our teaching team has found this curriculum to be one of the best around! It's fun for the kids and stays true to God's Word!!"

"You'll never know what a blessing your curriculum has been to our Wednesday night program. As I prayed about Wednesday nights, I felt God was wanting 12 weeks of intensive learning about one area of the Bible. Through much searching, I came upon your curriculum. My excitement started rallying excitement for the whole program. We began with The Ten Commandments. By the end of three or four weeks, so many of the parents were telling other parents what their kids were coming home and telling them, they decided that they should bring their kids on Wednesday nights too!!! Our attendance in those 2 classes is greater than I've seen in the past 2 years that I have been Children's Ministries Director. I have even had parents ask me what we will be studying next quarter!! That has never happened before. My daughter is in the K-1st grade class, and she comes home every Wednesday learning how she will apply the Ten Commandments to her own little life. This curriculum is helping our little children's lives become transformed. It is exciting...Thank you!"

"We have enjoyed your curriculum. We use it for our Wednesday night program. We like it because it keeps the kids attention, has good Bible content, is fun, and it doesn't take too much preparation work if you use a team approach like we do. We use 2 teachers for each age group (3yr-K and 1-6th) and then we have one person do the puppet and one person who plays both Oily Al and Francois. The Oily Al skits are great! The writing is superb. The curriculum also allows us to keep boys and girls together which we prefer because of staffing limitations. ...[T]hanks for being a blessing to our church."

"I teach 1st thru 6th grade Sunday School at our church - which at present runs 20 to 30 kids - often with no assistant. Your material is the only curriculum I've found that actually captures and keeps their attention and leaves them with a piece of God's truth practical enough that they retain what they learn from one week to the next. I also teach children's church and a midweek program. I use unrelated material for those classes but they often pull from the verses and principles taught in your curriculum to help them understand the truth I'm teaching. Your curriculum gives me the flexibility to add my own twist to the lesson. As I am training new teachers, it gives me the flexibility to break off one or two grades with age specific suggestions. A final note - it is affordably priced so that an individual could pick it up for their class or run it through a finance committee with relative ease (mine hardly glanced at the P.O.!). Thanks - keep up the great work."
