Calvary Chapel
http://www.calvarycurriculum.com/ This curriculum covers EVERY story you
could imagine. Very thorough. Lesson worksheets always include: coloring page, a
crossword (with bible verses as the questions) and a maze (2 different pages
with different levels of difficulty), and a walk-through the lesson with
multiple choice, fill-in the blank, etc. always based on the scripture. These
are great reinforcements because they only rely on scripture, and they cover
every lesson you can teach. Lesson packets are in pdf and you can order a CD of
the entire curriculum for FREE. Indexed by MSSS crafts. Covers Old and New
Testament and available in Spanish! Now they even have a 2-K series!
