Linda Lee says
Where do I find the printable for the treasure box for the story about the ark being captured?
Brian Dembowczyk says
Activity printables are on the Enhanced CD in Leader Kits, the printables folder in digital bundles, and on the Additional Resources page for the current cycle.
David Willy says
Is there a preteen teaching guide or any other resources to use specifically for preteens? I thought I had seen something for preteens in the additional resources before but I am not finding it now.
Brian Dembowczyk says
The preteen content is provided in the Kids Leader Kits (on one of the discs) or in the Kids Digital Bundles.
Michele says
Wanted to request that the yellow print in the summer 2019 not be used in future additions. I literally cannot read most of the print because of the color. I don’t ever make negative comments to resources but I just felt it was important enough. I love this resource for my middles school class and I was disappointed not to be able to use those while teaching because of struggling to read. Thank you
Ed Schmidt says
Hi there, is the leader’s manual for A kingdom provided available for purchase online? I haven’t seen it on your site, but I’m not very skilled at searches of this nature.
Brian Dembowczyk says
Yes. Click shop on this site, then the age group, then that volume.
