Resurrection Day Curriculum


I'm so excited!! It's finally done! I've been working for several months on a new curriculum called The Lamb That Was Slain Resurrection Day Curriculum. I finally finished it and its ready to sell on my new website!!

I wrote this curriculum because I couldn't find what I was looking for to teach my own children last year. It starts with a Bible reading plan for the month leading up to Resurrection Day. This is assuming a 5-day week of family Bible reading. It goes through Jesus' death and resurrection, with a Psalm for each day. I chose Psalms that related to Jesus or prophesied about Him.

The next section is Study Questions and Answers to help delve deeper into the text. Some of them are very basic for younger students, some are much more thought-provoking and theological for older ones. My hope was that each mom could determine which questions would be appropriate to discuss or write about.

After that is a lapbook study, which I'm pretty excited about. I love lapbooks, and this one is custom-made to exactly what I was looking for to teach my own children. It goes through the Passion of Christ, but also talks about the Passover supper, linking Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb.

And then last is my favorite part of all! It is a Christian Seder Haggadah. The Seder is the Passover meal that has been celebrated by Jews since Moses. Jesus took it and used it for His last supper and Communion with His disciples. The Haggadah is the order of service that they use. I rewrote one to be completely based on Christ. I'm excited to use this with my own children this year. We've done them in the past, but never one this stream-lined or focused on Christ!
