This child's component is a set of mini-posters.
Unit 1 for 3-5s looks at the subject of 'Who is God? Who is Jesus? From Genesis to Matthew'.
This child's component is a set of mini-posters which the children use to make their own 'Big Book' as a reminder of each week's learning.
This child's component accompanies the Click Unit 1: 3-5s Leader's Manual. There is a Leader's Pack also available.
CLICK is a Bible-based programme for teaching and discipling children from 3-11 years. The CLICK curriculum is based on the belief that the Bible’s own theological framework should direct what is taught and how it is taught. CLICK is Bible-based, teaching the major events, concepts and doctrines of the Bible. It’s also great fun!

We have started using this with our group of 3-5yr olds and so far it has been a complete success. There is enough material to choose what you want to use that would be good with your group, and love the activites so at their level!
In my church we teach children aged 5-7 within the same class. I had originally ordered Unit 1 for ages 5-7 but found that it was generally too advanced for my 5 and 6 year olds and not easily adapted without totally changing the language used and the activities suggested.
The age 3-5 syllabus is more easily adapted for the 6/7 year olds whose understanding can be stretched without confusing the younger children and I am more confident all the children are learning and feeling confident in their involvement through answering questions, understanding memory verses and engaging independently in craft activities.
The material grasps the attention of our children who through the crafts and picture illustrations become absorbed in the stories from the Bible. Leaders consider the manual and material excellently prepared and presented.
We looked for a resource which could be adapted as we only have two children i our Sunday school and wanted it to be relevant to both age groups one is 4 and one is 7 this is really good as it starts with the basics.
Having had this reccomended to me i have introduced it to my church and it has been a great success! It caters for our large group which contains loud and quiet little people, it's style is modern and relevant. Every week is packed with more ideas than we could possible use! Well worth a read.
I like the layout of this material and find most activities are suitable for this age-group, and i would think could be used with varying numbers of children. i especially like the idea for food, linked to each story!
Click as a whole cannot really be used with our Sunday School, however, as we have classes which run across age-groups and we do some of the session as one group, and the material for each age-group is different.
In theory I like the way the whole story of salvation is told through the whole series - but it does seem to assume that a child starts in Sunday school at three and carries on until they are 11, and that each year you can start a new class at the first session, whilst last year's class carries on (ie that you have a class for each year group) - otherwise the continuity for an individual child is lost as they come in part way through the series, maybe then go to the beginning as you start a new cycle, and then move up a class into the middle of the next series.
I therefore tend to pick and choose sessions from the material as I need it, and overall find it very useful.
