Cannot find the puzzle war printable for unit 1 lesson 1
These are Pack items in the Grades 1-6 Leader Pack and are not printable items. If you have a Leader Pack, these are Item 5 & 6: Puzzle Grid and Puzzle Pieces. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!!
I have been teaching 2nd grade Sunday school for over 20 years. Maybe you think that is too long, but I believe the Bible verses you have been using lately are too difficult for 1st & 2nd Graders to understand and there are really too hard for them to memorize. My kids seem to just glaze over when we go over these verses. Can’t you use easier verses to remember & understand. The Life Way staff use to do this.
Thank you for your feedback. We love hearing from churches that use our curriculum. Also, I love that you have taught for many years! Thank you for investing your life to impact children and teach them about Jesus! We do understand that these verses can be hard for younger ages. The unit verse is the same for the entire month so we pray that children will really grasp the verse and understand it after the 4 or 5 weeks. We use the same weekly verse in Grades 1-6. The content editor will occasionally underline a portion of the weekly verse. (See p. 16, 22, 28, 48, and 54 of the Fall Leader Guide). She then puts a statement in the Leader Guide: “If you feel like the Weekly Verse is too long for your kids, use the underlined portion of the verse on the Leader Bible Study Page.” (See p. 19, 26, 31, 50, and 57 of the Fall Leader Guide.) We hope this helps give teachers options to use the same verse, but to shorten it a bit for these younger ages. Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely keep this in mind when planning future quarters.
Is there a Life Action DVD available as a digital download for the Fall 2021 lessons? I cannot find it anywhere on the order site.
Hello Tessa,
We no longer provide the Life Action DVD as a separate purchase. This is now provided in the Basic subscription of Ministry Grid which is our new digital platform. Here is a site with more information: https://www.lifeway.com/digitalstudies
For those churches that only need the Life Action DVD, you can purchase a physical copy of the DVD. Inside each physical copy, we provide a download card with a code for one free digital download of all of the material. If you went this route, you would purchase a physical copy of the DVD, but just use the digital download card provided instead of the physical DVD. I hope this helps for future quarters. Unfortunately, the Fall 2021 BSFL Life Action DVD is no longer in stock. For those churches who still need these videos digitally, but are not subscribers to Ministry Grid, please let me know. We are sending dropbox folders to churches or getting them a 30 day subscription to MG to assist them for Fall. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need help with Ministry Grid. Thank you!
Is there a way to access activity sheets? Without subscribing to Ministry Grid?

Please provide a link or web address for the Missions Emphasis video. I enjoy using these each month, but often have a difficult time finding the video. I am currently needing the “Family on Mission” video for November.
These videos are found on the Life Action DVD.
I am sending you an email as well. Thank you!

Is there a way to get the printed lyrics for the audio song “All Together” for 11/14? Thanks!! 🙂
The song lyrics are found on p. 96-97 of the Leader Guide.
I have copied and pasted them here as well:
ALL TOGETHER
We love each other
No matter what
Learning every day
We build each other up
Even tho’ sometimes
It’s an uphill climb
We are, we are, we are …
(Chorus)
All together,
This is family
Standing hand in hand, side
by side
All together
Loving, serving we
Live to honor Jesus Christ
This is family
We serve and honor
No matter what
Helping brother, sister
With the help of God
It’s the way we try
To live in Jesus’ light
We are, we are, we are …
(Repeat Chorus)
Loving God is our heartbeat
Serving one another, we’re His
hands and feet
Loving God is our heartbeat
We are, we are, we are
(Repeat Chorus)
This is family
This is family
