Faith in Kids has something for everyone—and it’s all free! They provide excellent podcasts and resources tailored for family-led discipleship, children's leaders, and church leaders. Their curriculum is thoughtfully organised to support Sunday school, midweek kids' clubs, holiday clubs, all-age services, toddler groups, school lessons, assemblies, and family outreach.

Recently, they launched a resource called "Growing Up God's Good Story." This material is designed to initiate important conversations about bodies, gender, and desires with children, while also equipping families to continue these discussions at home. It’s well-resourced with helpful materials, including parent podcasts, take-home sheets, volunteer videos, and creative ideas.

Overall, Faith in Kids is an invaluable asset for anyone involved in children's ministry!

Foundationstones Resources are brilliant for all ages. The material is well-presented, with one page containing everything you need for a session. It is easy to use for newcomers to your Children's team as well as those who are more experienced. The varied activities are engaging, flexible and include an opportunity to connect with God each week, which I love.

The resources are themed so you could buy the set for Abraham, David, Jehovah Names of God, Planet Protectors (and many more!) and each set lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. There is also a useful Take Home sheet provided, with ideas of simple activities/questions to chat about with parents/carers about. We love it!

Little Leaders Big Lives is a children's discipleship course that captures children's imagination and hearts through fun animal characters that help them to explore the gospel and their identity in God.

From a book series to a resource filled discipleship course, these resources are perfect for the home, kids church groups and schools. The illustrations are so wonderful and engage both children and adults alike.

I have these books in a children's book area at church and they are read every week. I make them available at every family community event and families of all types, cultures and religions love to sit and read these books together.

The Prayer Spaces in Schools website is a project of 24-7 Prayer and is a great place for finding creative prayer ideas.

Although the website is set up for the school setting I have used many of the ideas in church with small groups of children, training for families in praying together and for whole church prayer sessions.   The resources can be filtered by age or subject and any resources required are ones you would have at church or home. You can adapt the suggestions for your context and I often find they are simply a starting point for an idea.

I recommend taking a look at this online resource and trying a few ideas with your groups.
