FutureFlyingSaucers Object Lessons

My kids and I are huge fans of this book from FutureFlyingSaucers! The lessons and stories are incredibly practical and simple to put into action. Thanks to this resource, we’ve noticed our children’s prayer life truly deepening.

Anne Marie has done a fantastic job again, creating a treasure trove for both Children's Ministry leaders and parents dedicated to intentional faith-sharing. The book spans from Creation through the time of Jesus, but the real gem is the back section on becoming a skilled Bible teacher. I particularly appreciate her emphasis that these aren't just bedtime stories, but actual history. It’s refreshing to see curriculum that reminds kids these are true accounts. Each unit offers background, an object lesson, deeper Bible study, and life application. You can also grab matching posters directly from the FutureFlyingSaucers website. As a parent of Lego-obsessed kids, I’m thrilled to see so many activities built around building blocks—it makes engaging the kids so much easier. The resource fills gaps often found in other curricula, covering the divided kingdom, Zerubbabel rebuilding the temple, and the risks of marrying outside the faith. The balloon activity for "Between the Testaments" brilliantly captures the tension of waiting. This is a clear winner that works beautifully in a classroom or as a family devotional.

Anne Marie Gosnell’s "What God Is Doing" is an exceptional resource for bridging biblical history with critical thinking and hands-on learning. I really appreciate the kinesthetic approach, which helps kids grasp abstract concepts using everyday items that are easy to find and set up. It’s a fantastic tool for anyone teaching children, whether you are a homeschool parent or a kid ministry worker. The Tower of Babel lesson using language cards has been a standout for us; it sparked a fun habit of my kids googling phrases in different languages, helping them understand the global importance of the Gospel. Highly recommended!
