The Simply Loved Pre-K & K Holiday Year 1 Buddy Video DVD contains short, weekly lesson videos that reinforce Bible learning and transport Pre-K & K kids from the church room into God’s amazing story. Plus, the training videos help your entire team be even more effective—and more awesome!

This DVD includes: 

4 weekly Bible Memory Buddy videos presented by the fun-loving Simply Loved Pre-K & K mascot, Buzzly the Bee. Because young kids LOVE repetition, Buzzly starts every lesson by introducing this unit’s cool animal Bible Memory Buddy, and he wraps up every lesson by reinforcing Bible Points. In between, kids will get to know the unit’s lovable Bible Memory Buddy, who helps them learn Bible truths in fun and memorable ways while sharing incredible animal facts. And by making the connection from animals to Bible truths, your Pre-K & K kids will remember important truths from God’s Word for years to come!

The Simply Loved Music Video DVD is filled with four music videos from Group’s award-winning VBS programs. Each song will get your kids praising God and learning even more Bible truths with catchy, easy-to-remember lyrics. The videos include on-screen lyrics and simple motions to make leading worship effortless for you and easy for kids to follow.

One DVD is included in every Simply Loved Elementary Holiday Year 1 kit and Pre-K and K Holiday Year 1 kit. Order extras for additional classrooms.

The Simply Loved Pre-K & K Holiday Music CD is the perfect companion to help little ones learn the quarter’s Bible verses and easily transition from one activity to another. Featuring one song for each of the three units’ Bible Memory Verses, this CD uses singing to help little ones memorize and plant Bible verses deep in their hearts.

The catchy classroom songs signal times of welcome, cleanup, prayer, and send-off to help your Pre-K & K friends naturally transition to the next part of a lesson. Because young kids love repetition and predictability, we include the same four, memorable transition songs on every Simply Loved Pre-K & K Holiday Year 1 music CD.

The Simply Loved Pre-K & K Holiday Music CD features this custom-recorded Bible Memory Verse song:

• God So Loved the World (John 3:16)

The CD also includes the Simply Loved Pre-K & K classroom transition songs:

• The Cleanup Song
• Hello, My Friends
• God, You Are So Good
• Goodbye, My Friends

Coloring Creation pages are the perfect way for Pre-K & K kids to interact with weekly Simply Loved Bible lessons and show off their creativity. During Sunday school they’ll add a 3-D object to the Bible story scene and then color it to their heart’s delight. The opposite side has another coloring page kids can complete at home that features the unit’s Bible Memory Buddy and the Bible Memory Verse. They’re a great way to send the fun and excitement of Simply Loved lessons home so families can continue growing together in their friendship with Jesus.

Every Simply Loved Pre-K & K Holiday Year 1 kit includes one Holiday Coloring Creation pages booklet with 8 unique coloring pages, two for each week. The booklet is perforated so pages easily tear out, and pages are black and white so kids can add their own color.

Permission to copy is granted, but if you prefer, you can purchase enough booklets for your weekly attendance and simply tear out the pages each week. Or, if you purchase the Plus Digital kit, you can print the pages straight from the USB drive included.

The Simply Loved Take-It-Home Flyers are the BEST. WAY. EVER. to get Sunday school lessons home. Why? Because Sunday school teachers told us that kids’ favorite thing to do with their take-home papers is to fashion them into paper airplanes—virtually every week. So, we embraced the idea and turned the Simply Loved take-home papers into foldable creations that kids LOVE.
