K.I.D.S. Count Stewardship Lessons

Count lessons so they can be used in multiple educational environments—Sunday schools, mid-week programs, Lutheran schools, or at home—and taught in approximately 40 minutes to an hour. The lessons can be easily incorporated into math, social studies, or health studies, where various aspects of resource management are discussed.
K.I.D.S. Count lessons are flexible and include hands-on activities to keep kids learning. Skits, puppets, activity sheets, posters, crafts, indoor and outdoor games, cooking, field trips, and service projects are just some of the fun ways K.I.D.S. Count makes each lesson come alive.
