The lesson “God’s Plan and Design for the Family” teaches children self-awareness and identity, as well as about being part of both an immediate family and God’s larger family. The children learn about why God places people in families and are able to describe at least two groups in which they are involved that act as a type of family. Each child will then be able to describe at least three things God is teaching him or her through family interactions and situations. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 14th lesson in the 2nd year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Family” unit.
