Smaller churches may need kindergarten and beginner classes combined. They can then use the kindergarten programs in Sabbath School. When GraceLink begins, the beginner lesson each month will be the same story as one of the weekly KG stories. Family Sabbath School classes are a real possibility. Most adults do not want to be limited to the range that a child can understand, but it is possible for a family class to work provided everyone is willing to give up something.
Children have to give up a lot of the child-level songs and activities.
But they can still have an enjoyable and profitable experience. Plan 3-4 activities and let families choose among them. Activities would involve songs, prayer, dramatizing the children's lesson story, etc. If all the children meet together, all need to study the same lesson. We suggest using the primary level, a 4-year cycle.
