Peace Curriculum

• 4 volumes for 4 age groups (Preschool-Kindergarten, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, Middle School)
• 15 ready-to-use lesson plans containing background information, stories, crafts, and activities
• 7 lesson plans from the Christian Bible
• 7 lesson plans from other faith traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Islamic, Hasidism, Sikhism, Indigenous)
• No specific training needed. Adults learn along with the kids!

Lesson plans are easily adapted to:

• Sunday School classes looking to share an interfaith perspective
• Multifaith or no-faith families interested in teaching kids about the world’s religions
• Educators hoping to enhance global competence and pluralistic understanding in their classrooms and communities

All four volumes of the Peace unit are available in both digital and hard copy formats at Possibilities Publishing.

Here’s what educators are saying:

“I have realized how absolutely incredible this program is! Each week I am blessed and excited to lead the kids through it…. THANK YOU! I cannot say enough positive things about it. You have a true gem here….My kiddos love Wednesday nights now and our attendance has almost tripled. I have parents staying “to help” that sit in the back and soak it all up….I have at least three sets of parents who 6 months ago would have used the word Islam only in a derogatory sense. My husband overheard one of those dads sharing the story I read from the Qur’an this past Sunday. Talk about bringing some peace. If you knew that man you would understand what a huge deal that is. THANK YOU!” Children’s Minister, United Methodist Church, SC

“We just finished our interfaith unit! We combined the Peace unit of your curriculum with materials from the World Peace Village. Each week we looked at a different religious tradition, comparing a lesson of peace from that tradition with a lesson of peace from Christianity. We found the story pairings in your curriculum very helpful!” Rev. Caroline Hamilton-Arnold, Transitional Associate Minister, Newtown Congregational Church

“Vicki, thanks for sending us the Embracing the Darkness unit of your youth curriculum. We’ve had some good success with it and the kids like it a lot. We even did a whole Sunday morning using one of the lessons for the whole congregation and they LOVED it!” Candace Chellew-Hodge, Jubilee! Circle, Columbia, SC
