The pressure to teach perfectly melts away with the Eureka! Jr. Leader’s Guide. Providing consistent lesson structure, activities, and discussions to build confidence among students and leaders.

Kids are curious. They want to figure it out, try it out, solve the problem, and uncover the mystery. They want to explore, learn, and discover things for themselves. Kids are more likely to remember and embrace a discovery they view as their own. Eureka! provides opportunities for faith discoveries to happen every week. Follow the curiosity of your kids and see where God leads!

Consistent lesson structure, activities, and discussions build confidence among students and leaders. Group storytelling methods are easy to lead and easy to master. Leaders are never asked to lecture, memorize scripts, or be amazing storytellers. The pressure to teach perfectly melts away.

Eureka! dives deep by equipping kids with the experience and confidence to read and explore the Bible. Two simple questions guide every exploration of Scripture. What’s that word? What's this say about God and us?

Kids and leaders are active and equal participants in Eureka! The pillars of each lesson are interactive storytelling activities, hands-on learning stations, and discussion. Leaders guide kids through the process of digging into Scripture, listening to their peers, and exploring ideas that come up during a lesson. Everyone has ownership in the exploring and learning process.

In this quarter your kids will explore stories from both the Old Testament and New Testament. They will start off by learning about a time Jesus healed a paralyzed man. They will discover what happened when Saul was called by God, and then later how he and Silas were miraculously freed from jail. From the Old Testament, your kids will discover how God helped Nehemiah rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and how God called Isaiah to be a prophet in the midst of a tumultuous time. Your kids will dig into the faithfulness of Daniel and how God rescued him from the lions’ den. In the final two weeks of this quarter, your kids will explore a passage from Psalm 119 and will learn how God’s Word is a light for their path. Your kids will continue to practice the hermeneutic (Bible study strategy) that is at the core of Eureka! Jr. They will learn how to read the Bible and discover God’s love.

These two “what” questions make up the foundation of a strong Bible study strategy (hermeneutic) and form the fabric of Eureka! Jr. It won’t be long before your kids have these down pat.

What’s that word? We explore a key word in the passage. Kids have much more confidence during expeditions when they know the meaning of the words.

What’s this say about God and us? God reveals himself through the Bible. We explore the Bible in order to know God. God teaches us about himself and his love throughout the Bible. As we learn about God and embrace his love for us, how do we react? What are we to do? Who are we? How do we live in God’s love?
