Why do the verse slides for unit 8 not have the verses on them?
I'm using the KJV curriculum. In Unit 8, I've noticed that the verse slides do not have the verses on them. Is there a reason for this? Is this what they are going to be like from now on?
Hi Micky, I heard back from our curriculum team and have a response for you!
"Starting with Unit 8 KJV and Unit 9 ESV, we do not include the verses in the PPT for Adult and High School. This was done because the upper grades generally read long passages and sometimes entire chapters, which makes the PPT tedious to create and to flip through during class. Also, our intention is that students will be bringing their own Bibles to class and get used to reading from their own Bibles, which negates the need for the verses on the PPT. We included the references so that can be displayed to help students find the passages, but then they can read from the text. This is also important because we often refer to context, which will not be available if students are reading from the slides, and ask questions that refer back to the passage.
Middle School is inconsistent, because we did not include verses in KJV Unit 8, but then decided to go ahead and include them in Unit 9 and forward. At some point, I’ll try to update that one for consistency.
The PPT files are entirely editable, so he can always copy the verses in himself if he needs them."
Please let me know if you have any more questions or issues!
Blessings,
Arthur

Hi Kristine,
It looks like your share link for Lesson 122 expired at noon on June 9, 2020. I just manually re-set it to expire next Monday.
Please note that, as stated, the share links only last a week, so if you generate them too far ahead of time they may expire before your class actually gets to the lesson. For that reason, I would recommend holding off on generating them until you are a week or less from your lesson date.
I just generated a custom share link for your next lesson (123):

music access
I have the hardest time finding where to access the memory verse song. Each time I try the code it says invalid and I'm not even sure if I am in the right location on the computer page. Can you help. Its for Unit 5 (PMK05VIB)
Hello,
I confirmed on your account that you have access to KJV Resources. At this time, our new ABC Resources page only has ESV content. However, you can still access your KJV Resources and claim access codes on our old resources page at https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/v1/. I have added the verse music access code for Unit 5 to your account, so you should have access to PreK music as well.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues!

Hello Samuel,

my unit 2 downloads are all black and white??
access to future lessons
I used to be able to see the whole 10 lessons of resources at one time. I like to be able to assess what materials are needed so I can purchase them together for the whole unit, especially for the crafts. However, now I can only see 3 lessons ahead. How can I access the rest of the lessons?
Thank you,
Karen
Hello Karen,
Thank you for your suggestion. We are currently working on updating the new ABC Resources page, and some features of the old page are not implemented yet on the new one. To download a zipped folder of the entire lesson, please visit our old page at https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/v1/.

LOST (literally, not spiritually) Mom trying to teach Sunday School ;P
I am struggling :) I am not a teacher, just a mom and am trying to teach my young children during Sunday School (our church is small, there are no children) and have purchased the Answers Bible Curriculum Sunday School resource. So for example, I am looking at the Lesson Preparation for Lesson 1 of Unit 1. I am looking at the recommended-for-preschoolers game Basket Toss of the section "Lesson Review Game." What is this game? Where can I find instructions for it? I do not see it after visiting myanswers.com/abc-resources and putting in my code.
This may be obvious, but one of the suggestions for "Come On In" is popcorn. Is that literal popcorn, provide the kids with a snack? Or is this a game?
I do not know if I am making this harder than it is, but I'm just lost. I would appreciate any and all help, thank you so much!!
Hello Ashley,
Sorry to hear you're having issues finding lesson content on the ABC Resource page. Our web content team is still working on it, and I have reported the missing files to them.
Here is a link to our old Resources page where you should find all the resources you need for Unit 1. https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/v1/
Popcorn is actually a game that involves the kids to "pop" up and read what book of the Bible is on their flashcard. Here is a photo of the game description:
If you have any more questions, we will be glad to help!
