A Study for Children on Wisdom and Foolishness

The book of Proverbs is a book of life-giving advice and ominous warning. The advice is to pursue wisdom. The warning is to avoid folly, because foolishness leads to destruction. However, wisdom must be pursued. It takes effort, discipline, and a teachable heart. It also takes instruction.

REVISED 2023: This Midweek curriculum uses the book of Proverbs and other Bible passages to contrast the way of the foolish with the way of the wise. Using a large banner illustrating two paths, students learn about the characteristics and destinations of the foolish and the wise, the meaning of the fear of the Lord, the treasure of wisdom, and the only way to enter the way of the wise—through Jesus Christ.

Pat

Last school year we did Way of the Wise with our first through sixth graders on Wednesday night. Towards the end of the year one of our fifth graders came to us and told us that he had taken the information from way of the wise and prepared his 4-H speech for school. He was supposed to do a demonstration for his 4-H club and what he demonstrated was how to get from the way of the foolish to the way of the wise. His dad helped him and they talked about how it was great to read your Bible and it was great to go to church but that couldn’t get you from the way of the foolish to the way of the wise. He then drew a cross on the whiteboard that he was demonstrating on between the two ways and said the only way to get from one to the other was through the cross of Jesus. Really touched our hearts. The kids really got the message of the Way of the Wise!! Thanks for the great curriculum.
