Each part of the lesson has a time symbol suggesting the amount of time leaders should allow for each part to be completed. The guides include lesson outlines for a 75, 45, or 30-minute class time. Memorization is a key element of the curriculum and activities will help children learn and memorize the scripture and questions. The Resource Book is a companion to the guides.
