The UUA curriculum is Tapestry of Faith, the teaching of which nurtures Unitarian Universalist identity, encourages spiritual growth, helps develop a transforming faith, and explores vital communities of justice and love.
Pre-K to 1st: Spirit Play
Moral Tales for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders: Every day our children go forth into a complex world where they are often faced with difficult decisions and situations. Through story telling and activities Moral Tales attempts to provide children with the spiritual and ethical tools they will need to make choices and take actions reflective of their Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values. As Kevin Ryan and Karen Bohlin suggest in their book, Building Character in Schools (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1999), stories such as the ones woven throughout Moral Tales can activate and inform children's learning about how to make moral choices.
Toolbox of Faith for 4th and 5th graders:
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic who would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. - Confucius
Toolbox of Faith invites 4 and 5th- grade participants to reflect on the qualities of our Unitarian Universalist faith, such as integrity, courage, and love, as tools they can use in living their lives and building their own faith. Each of the 16 sessions uses a tool as a metaphor for an important quality of our faith such as reflection (symbolized by a mirror), flexibility (duct tape), and justice (a flashlight).
Riddle and Mystery for 6th and 7th graders: The purpose of Riddle and Mystery is to assist 6th and 7thgraders in their own search for understanding. Each of the 16 sessions introduces and processes a Big Question. The first three echo Paul Gauguin’s famous triptych: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? The next ten, including Does God exist? and What happens when you die?, could be found on almost anyone’s list of basic life inquiries. The final three are increasingly Unitarian Universalist: Can we ever solve life’s mystery? How can I know what to believe?
