Have you looked at the Childhood Ministry area on LifeWay.com lately? Information is updated weekly.

Levels of Learning in Childhood Ministry
Here are two tools to help you as you enlist teachers, conduct leadership and/or parent-teacher meetings, and any time you want to share with someone how important it is for boys and girls to have a biblical foundation for life.

Summer Fun with Babies
We can't climb inside the minds of babies to know what they like but they tell us a lot about their likes and dislikes by the way they respond to things. Have a little "summer fun" with babies and try some of these ideas.
 
Summer Games for Older Children
Make a splash with the kids in your class by planning a wet and wild water party. Take advantage of this relationship building time by getting in there and getting wet and wild with the kids.
 
7 Summer Ideas for Ministering to Preschoolers
The same factors that may cause Sunday School attendance to slump during the summer can help you stretch your involvement with preschoolers and their families. Try some of these ideas.

Middle School: Armed and Dangerous
The old saying, "It’s a jungle out there!" isn’t strong enough for the culture we are raising our children in today. A more appropriate description would be "battleground," and the war is being waged against our tweens on every front of their lives. Help your parents and teachers of middle schoolers to be aware of the "pop culture" dangers.

Are your kids attending camp this summer?
More than 15,000 children are registered to attend Crosspoint or Centri-Kid camps this year. Crosspoint (sports camp for 4th-8th graders) and Centri-Kid (camp for 3rd-6th graders) provide churches with camps that offer small-group Bible study, recreation, and age-appropriate worship experiences.
