Do you want to help children discover the thrill of getting involved with mission?

WEC have a wide range of materials about different peoples and cultures to help you do that: some free, some to buy, and some to borrow.

We can also help you locate and obtain appropriate information and materials from other sources, and we sometimes develop new resources to fit a group's specific interests.

Resource packs to buy

sample children's resource packsReady-to-use sets of resources for teachers to use with a group of children.  A typical pack focuses on one country or people group, and will include a leader's guide and worksheet, a story, games, activities, crafts or games, and prayer ideas.

A pack can be used in different settings, and can provide up to a 2-hour programme.

The material is mostly for 7–11 year olds; some include alternatives for younger children.

There are even three resources in the Welsh language.

New packs are constantly being developed. If your chosen topic is not available, we will seek to help you obtain sufficient information or resources to get started. Tell us about your planned event – about one month ahead of time – the type of venue, the intended purpose of the activities, the numbers expected, the children's age-range, the event duration and probable date(s). 

The Children's Resources Unit has been the contact point for further information through the award-winning books, You Can Change the World (written by Jill Johnstone), You Too Can Change the World and the combined edition, Window On The World (both by Daphne Spraggett). Although these books are currently out of print, WEC continue to seek to help you, as you help children make the world come alive!
