Guide
How to use a Sunday school lesson planner
Sunday school lessons are short, and preparing them often happens in the gaps of a busy week. A lesson planner gives every Sunday the same shape, so preparation is about content, not layout.
Fill in the basics early in the week
Date, lesson, scripture, memory verse, age group and who's leading.
Plan the flow
Opening and welcome, the Bible story, an activity or craft, discussion questions, prayer and a take-home idea for families.
Gather materials
Note craft supplies in the activity box and buy them by Friday.
Take attendance
The attendance page has a row per child and a column per day. It's also useful for safeguarding.
Keep in touch with families
The parent contact log records what you shared and any follow-up.

See all themesDoes it include lesson content?
No. It's a planner for whichever curriculum or Bible passages your church uses. Each weekly page has space for the scripture, memory verse, story, activity and discussion.
Can several teachers share it?
Yes. Share the PDF with the teaching team, or have one person keep it and send pages to whoever is teaching that week.
Is there a free Sunday school lesson planner?
You can build this Sunday school lesson planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the Sunday school lesson planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the Sunday school lesson planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
When does the 2026–2027 Sunday school lesson planner start?
It starts in September and runs to August by default. In the builder you can choose any start month and year, including this month so you don't pay for pages that are already past, and a 12 or 18-month length. Switch to undated if you'd rather write the dates yourself.
Does the AI fill in the Sunday school lesson planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the Sunday school lesson planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 321 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Sunday School, Teaching and Faith pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
