Age
Groups
Kingdom Quest divides into the age groups below for sociological reasons. A first grader usually doesn't like to be grouped back with the younger kindergarten students. The same is true for fifth graders. They don't want to be treated like little kids and are sensitive about being grouped with first graders. Sixth graders? Even if they are in middle school, are we pushing them too quickly into adolescent issues if they are with Jr. High? Grouping fifth and sixth grade together gives them their own preteen identity.
But maybe this grouping system won’t work at your church. Read more about optional grouping recommendations.
