Free Kindergarten Christian Homeschool Curriculum

Are you looking for free kindergarten homeschool curriculum? At Freedom Homeschooling, we list several free all-in-one-curriculum programs. These programs include every subject your kindergartener will need. Homeschoolers often choose all-in-one programs because of the simplicity they provide. They take care of the planning and curriculum selection for you.

However, many homeschoolers, including myself, prefer to choose a separate curriculum for each subject. This allows us to customize our children’s education, choosing materials that fit their learning styles and individual needs in each subject area. Also, I’ve always enjoyed the variety that a more eclectic approach provides. Using the same approach and materials for every subject can become monotonous for some students.

If you’d like to piece together your own customized free kindergarten homeschool curriculum, visit Freedom Homeschooling’s homepage, and choose a subject area to explore from the menu. On that subject’s page, you will find a list of links to free curriculum resources.

Below, I’ve provided a sample free kindergarten Christian curriculum. This sample curriculum is intended to give you an idea of what a free kindergarten homeschool curriculum could look like. However, kindergarteners’ abilities and readiness to learn certain skills vary greatly. A lot of what is taught in kindergarten classrooms today was considered 1st grade when many of us were in school. Also, opinions about what is age appropriate to learn in kindergarten vary significantly from family to family. So, even more than our 1st through 8th grade curriculum guides, keep in mind that these are only suggestions. Make substitutions as needed. Don’t push your kindergartner to learn skills, such as reading, before they are ready or bore them with topics they already know.

Additionally, at the end of this post, you’ll find a Free Printable Curriculum Plan.

Language Arts, Geography, and Art

The Good & the Beautiful (TGTB) Language Arts Level K covers phonics, reading, writing, spelling, literature, grammar, punctuation, art, and geography in one downloadable course. The course download includes the Course Book, Reading Booster A Cards, and Reading Booster A Books Set. TGTB recommends using their free placement test to determine if Level K is the right level for your child.

Math

The Simply Good and Beautiful Math K Course teaches math using a 120-lesson downloadable course book. The course book is in a worktext format and includes parent instructions. The Math K Box, which includes several math manipulatives, is also required to complete the course. If you don’t wish to purchase the Math K Box, The Good and the Beautiful (TGTB) has instructions for creating your own on their Math K FAQs page. TGTB recommends using their free math placement test to ensure Math K is the right level for your child.

Bible

Trueway Kids offers forty-five Old Testament Bible lessons. Each lesson includes a downloadable lesson pack with a Bible story, coloring sheets, several printable activities, a hands-on activity, worship songs, and a prayer. Choose one lesson to complete each week. If you want your child to complete all the lessons, continue them throughout the year rather than only during the traditional school calendar.​ If Trueway Kids isn’t a fit for your family, check out Free Bible Curriculum for other options.

Read Alouds: Literature, Science, and History

Reading to your child every day is important, especially as they are learning to read. It will help increase their interest in reading, model good reading skills, improve their vocabulary, and introduce them to new concepts. I suggest choosing classic children’s literature, poetry, Bible stories, and books that introduce basic concepts in science and history. You can borrow books from your local library or use free ebooks and audiobooks available online.

Here are some books available to read for free in the public domain to get you started:

• The Real Mother Goose: Junior Addition
• A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson
• The Burgess Animal Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess
• The Burgess Bird Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess

Life Skills

The Keepers Program was originally developed for use in clubs, similar to scouting, but also works well in homeschools. The downloadable Little Keepers Handbook is for girls ages 4 to 6, and the Little Contenders Handbook is for boys ages 4 to 6. Each week, choose a skill or project from one of the books to work on. You’ll find Bible study, manners, chores, cooking, money sense, yard work, sewing, crafts, nature study, and much more. For a more well-rounded life skills education, I would recommend choosing some skills from the boys’ book for girls and vice versa. Also, unless your child is already able to write well, I wouldn’t require him or her to fill in the pages of the handbook. Instead, simply discuss the project or ask your kindergartener to draw a picture that shows what he or she learned.

Physical Education and Recess

Rather than following a set curriculum, simply allow your child plenty of free time for active play. When the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor play, consider using some of these dance and exercise videos on YouTube. If you prefer to use a formal curriculum for physical education, see Free Health & PE Curriculum for options.

Other Grades

I hope this free kindergarten homeschool curriculum has been helpful. When your child finishes kindergarten, we have a similar curriculum guide for first grade. If you’re looking for guides for other grades, you can find them on our Free Christian Homeschool Curriculum page.
