Has your small group ever finished a book and then drifted for three weeks deciding what to read next? Do you plan one session at a time because a whole term feels like a second job?
Small Group Study Curriculum builds the whole run at once. You describe the group, the topic and how long you have, and you get a session by session plan with the questions, the readings and the pacing already laid out.
Short answer: Small Group Study Curriculum is a free planning tool on EizTools that turns a topic and a timeframe into a full session by session study plan, with milestones, notes and alternative sessions built in.
What is Small Group Study Curriculum?
Small Group Study Curriculum is a curriculum planner for anyone leading a recurring group. Bible studies, book clubs, discipleship groups and adult education classes all work the same way: a topic, a fixed number of meetings, and someone deciding what happens in each one.
You give it that shape. It returns the plan as a timeline, a calendar, a table or structured sections, with each session carrying its own focus rather than one theme repeated eight times.
Why Use Small Group Study Curriculum?
What works well
- The whole term is visible at once, so repetition shows up before the group notices
- Buffer sessions are planned in, which saves you when a week gets cancelled
- Alternative sessions give you a backup when the group wants a different direction
- The format switch hands you a calendar or a table, whichever the group reads
What to watch for
- It plans structure, not doctrine. You still check every reference yourself
- A one line prompt gives you a generic term. The detail lives in what you type
- Very Detailed on a Quarter produces a long document you will trim
- It does not know your group, so pacing usually needs one human adjustment
How Does Small Group Study Curriculum Work?
Write your brief in the prompt box: the topic, who is in the group, how often you meet and anything the plan must include. Choose a model, open the advanced options if you want to steer the shape, then press Generate.
The plan lands in the result card, with a reading time that hints at how long the term document runs. Export it to Word for the printer, or copy it into a shared drive. Earlier attempts remain in the activity history for this session, so two term shapes can be weighed against each other.
Planning A Term Instead Of A Week
| Option | What it changes | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Timeframe | How long the curriculum runs, Day through Year, or Custom | Quarter, which is roughly a twelve week term |
| Detail Level | Overview gives session titles, Very Detailed gives full discussion questions | Detailed, enough to lead from without rewriting |
| Priority Focus | What the plan aims at, from Goals and Deadlines to Well-being | Balance for a mixed group, Goals for a study with an end point |
| Format | Timeline, Calendar, Table, Bullet List or Structured Sections | Table, which prints cleanly for handouts |
The Flexibility slider decides how tightly sessions are pinned to dates. Four toggles add milestones, buffer time, leader notes and alternative sessions. The custom instructions box is where you name the translation, the edition or the age range the plan must respect.
Important Check every scripture reference, page number and quotation against the source before you hand the plan out. The tool builds the shape of a term. It does not verify citations for you.
Common Mistakes
- Asking for a year when the group has never got past six weeks together
- Leaving buffer time off, then losing the plan to one cancelled evening
- Setting Very Detailed and then reading the notes aloud instead of leading
- Skipping the custom instructions, where group size and age actually matter
Nothing on EizTools sits behind a sign up form or a credit counter. There is no account to create, and you can switch model families per generation from the selector. When the term is set and you need to tell everyone about it, the Community Newsletter Draft handles the announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Small Group Study Curriculum plan a non religious group?
Yes. It works from whatever topic you give it, so book clubs and adult education classes get the same session by session structure.
How many sessions can it plan at once?
Set the Timeframe and the plan matches it. A Quarter covers about a term, a Year produces a long outline, and Custom lets you describe the exact number of meetings in your brief.
Does it write the discussion questions too?
At Detailed or Very Detailed it does. Overview returns session titles and focus lines only, which helps when you write the questions yourself but want the running order settled first.
Is Small Group Study Curriculum free to use?
Yes. No card, no trial and no upgrade prompt at the end. Plan a term, then plan a different one an hour later at no cost.
Leading a group is hard enough without deciding every week what happens next week. A term planned in one sitting gives everyone something to look forward to, and gives you your evenings back.
