Explore the Bible: Kids is a book-by-book study that encourages kids to dig deep into Scripture. In every study, kids explore the people, places and objects of the Bible in a historical context, but they also discover ways to compare them to modern-day life.
During each session, adults and students study the same passage of Scripture while kids study the same concept within the same book, incorporating narrative elements throughout the Bible for a rich, kid-friendly lesson.
Explore the Bible is the first resource of its kind to join every age group in a book-by-book Bible study—but there are a few other facts that you may find interesting.
1. Kids see modern-day life connect with the Bible in weekly videos.
Each session features an engaging, host-driven introduction video, which helps leaders jumpstart the study and captures kids' interest for digging deeper into the Bible.
Each video is filmed on location with an emphasis on adding an element of discovery and illustrating the week's truth from Scripture.
Videos are 5-7 minutes, optional in the lesson and unique each week. Some of the videos on location from previous lessons include: a recording studio, gem mining, a fire station, a printing factory and a butterfly sanctuary.
2. Kids explore the Bible through object-based studies.
Each session of Explore the Bible: Kids uses object-based learning to help kids dig deep. This helps kids learn about different stories of the Bible from a rich, historical context and then compare them to modern-day life.
