How Hands-On Bible Curriculum Is Different

The Bible gives us lots of examples of how Jesus did it 2,000 years ago. He used everyday objects like coins, fish, and plants to help people remember the truths he shared with them.

Hands-On Bible Curriculum does the same thing. We call them "gizmos," and they serve the same purpose: to help kids understand important Bible truths. It worked for Jesus, and it still works today.

It's guaranteed to work. Time after time, kids are able to remember what they learned weeks, months, and even years later. Since they experience what they're learning, it sticks longer.

Hands-On Bible Curriculum was also voted "easiest to teach" in a national poll of children's ministry leaders. With step-by-step teacher guides, gizmo-packed Learning Labs, music, and lots of extras, it helps your volunteers make the greatest impact with the least amount of work.
