What if Jesus could teach your kids?
He can...through you!
Jesus was the master at using creative objects—like coins, fish, and lilies—to connect eternal truths to everyday life.
With Hands-On Bible Curriculum, kids experience the same powerful connections between Scripture and everyday life by engaging all five of their senses. The Bible comes alive!
The Hands-On Bible Curriculum Impact
“ I love when we do an activity and the kids say something about how it connects to the topic we have been studying. It makes me realize that they are looking for and making connections that they will take into their own circumstances. ”
Creative Gizmos Help Your Volunteers Teach Like Jesus
What’s a gizmo, you might ask? Gizmos are fun, interesting objects that help kids discover God’s truths in unforgettable ways.
They help kids retain 90% of what they’re taught! Kids will remember what they learned weeks, months, and years later because they truly experienced the lesson!

Getting Started
Engaging activities get kids’ attention from the moment they arrive! Age-appropriate welcoming activities create a hands-on learning environment as soon as they walk in the door.
Bible Learning
