My 5 Favorite Bible School Links
Any Bible school teacher who is responsible for teaching a class of squirmy children needs all the resources she can find. Unfortunately, not all teachers have access to a “resource room” full of ideas. The good news is that the internet is full of ideas. That is really good news for moms like me who want to teach but don’t have loads of time to devote to coming up with everything from scratch. Today, I wanted to give you some of my go-to Bible school links and give a brief explanation of each one.
On to the links!
- Bible Fun for Kids is written by Debbie Jackson. This is one of my favorites. Debbie’s lessons are packed full of printables. The great thing about this blog is that Debbie’s lessons are “complete.” She tells the Bible story and includes pictures. Then, there is always a worksheet, chart, game, or activity to print. I have always thought that a Bible school teacher who is a member of a congregation who couldn’t afford an entire curriculum could use Debbie’s blog and have a good start at teaching her students chronologically through the Bible. She even has lessons about Paul’s letters, which, let me tell you, is almost unheard of – even with a bought curriculum.
- Free Bible Images is a website where you can print, well, free Bible images! These are beautiful pictures, and I love that the images include a brief script that corresponds to each picture. In fact, I have used these images to make flip charts for our teachers at our congregation. This site is very well organized, and it is very user-friendly. You can search by Bible book or by Bible character. There are illustrations for roughly 250 Bible lessons on this site. It is well worth your time.
- Apologetics Press has an enormous amount of material. Not only do you have full access to all of the articles of past Discovery Magazine for Kids, but they have also been hard at work preparing a 4-year Bible school program. The online curriculum comes with complete lesson plans and links to their own activity pages and also correlates with the beloved Discovery articles. This one is great. Just look for the “Bible School Curriculum” tab. There is an outline of all the lessons, and you should be able to go from there. [Note: The Bible School Curriculum area of their site requires sign-in, but it is free.]
- Mission Arlington. I wanted to include this site because I have always loved the hands-on ideas on the “Learning Activity” section of their lessons. Sometimes it is as simple as “bring animal cookies,” but if you’re like me, sometimes you need just a little creative reminder.
- Pinterest. Almost anyone who is reading this knows that Pinterest has countless ideas. I like Pinterest for the craft ideas. I also like that Pinterest allows you to share boards, so that all the teachers of your congregation can add items to the same board. I am in the process of rearranging my Pinterest boards, and you can follow me here.
* I do want to be clear that just because I recommend a website, I don’t necessarily endorse everything on that website. I am assuming that each teacher is consulting her Bible first.
These are my favorite websites for Bible school, and I hope they will help you feel more prepared to teach your children!
