Children’s Bible Studies

These lessons present the stories of women in the Bible in a simple, clear way that children can understand.

No complicated preparation is needed. Just open the lesson, read aloud, ask questions, and talk together as you go. Each study is designed for you to guide a child step by step helping them listen, think, and respond

What each lesson includes

Every study is broken into small parts so children can follow along without feeling overwhelmed.

Each lesson includes:

  • A short story written in simple language
  • One clear truth to focus on
  • Questions to help children think and respond
  • A few simple activities you can choose from

You can go through one lesson at a time or spread them across several days.

Who these lessons are for

These studies can be used in different ways depending on your setting.

They are helpful for:

  • Parents teaching their children at home
  • Teachers leading small groups or classes
  • Anyone who wants to guide a child through Bible stories

You can read the story out loud, pause when needed, and allow the child to ask questions or share their thoughts. Some children will want to talk more. Others may take time before responding. Both are part of the learning process.

The goal is not to complete the lesson quickly, but to help the child understand and grow.
