Middler (grades 3-4)

Our program for middle-elementary children allows a smooth transition from Primaries to Juniors. Third and fourth graders still love to hear the stories of the Bible, and they are eager to learn how to practice the principles of God's Word. Our Bible Flash-a-Cards and Teacher Guides capture the attention of boys and girls through exciting Bible narratives. Add the hymns, choruses, and memory verses provided with each weekly lesson, and you have a fun-filled and valuable learning experience.

Middlers enjoy the activity sheets and take-home papers that accompany each Bible lesson. Stories, word puzzles, and other activities review the lesson and teach children to apply Scriptural principles in their own lives. Daily Bible-reading guides and other features encourage them to study God's Word for themselves and promote Christian character.
