Primary (grades 1-2)

First and second graders are at an ideal age to learn Scriptural truths through the stories of the Bible. With our Bible Flash-a-Cards and Teacher Guides, the primary teacher can effectively present a fresh, lively Bible lesson each week. The easy-to-use teaching plans include familiar hymns, choruses, and memory verses, as well as helpful teaching tips and ideas for classroom management.

Each week, the children follow the adventures of the “Primary Friends” in colorful activity sheets and take-home papers, where they learn to apply Bible principles in their daily lives. These materials reinforce the Bible lesson with character-building stories, simple crafts, and other age-appropriate activities designed for beginning readers and for sharing with parents.
