Training for Kids
The Bible Navigators curriculum for kids includes a
three-repetition lesson plan for children each week.
Ideally kids will receive the same lesson three
times during the week—(a)
at church, (b) at home with parents and (c) the
trivia game.
1. At Church
Kids are given 10 facts the week
before the trivia game. The lesson is
usually given after the trivia game in
preparation for the next week's trivia game.
The trivia game is the motivator for kids to
devote bible knowledge to memory.

2. At Home
with the Parents
Parents are encouraged to engage the lesson plan
during the week. Along with each lesson
plan, parents receive a summary of the lesson
for that week and are encouraged to spend at
least 10 to 15 minutes talking about the lesson
during the week. This parental lesson time
is encouraged, but never required.
3. The Trivia Game
The trivia game is actually the third iteration
of the same lesson. As kids play to answer
the questions, they're actually repeating the
lesson a third time. The game and prizes
format motivates kids to apply themselves in a
more academic manner than they'd ordinarily be
willing to. The end result is more
motivated, disciplined and happier kids.
Our Success
With the right amount of encouragement and
motivation, teacher can motivate kids to learn heavy
topics such as basic biblical Greek! If you're
a teacher wishing you could push more depth into
your class, but were afraid of boring your kids,
Bible Navigators may be just the thing for you.
It's a System, not
just a Curriculum
Although free downloadable handouts are available
online, any creative teacher could develop their own
10-question lesson plan. In fact, we encourage
you to modify our handouts to suit your purposes.
Teachers are free reuse handouts and graphic images
in their own lesson plans. Although the
content of these handouts is copyrighted, we have
only done so only to prevent selling of this
material for profit. We currently do not
accept financial donations but encourage you to
support the ministries, such as
www.biblicaltraining.org, that we support.
