Spanish Vacation Bible School Curriculum – Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones En Español

A reader sent me a great question asking about VBS programs in Spanish for their churches outreach to a Hispanic population in their town. I’ve done some checking and wanted to share what I’ve found with everyone.

Here was the question about VBS in Spanish:

Do you know if any of these are available in Spanish? I am from MN but work with kids and churches in Mexico. I feel that VBS packets are ideal to use for 1 week here or there as an evangelism tool to bring the kids in and get them interested! Not any churches that I’ve seen do this here but in from ones’ home it could be great for neighborhood groups!

Unfortunately, I could only find a three vacation Bible school publishers making Spanish language resources available. But the good news is that they are two of the best.

You could also use the free Spanish language Sunday School lessons from Wycliffe Bible Translators. These are designed for Sunday School, but could be adapted for use in a Spanish language Backyard Bible Club or VBS. Here’s the link to their lessons on prayer, look for the en espanol link. – “Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones En Español”

Spanish Language Edition VBS Curriculum

LifeWay has been publishing Spanish resources for their VBS for at least several years. They have these available on their website to order or you can special order them from any store that carries the LifeWay Vacation Bible school. Here is the link for Spanish Edition of LifeWay VBS.

Group Publishing is offering a bilingual Spanish/English edition of their Avalanche Ranch VBS program. This is not their current 2008 theme, so it might not appeal to churches who are doing PowerLab VBS. But if you plan a combined Spanish and English vacation Bible school program this should meet your needs. Here is the link for the Spanish/English Bilingual edition of Group’s Avalanche Ranch VBS.

Concordia Publishing House offers a good selection of Spanish language VBS and Sunday school products. Here is the link for the Spanish and Multicultural curriculum from Concordia. Here is the reader tip and recommendation:

Concordia Publishing House publishes original Spanish and bilingual Vacation Bible School programs that are written by native speakers, not translations. They have five themes available, all of which are excellent for Spanish-speaking churches, outreach to the Latino community, or mission trips. The themes are Ambush, The Secret of the Chest, Hot Air Balloon on the Loose, Sea Odysseys, and Family Portraits.

Concordia also offers many other Spanish resources, including Sunday School and other children’s materials, theological commentaries and resource books, tracts, certificates, and more! The resources are very good and are faithful to the Bible.

El ministerio Niños deseando a Dios tiene unas programas de Escuelitas de Verano que son muy util. Usemos uno este verano pasado. Lo bueno con estos es que todo esta en formato digital.

Claire Craig July 7, 2011 at 12:45 pm: Can I take a look at your curriculum? We are planning to teach pastors in Mexico how to do children’s ministry.
