Welcome to Big Bible Words, a children’s ministry teaching resource designed to help kids understand the hard words in the Bible. This 8-lesson series is packed with attention-keeping activities and fun games to help make complicated truths simple for children. With engaging lesson plans and materials, Big Bible Words is the perfect way to introduce kids to God’s Word.
The Bible is full of BIG words that can seem really intimidating to kids (and let’s face it, to adults to). So, instead of skipping over them, Big Bible Words introduces those words and helps kids to make these words a part of their everyday vocabulary. In these 8 lessons, children will come face to face with words like election, faith, regeneration, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance, and glorification, and will see what all these words have to do with salvation. They’ll grow in their understanding of the work of salvation that Jesus did and see salvation as the gift that it is. With 60-90 minutes of teaching materials, these lessons are perfect to use for Sunday School, Children’s Church, mid-week discipleship times, or even as a pre or post baptism class. The 8-week format makes them perfect for summertime when you may choose to have a break in your regular teaching schedule.
So often, the hardest part of learning about God is understanding all the big words used to describe Him. But with Big Bible Words, kids will have a blast learning about some of the biggest and most impressive words in the Bible. From “salvation” to “sanctification,” this series makes it easy for kids to understand and remember the truths of God’s Word.

Along with a focus on the BIG words of the Bible, these lessons also include games and activities to help kids learn the books of the Bible. The idea behind combining these themes is that the more familiar kids are with the Bible itself, the more time they’ll spend in the Bible, leading to a greater understanding of God’s word (including the BIG words used to explain salvation). Plus, there are worksheets for each of the big words that can be sent home or used as time filler if needed.
