Mission Explorers Streaming Video
http://www.kidstalkaboutgod.net/Home/MissionExplorers/tabid/64/Default.aspx

Imagine how incredible it would be if, instead of reading about missions and the courageous people who share the gospel in foreign countries, you could actually take your students on an amazing video journey spanning four continents to visit these far-away places! There, they would experience what it would be like to live among the Fiji islanders or to visit a remote village in the heart of Africa. As a Christian educator, you can take your students on such an extraordinary expedition - without ever leaving your classroom!

                                           

The Mission Explorers Streaming Video series is designed to show missions through the eyes and experience of the winner of the Children’s Bible Contest, 11-year-old Hillary Welborn. Although the streaming video series is itself great missions curriculum, we also offer the series on DVD with written curriculum. We can email you a free sample of this 13-lesson series (click here for free sample Mission Explorers Curriculum Lesson).

The video is currently available in its entirety, streaming on this website (click here to view), or on DVD with 13-lesson printable curriculum. Online viewing is always free. No registration required.

Kids Color Me Bible
http://www.kidstalkaboutgod.net/Home/KidsColorMeBible/tabid/190/Default.aspx

The Kids Color Me Bible is a printable online book. Each interactive chapter begins with a Bible story illustrated by a child artist, followed by a related question and several of the most interesting answers from kids. There’s also a space for children to write their own answers to the featured question. After the fun, upbeat commentary by Carey Kinsolving, we’ve included a newspaper-style page called Heaven Herald. We’ve dedicated this full page for children to draw their own pictures below a headline of the featured Bible story. Children can sign their names and ages at the bottom of this page.

This innovative new book is jam-packed with excellent material that can be used for classroom activities, devotionals, art projects or assignments. After children have completed several chapters, they can assemble them into their very own book. This will be something they can take home, and parents will treasure it as a keepsake.

Arts Festivals

Children gain confidence when they see their art and writing featured in a live event in which parents and relatives see childlike faith in action. Let children become the subject of ministry instead of the object by empowering and equipping them to share their faith. All art gathered in festivals is eligible for publication in the Kids Talk About God Online Art Gallery.

Kids’ Christmas Arts Festival

“When I look up at the stars I see
a big star, and then it reminds
me of Jesus.” – Jed, age 7

Christmas is a favorite time of year for many children. Their enthusiasm and inspiration make it a great season to encourage them to draw and write about Jesus. Their work is sure to provide many touching reminders of what Christmas is really about.

Mother’s Day Arts Festival

“The Lord loves me so he made a person of love
and faith to tackle the job of me, and that is
my mom.” – Erica, age 7

 

There's no better Mother's Day activity than to create a forum for children to draw and write about their mothers. This is one of the most powerful festival themes because children speak from the heart about their moms. Adults and children will laugh and perhaps shed tears when they hear and see what children have said about their moms. In a previous festival a young boy said he loved his mom so much he would die for her. No one doubted his sincerity. This provided a great opportunity for the gospel to go forth effectively.

Custom Arts Festival

"Yellow dogs are in heaven because the streets are
made of gold. They are both yellow." - John, age 6

Choose your own subject or holiday. The Bible is full of great subjects, such as heaven, angels, children in the Bible, creation, and so on. Or you may want to have a festival for Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Presidents’ Day, Thanksgiving or Easter, for example. You could even choose a current event as the focus. Get creative, and encourage kids to show through their writing and drawing what God and the Bible have to do with your festival’s subject.
