The Hands-On Bible Curriculum Grades 1 & 2 Teacher Guide for Fall 2026 helps teachers lead first and second graders into a deeper relationship with Jesus through creative, age-appropriate lessons. This Teacher Guide offers step-by-step instructions, teacher background, and reproducible helps to support 13 lessons designed to run 30-60 minutes each. Lessons combine story time, hands-on activities, crafts, and games to engage kids and reinforce Bible truths.
Each lesson includes an at-a-glance overview, a supplies list, activity options, and preparation notes so teachers can plan with confidence. Background information helps teachers understand the Bible basis and prepares them to present the story in ways that connect to everyday life for 1st and 2nd graders.
The Hands-On Bible approach encourages experiential learning that fits the developmental stages of early elementary children and equips teachers with practical tools to make each session meaningful and memorable.
The Hands-On Bible Curriculum was created to help teachers lead kids into a deeper relationship with Jesus. This age-graded, quarterly curriculum helps children experience powerful connections between Scripture and everyday life by engaging all five of their senses. Lessons are built to be interactive, memorable, and easy for teachers to prepare and present.
Group Publishing specializes in creating experiences that bring children, youth, and adults into a closer relationship with Jesus. They are well-known for their VBS programs and Sunday school curriculum. R.E.A.L. is the filter Group uses to create all their resources and experiences. It's both a learning approach and a ministry approach. R.E.A.L. is:
Relational
Person-to-person interaction enhances spiritual growth and builds Christian friendships.
Experiential
What we experience through action and discussion sticks with us much longer than what we simply hear or read.
Applicable
The aim of Christian ministry is to equip people to be both hearers and doers of God's Word.
Lifelong
Experiences transform the heart, moving faith beyond the walls of church and into everyday life for years to come.
Designed specifically for first and second graders (Grades 1 & 2). Lessons are built to fit early elementary developmental stages using multisensory, experiential activities that help children connect Scripture to everyday life.
The guide contains 13 lessons designed for the Fall quarter. Each lesson is structured to run 30–60 minutes, with flexible activity options to fit your session length.
Each lesson includes an at-a-glance overview, supplies list, activity options, preparation notes, teacher background, step-by-step instructions, and reproducible helps to support story time, hands-on activities, crafts, and games.
