Children love puzzles, mysteries and codes! We can use that to our advantage as we teach Bible classes.

We can teach the Bible account using visuals that don’t “tell the whole story”. This  creates curiosity in the child’s mind. Curiosity results in the child being more absorbed in the lesson being presented. When the child is more engaged in the lesson material, they will remember more.

After all, we want them to remember as MUCH of God’s word as they can!

An example of how to use this visual is seen in this children’s Bible class video about Adam’s and Eve’s first sin. You may download a copy of the letters and embellishments below the video.
