The lessons are posted out six months at a time. The only cost is of posting the answers back to KPBS. The marks that are obtained for each lesson are used to 'buy' items from the prize list. Marks are also gained, on a sliding scale, for the prompt return of lessons and their neatness.
All lessons can be completed by using any of the well known versions of the Bible. We currently have two types of courses available, Bibletime and Going Deeper.
Bibletime
Bibletime is an extensive course of weekly fun-filled, activity work sheets for pre-school children right up to the age of 16. It covers the majority of the main Bible stories from Creation through to the early Church. The course is split into 5 levels aimed at an approximate reading age. Each level consists of a starter series of 4 lessons, followed the main syllabus of 36 lessons split monthly over 3 years. Each lesson is subdivided into four stories or studies which can be completed weekly. The stories are taken from both the old and new testaments and cover basic Bible stories and major Bible characters.
