Short Bible stories and simple lessons for kids and families

---

Bible for Children is a website that shares many of the best known stories from the Bible in short plain language that is meant to be easy for children to read and follow. The site collects stories from both the Old Testament and the New Testament and places them so they are simple to find and to use. The stories are written so a child can read a single page and still get the main idea of what happened and why it mattered.

What you can find on the website

The website offers printed story files that you can download as PDFs and there are special pages for coloring books, audio files, phone friendly files, short tracts and videos. Many of the stories also link to the Bible passages so parents or teachers can read the original verses. This variety helps children who like pictures, children who like to listen, and children who like to read.

How the stories are arranged

Stories are listed in order and split into Old Testament tales and New Testament tales. You will see titles you already know like the story of Noah, the story of David, the story of Jesus and the first Easter. Each story page usually gives options to print, to hear, or to watch a short clip when available, so a teacher or parent can pick the best way for a child to learn that story.

Language choices and reach

One of the special things about Bible for Children is that the material has been made available in a very large number of languages. The home page notes that the site is available in more than one thousand languages, and it shows lists for both major languages and many other language options, which helps families around the world read the stories in the language they know best.

What the team believes

The group behind the website shares a clear statement of beliefs. They explain that they accept the Bible as the main guide for faith and morals, they describe the view of God as Father Son and Holy Spirit, and they outline beliefs about Jesus life death and return and about the meaning of salvation. These notes help visitors understand the viewpoint the site uses when it tells the stories.

Extra learning tools

The site includes extra materials such as a short booklet that tells the story from creation to the hope of heaven and there are twelve Bible lessons you can join called the Explorers Club where a child reads a lesson and sends answers to receive the next lesson. The booklet is a printed small book that shows a simple overview and can be requested in a press ready file for larger printing when needed. These tools are useful for families or small groups who want a simple lesson path that builds step by step.

Contact details and how the site works with visitors

The organization lists a postal address in Winnipeg Canada and an email address that people can use to ask questions or to tell the team which country and language they use. The privacy information explains that the apps themselves do not collect personal information and that newsletter subscriptions are handled with a double opt in that lets people unsubscribe anytime. The site also uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about visits so the team can learn how to improve the pages.

Gifts and donations

Bible for Children welcomes donations and notes that tax receipts are available only to donors in Canada and the United States. United States donors are given an option to give through a partner group so that a tax receipt can be issued. The site explains how donations help keep the stories free for families who cannot pay.

How you might use the stories

Teachers and parents can print a story to read in class or at home and then hand out a coloring sheet for practice. A child who is learning to read can listen to the audio while following the printed story, and then try the short lesson questions in the Explorers Club to test what they remember. The booklet can be handed out at an event and the press ready file is available if a large number of printed booklets is needed.
