Quarterly Lesson Videos and Guides
Available for preschool – upper elementary classes, these 3–4 minute video segments show children living out their faith in everyday life! Each month features a video that highlights the monthly theme.
The Video Connection Guide helps teachers connect the video and monthly theme to each lesson.
No matter when your family sits down to share God’s Word, it is a beautiful and sacred time to experience together. Use the Family Devotion Guides on their own or with our lesson video alongside it to help your family grow and learn together.

How will I use the videos in the lessons?
Bible-in-Life Kids is excited to feature this in-class resource to inspire kids as they walk their journey of faith. Just look for the video icon in the pages of the Teacher’s Guide to see where the video segment can be used in conjunction with the weekly lesson. Here is what we suggest:
Right before Step Two, the video is designed to introduce each unit theme. The video for each monthly theme can be repeated each week as the theme is introduced and continues to impress on kid’s hearts the focus of the lesson. Use it each week or as you it works for your lesson plans. The online video connections help introduce the video and connect it to each lesson
As with many Bible-in-Life features, the videos are optional. Our goal with this visual resource is to weekly remind kids of the big picture God theme and how it connects in everyday life.
Scripture Videos
Free scripture video resources through David C Cook ended Oct 31st, 2022.
Incorporating music lyric videos into the teaching of God’s Word encourages verse memorization and worship through song and motion.
We recommend Seeds Family Worship as a trusted source for quality, scripture-based music that pairs perfectly with any curriculum.
Once on their website, simply type the scripture reference of the lesson or quarterly theme into the site search tool. Song options should be available for many of the verses in your quarterly lessons.
