WHO will want to use UpWord Kids?

UpWord Kids targets first through sixth graders, but you’ll find that mixed aged groups from 3 to 12 will love it. That’s why it’s the perfect resource to use in Kid's Church and Home Bible Study Groups where there are families
with children of all ages. It's so much fun! It can also be used as a mid-week program, after-school program, when parents are in special meetings or discipleship studies. It can be used for vacation Bible schools, chapel services, or anytime the church would like to provide biblical teaching instead of providing child care. In addition UpWord Kids is just the thing to help parents with family night devotionals. Parents want to teach the Word to their children but need the right tool to get and keep children’s attention.

WHY DVD curriculum?

Television is the most accepted media of information for all ages. Infants through Senior Adults are attracted to this medium.

WANT GOOD MUSIC – BUT DON’T HAVE A LEADER?

Few churches have the luxury of a full support staff. Most volunteers who are gifted in music and drama are needed in the adult services. Great Music DVDs with 7 music videos are provided in each series. Uncle Charlie and Rachel Sanchez are among the most sought-after kids worship leaders in the country! Groups of any size can easily follow the words and voices on the music DVDs. Children love to lead music. Choose a Praise and Worship Team and let them lead.

WANT PUPPET SKITS, BUT DON’T HAVE A PUPPET TEAM?

Puppet skits are included as an Introduction to the lesson and again following the Bible story for the application of the lesson. Many skits are interactive, giving the children the opportunity to see both the consequences and rewards of making right or wrong decisions. These are vital to take the Word from being just another story to applying the truth to their everyday, ordinary lives.

Did you know that 90% of what we teach is caught by what we don't say and not taught verbally?

When we tell children to play while parents are in Small Group Meetings, we are really telling them that it is NOT IMPORTANT for them to study the Word when they are kids.

Do you want to teach kids instead of just providing child care?

Most churches want to teach children in home Bible study time, but they don't have the "tools" to do it. UpWord Kids is that tool! Its so user-friendly that it requires NO PREPARATION TIME!

Do you have volunteers that would work with kids if they didn't have to spend hours of preparation?

UpWord Kids is the most user-friendly resource because it requires No Preparation Time. It is biblically sound and does not cross most doctrinal differences.
