Easy-to-Teach Bible Lessons for a Big Range of Ages Together!
 
Leading children closer to Jesus can be challenging—even more so when you have a mix of ages in the same room! What do you do?
 
The 13 Very series is here for you!
 
Each book in the series contains 13 very easy and engaging sessions that focus on one key Bible truth. Kids will discover it, think about it, talk about it, pray about it, and apply what they learn. Each session is

• Low-prep—light on supplies and easy to lead on short notice
• Flexible—sessions work for 1 or 2 kids, 12 kids, or more
• Multi-aged—designed to work for all elementary levels
• Right-sized—45 minutes of fun with time stretchers to fill an hour
• Ready-to-go—Just add an adult or a teenage leader—no training necessary

 
Perfect for any children’s ministry opportunity—for Sunday school, children’s church, small groups, and more!

Help kids discover the faith-building, life-changing truths tucked into the stories of 13 animals that God created. They will see how God used some thirsty camels, low-flying quail, a talking donkey, and more. Along the way, kids will be assured that God knows them and loves them—and is ready to use them in big ways too!
 
Written by Mikal Keefer, a trusted children’s ministry worker who’s created a towering stack of books and resources and loves inventing new ways to help kids engage with God’s big story.
