Has Maycember taken over your house too? End of the year parties, programs, events, games, and more can overwhelm our calendars. But with summer just around the corner it\u2019s important to think about ways to keep our kids engaged with God\u2019s Word when all the school programs end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help! The GO Bible<\/a><\/em> can help your kids avoid the summer slump with fun and interactive ways to keep learning about God through his Word. We even have a new resource releasing this summer that will help keep kids off screens and have fun exploring the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factoids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are your kids fans of fun facts, \u201cDid You Know,\u201d or \u201cWeird But True\u201d? Factoids point out interesting, strange, fun, and engaging facts about the Bible your kids (or even your friends) might not know are there. You can play your own \u201cDid You Know\u201d game using just a few of the many Factoids found throughout the GO Bible<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interactive Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when reading the Bible, kids can get lost or bored and start to disengage. The GO Bible<\/a><\/em> was created to help kids know the Bible was written for them, too! First, it has the engaging New Living Translation text that helps kids not just read but also comprehend God\u2019s Word. In addition to the who, what, where, when, why, and how of each Bible book introduction, there is also a \u201cSeek and Find\u201d section with four important points to look out for in that book of the Bible. It\u2019s a way to keep kids\u2019 ears open and minds engaged while helping them learn how to study the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
