Picture Smart Bible Curriculum

Picture Smart Bible Review from Cindy West at The Curriculum Choice

What a SMART Way to PICTURE the Entire Bible!

Do you have a visual learner?  How about an artist?  How about a linguistic learner?  Kinesthetic, maybe?  One who likes to make ordered lists in his or her mind?

Well, parents of all kinds of learners are in luck!  The Picture Smart Bible curriculum meets so many learning styles and works for all ages – even adults.

What is the Picture Smart Bible?

The short answer: The Picture Smart Bible is a coloring book of every single books of the Bible that helps your children see the entire theme and important points of each book from Genesis to Revelation.

Picture Smart Bible Curriculum Review from Cindy West at The Curriculum Choice

The longer answer:

  • For each book of the Bible, there is a coloring page on which your children draw, label and color bits and pieces of the book’s theme.
  • The parent has a Bible reading guide with directions about what your children should discuss and complete on their coloring page.
  • You have the freedom to do as much or little of a lesson as you like in one sitting.
  • It’s non-denominational in nature – just the facts.
  • It uses the pictures to tie entire books of the Bible together into a beautiful understanding of the book’s purpose and main points.
  • You end up with a personalized notebook that serves as a quick review of the entire Bible.

Picture Smart Bible Review from Cindy West at The Curriclum Choice

In the teacher’s guide, there are tracing pictures with blanks to fill in key words that you use with older children.  Younger children, like my six-year-old, can be given the “answer page” that has all the blanks already filled in.  They simply color the parts you are discussing for the day.  While there is definitely something to be said for actually writing in the key words, little ones still get much understanding from the pictures.

Take a look at this video that gives you a fantastic overview of The Picture Smart Bible!

P.S.  I met Dan Peters, the creator of the program and highlighted in the video, at a homeschool convention a few years ago.  We were booth neighbors – and he was such a neat man!

The Picture Smart Bible curriculum comes in two volumes – Old Testament and New Testament – that can be purchased as a set or one at a time.  The curriculum comes as a PDF download, a printable CD or a hole-punched set of pre-printed pages that you put in a binder.

Can’t guess my thoughts?  This is a VERY cool curriculum that can be used with multi-ages and multiple learning styles and IT WORKS!

Cindy received a printed copy of The Picture Smart Bible in exchange for an honest review.  As always, all thoughts are her own.

    This looks wonderful! What a wonderful way to make biblical concepts more concrete. I’m homeschooling a preschool age child right now, so making the concepts concrete would really help her learning. I really want to win this.

    This would help us tremendously. We have been struggling to incorporate more Bible instruction into our day. This is our first year homeschooling and I have a 5th grader and one in 4k.

    This is what I wanted for our Bible curriculum… just couldn’t afford it. I think it would be so helpful as I have ages from first grade through high school, and I know they would all learn something! What a great way to cover all the books of the Bible!

    I think this would be wonderful for our homeschool. I took a look at a homeschool convention earlier this year but my child wasn’t ready for it yet (allergic to coloring). But since then, he’s developed a passion for coloring and drawing. I really love your product!

    I think the Picture Smart Bible could be a fantastic resource to use with my two very active boys! They enjoy learning about God, but I have been having a hard time making lessons that provide enough kinesthetic experience for them. Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

    I have 3 boys, 1 of whom calls himself an artist. When reading aloud, they need something to occupy their hands and because this isn’t mindless, even better!

    Great & right on time. Currently, I am homeschooling 7 children and 4 of them are currently learing the books of the Bible by coloring the name, but no facts. This would be a wonderful addition!

    My daughter loves to color and my son is a huge visual learner so I know they would both benefit from using the Picture Smart Bible. And then we could all share it with our youngest member of the family when he is old enough to enjoy it!

    I have three young girls who would benefit greatly from the Picture Smart Bible. It helps them to have something to do while I am reading a story, so I think they would enjoy this Bible curriculum.
