What is Bibletime?
Bibletime is written, designed, edited, and published by BES UK (Bible Educational Services). It is distributed in printed copies by Postal Bible Schools to children and young people around the world. It can also be downloaded from this website FREE of charge.
Bibletime is a monthly course of fun-filled activity sheets designed to help learners engage with the Bible. It can be completed individually or in a group setting. It is available in 5 levels with a suggested reading age* for each level (see below). The 3-year syllabus is divided into A, B and C Series and is pitched equally throughout. Each Series combines Bible teaching from both the Old and New Testaments. The aim is to complete one A4 booklet per month. Generally, the booklets contain the same story across the levels to make it easier to teach a mixed ability class.

There’s a FREE Teacher Lesson Plan for every lesson!
We provide a full A4 page with Learning Intentions: how to introduce the lesson, teach the main points, help the children learn the Key Verse and review what they have been taught. There are also FREE downloadable links to Free Bible Images for every story in the Appendices.
How do I get Bibletime and much does it cost?
It can be downloaded here FREE of charge. It is available to schools and home students FREE of charge from a Postal Bible School (PBS). Click here to find your nearest PBS or Contact Us. A small charge per booklet is levied on churches and clubs/organisations in the UK and Ireland to help towards the cost of professional printing by BES (UK), which is a faith-based non-profit charity.
