The class is named “Bibleodeon” as a reference to the fun kids’ channel, , which shows lots of cartoons with various characters and stories. The Bibleodeon curriculum introduces the Hebrew and Christian scriptures by presenting the best known Bible stories with fun plays and engaging games. Children enjoy acting out the stories where often the script is sprinkled with silly jokes.

Treasure hunts, writing your own proverbs, being detectives and trying to figure out who killed Abel, and watching video clips from Jesus Christ Superstar – it is a fun and engaging way to learn about the Bible. Every week there is a Mystery of the Day question like “Did Jesus really perform miracles?” These stories, important for cultural literacy and as stories we can learn from can seem magical, troubling, unworldly… lessons always include conversation about connections and/or disconnections between the messages of that particular story and UU principles, and our practice of being in covenantal relationship.
