These lessons are free for everyone, start to finish. Read them online or download the PDFs and teach them this Sunday. No account, no email address, no catch.
Every free lesson is exactly what members get: a Teacher Guide with a 45-minute class plan, the Bible story told for Preschool, K–2nd, 3rd–4th and 5th–6th grade, discussion questions, activities, a hands-on section, a printable activity sheet and a take-home page for families. And like every Teach Them Jesus lesson, each one points to Jesus.

Questions about the free lessons
Are these Bible lessons really free?
Yes. You can read every part of these lessons on the website and download all of the PDFs without an account. There’s no trial period and nothing to cancel.
What ages are the free lessons for?
Preschool through 6th grade. Each lesson has four versions, for Preschool, K–2nd, 3rd–4th and 5th–6th grade, plus one Teacher Guide, so you can teach mixed ages from the same Bible story.
Can I print copies for my whole class?
Yes. Print as many copies of the activity sheets and take-home pages as your class, homeschool or family needs.
Why does the seasonal free lesson change?
Each season, one lesson from our seasonal sets is free, such as a Thanksgiving lesson in November and a Christmas lesson in December. When the season moves on, a new lesson takes its place. The lessons marked “Free all year” stay free.
