Teaching our children about God and His Word is the most important thing we can do in our home and homeschool. Having great Bible teaching resources helps me to be more intentional in that effort and dig deeper into Scripture with my kids. Bible Road Trip™ has been my favorite for years! It is a fantastic homeschool Bible curriculum for all ages.

Why Use a Bible Curriculum?
One of my favorite things about being a mom is to be able to teach my children about God and His Word. Every day provides amazing opportunities to point to Jesus, learn the scripture, and grow together as the Lord continues to shape us into the image of Christ.
Having a resource like Bible Road Trip™ has helped me to make family devotions a regular part of our day. In that way, it’s great for any family whether you homeschool or not and can serve as a backbone for intentional discipleship in your home.
We also benefit from the additional activities, studies, and notebooking journals that our children do as a part of the homeschool day. As my kids get older, they do more in-depth work with Bible Road Trip™. Every time we cycle through the three years, they gain a deeper level of knowledge and understanding.
The foundation is always to read the Scripture together and discuss it. And if you’re just getting into the habit of family devotions, that’s where I recommend you start! Bible Road Trip™ can give you a guide for that and provide additional activities and resources when you’re ready to take it up a notch.
How does Bible Road Trip™ Work?
3-Year Cycle – If you take it straight through, Bible Road Trip™ is designed to help your family go through a survey of the Bible in three years with breaks for summer. During the course of their school years, you can go through the Bible three times, each time digging a little deeper and exploring a bit more.
Family Devotions – Bible Road Trip™ is a resource that you’ll use as a family to read and discuss Scripture together. You can read the Scripture aloud and discuss, or you and your older students can read it independently and discuss. As you go through it, you’ll study overarching themes of Scripture:
- Who God is
- Our fallen nature
- God’s sovereignty
- God’s plan for salvation through Christ
- Our relationship with God
Pre-k Through 12th Grade – Bible Road Trip™ is designed for all ages, Pre-k through 12th grade. For high school, you can use Bible Road Trip™ for a high school credit as well. There are five different levels of learning.
- Lower Grammar (Grades 1-3)
- Upper Grammar (Grades 4-6)
- Dialectic (Grades 7-9)
- Rhetoric (Grades 10-12)
- High School Students can keep their own journals, or they can use the Dialectic level.
For each level, you’ll have additional activities appropriate for each stage. For example, the youngest students will do fun crafts while the oldest students will do projects and research papers.
You’ll also find the following:
- Introduction each week about the portion of Scripture being studied
- Scripture memory cards
- Fun crafts & activities
- Recommended videos and books
- Praying for the nations activity
- Suggestions for further study
- Projects & research papers for older students
Notebooking Journals
There are optional but excellent Notebooking Journals that can be purchased to go along with the Bible Road Trip Lessons. They are available for grades 1 – 9 (older students can make their own or use the Dialectic level notebooks). These are especially helpful for homeschooling.
We really like using notebooking in our homeschool for all the things it helps us teach:
- Comprehension
- Pre-composition skills
- Research skills
- Handwriting practice
- And they retain what they learned better!
There are three levels available: Lower Grammar (Grades 1-3), Upper Grammar (Grades 4-6) and Dialectic (Grades 10-12). There are journals for each level to correspond with all three years of the Bible Road Trip.
Your kids will do Scripture copywork, draw and write notes about the passage being studied, pray for the nations, and more.
Notebooking Journals for more in-depth learning, especially helpful for homeschooling.
Teach your kids the basics of the Christian faith with Sound Words for Kids: Lessons in Theology! Your children will learn what the Bible says about important topics such as God, creation, and salvation. Includes scripture memory, notebooking, activities, coloring pages, discussion questions, and more!
How We Use Bible Road Trip
Bible Road Trip is what I call a “buffet curriculum.” It has MANY resources and activities you can do, but you don’t have to do them all.
Every day, we do the Bible reading and discussion. If nothing else happens (which is a thing) at least this happens. Over time, we’ve added these layers to the learning.
- Once a week or so, I try to do one of the additional activities (movie, craft, book, etc.) with the younger kids. I don’t worry about it if it just doesn’t happen.
- We use the Scripture memory cards for our family and individual student memory work, but don’t keep on schedule.
- Most weeks, we work in a day or two of the Notebooking Journals for our kids grades 3 and up.
- My new high schooler has started doing some of the extra reading, writing, and research projects.
Really, Bible Road Trip is easily adjusted to work with your family’s goals and needs. It is also easy to adapt for multiple ages and grade levels, which this mama of many finds extremely helpful!

17 Dec 2016Just started homeschooling my Kindergartner and preschoolers… looks like an easy way to get new ideas for bible study.
Jeannie
19 Dec 2016I love bible road trip. We have been using it in our homeschool for almost a year now for my little one. Not only has she learned but I have learned so much.

20 Dec 2016My kids are 9 and 10.

2 Jan 2018What would be most interesting to me about using the Bible Road Trip curriculum is learning to dig deeper through God’s word and learn things we don’t know. I love learning, and so do my children, and I really would love to learn more about God’s word with a curriculum already done, as I’m terrible at organizing. haha
(And I love that there is a KJV option as well, because there aren’t very many Bible studies that I’ve found that use the KJV.)
Jennifer C
2 Jan 2018I think it is great that this works on different levels for the whole family.
Ashli
2 Jan 2018I’ve had a hard time finding a Bible curriculum that is doable for our family AND interests my kids. I’ve heard good things about this one, and I like you can do multiple levels all at once.
Karen
2 Jan 2018I like that this curriculum covers more of the Bible than most. I also like the research aspect of it. The notebooking journals look like they would be a good fit for us.
Melissa Lynch
2 Jan 2018I love having an age-appropriate road map to the Bible for my girls! I want them to love the word, so I want to teach it to them in a way that they understand (not too dumbed-down and not over their head).
Stephanie
2 Jan 2018I’m excited to find a Bible curriculum that I can use with all my kids and not feel it’s too easy or hard for certain ones. I have 3rd-12th graders in our house. Hoping it could be a tool to use together.
Yvonne Delgado
2 Jan 2018I have 3 children still at home homeschooling, ages 15, 13, 10. I like that the curriculum will cover the entire bible and focuses on overarching themes in the bible

2 Jan 2018HI, our children will be 5 and 7 and I have been looking into this for our oldest, who’s so literal, but with big feelings. I love that this works for a huge range of ages!

2 Jan 2018I’ve been looking at this for a couple of years. My kids are finally getting old enough that I’m willing to try it out with them. I love how it is structured, not just a hodgepodge of materials!

ChrisW
4 Jan 2018My daughter and I have been studying the bible for several years but haven’t followed any curriculum. I think it is time that we had some guidance and worked our way through more systematically. I’ve checked this out several times and I’m very interested in trying it.
Rachael
6 Jan 2018Does the curriculum for Year 1 come with the notebooking journals and Bible verses for children too? I wasn’t sure what the curriculum actually included from the website. Thanks.
Tauna Meyer
7 Jan 2018The curriculum year 1 includes activities in the main curriculum document. The notebooking journals and Bible verse cards are sold separately. 🙂

7 Jan 2018I would love to have the chance to do more Bible studies with my 16 year old and 10 year old together. This looks like it fits the bill.
Melissa
7 Jan 2018I appreciate the systematic approach to the Bible as well as.extended discussion for different ages. My 7 and 9 year olds process information much differently.
Grace
7 Jan 2018I like that it is a 3-yr curriculum that covers the whole Bible in depth for all ages–you can use it again and as children grow, they can dive deeper into the Bible and learn new things.
Lynn Bolin
8 Jan 2018It’d be nice to have some directions & actives.
Brittany
8 Jan 2018I’ve been looking for something we can do with all of our girls together at their different ages, and this looks great! I love that it works its way all through the Bible!
Dandi D
9 Jan 2018I really like that this curriculum is for all ages and your child can go through the Bible 5 times throughout the curriculum.
Michelle
10 Jan 2018I love that you can start in preschool and use the same curriculum all the way through High School! Love love love programs that can be used multiple times at a higher level! I have three kiddos and the idea of using 1 bible program for all of them at the same time is very appealing!
Sarah
10 Jan 2018I have 5 kiddos ages 7 down to 3months. Super excited to be able to use this all together.
Holly
12 Jan 2018Part of the reason I homeschool is to use the Bible and have Bible class. I’ve been looking at this Bible program for some time now.
Vicky
13 Jan 2018It would be awesome that by the time my twins start this in preschool, they would’ve read the Bible through 5 times in highschool!!!
Lee Sullivan
13 Jan 2018My husband and I are about to move to Dominican Republic to run a children’s home. There are 15 children ranging in age from 5-15. We are looking for ways to implement more bible study into their day and this looks amazing.

19 Jan 2018We value God’s word and being taught his truth, so the Voice of Truth is in our heads every day of every week of every month of every year. Winning this would mean the world to us!
Sara Hollar
21 Jan 2018Awesome! Thank you! My boys are 5, 3 & 1. I love the idea that if I started now, and, Lord willing, continued this through high school, they could study the Bible in depth 4 times before they leave our home! Amazing!
Tracy
21 Jan 2018I love that the curriculum can be used by different ages. Very few programs can make this claim @nd really keep everyone engaged $
