Interactive Bible stories, built for every kind of mind

Free, read-aloud Bible stories where kids make the choices, then find out what really happened. Made to be gentle on the eyes and welcoming to every kind of mind.

How a story works

Four small steps, one big story

  1. 1Pick a storyForty Bible stories, from Creation to Pentecost. Each takes about 4 to 10 minutes.
  2. 2Be someone in it“Now YOU are Samuel!” Kids sit in a character’s place: a sailor, a shepherd, a king.
  3. 3Choose, then see what happenedNo wrong answers. Kids find out what the Bible says, and spot a trait like courage or kindness.
  4. 4Look at it a new wayA few times a story, kids pick a way of knowing and see what it shows and what it can miss.
Built on Theory of Knowledge

8 ways of knowing

Seeing, remembering, thinking it through, naming, feeling, trusting, imagining and gut feeling. Every way shows something, and every way can miss something. Kids learn that gently, one story at a time.

Made for every kind of reader

Calm by design

Every word read aloudEach word lights up as it’s read. Stop or replay any time.
Calm modeGentler words, no motion, and the scariest pictures left out.
No timers, no scoresNothing to lose and no streaks. Every child goes at their own pace.
One thing at a timeOne picture and one choice per page, the same layout every time.
No ads, no accountsNothing to buy and nothing collected. Progress stays on your device.
Works offlineAdd it to your home screen and every story works without the internet.

The typeface is Lexend, designed for easier reading, with a wider-letters switch on every page. Older kids (10 to 12) can switch to fuller wording.

Puzzles tooBible puzzles for every story: put it in order, I Spy, build a scene, word search and crossword. In a room of their own, the Storybook worlds: word puzzles with characters from classic public-domain books like Aesop’s Fables and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, clearly marked “not Bible stories.” Grown-ups can close that room.

Credits Bible quotations are from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which is in the public domain. Where the BSB prints God’s name in capitals (LORD), we write “Lord,” because young readers hear capitals as shouting. Story retellings are our own words; the full text lives on Free Scripture. Pictures are Microsoft’s Fluent 3D Emoji (MIT license). The typeface is Lexend (SIL Open Font License). The 8 ways of knowing come from the International Baccalaureate’s Theory of Knowledge course.
