I’ve been so excited to be working through the new timelines from Grapevine Studies! They’ve recently put out Old Testament and New Testament timeline studies and I think it’s going to be so beneficial as we move forward through their other studies.
Once we get the timeline studies done it will be much easier to see when events occurred as we do other individual studies they offer.
The kids are really loving this study, and I always draw my version up on the board as we go so they have some reference to help them out. Thankfully the Teacher’s Manual shows me what to draw or I’d be lost!
Here is one of Strawberry Shortcake’s New Testament pages.
The Grapevine studies also come with a full color version which we decided to put up on our wall for an easy guide. As we go through the study I add that page to our timeline. I am running out of wall space but I think it’s worth it!

What’s Included?
They have Old Testament and New Testament Wall Timelines, plus teacher notes for instruction. Grapevine also offers blank timelines (both in color and black/white) if you want to color in your own figures as well.
If you’re planning to do one of these levels you’ll want to purchase the Old Testament Timeline Student Book and Teacher Book. The Student Book includes blank timeline pages for students to fill in and the Teacher’s Book includes instruction for each Biblical event. It’s a great way to see the chronology of the Bible all in one spot.
The timelines move fairly quickly as well, they’re really just overview information for each event in history, then as you add in your other more specific studies such as Joseph, Ruth, Esther, Birth of Jesus, etc. You can see exactly where they fit in history.

We are fresh home schoolers…just yanked them …all 3….and now am starting the homeschool journey. We are also starting our walk with the Lord….though raised Catholic and have been going to church….Gods word was not part of our life. We weren’t raised to know the bible but rather to have it fed to us by the priest. A friend invited me to her church and I was amazed. I wanted what they had….and I still can’t describe what “it” is…I really feel as though we were just chugging along but now I feel I have a mission…to bring this family to Jesus. I don’t know the first thing about how to teach the kids about any of this so I would love to win the Grapevine study….and if I don’t I’ll just have to get it!! We started a bible study in the morning but it isn’t an explanation of the bible really but more of how to deal with daily issues….it’s a small step but at least it’s in the right direction! Anyway…rambling…love your website it’s a great help to me!!
Thanks for all your great give-aways! This would be wonderful to win!

We would love to win this as it would be a great addition to our homeschool curriculum.
