About Us
The Ten Must Know Bible Stories project began when St Columba’s Church in Aberdeen collaborated with 7 local schools to rethink how Christianity is taught as part of the RME curriculum. Combining their experience and expertise has resulted in a suite of resources which promote active and outdoor learning, embed RME across the curriculum and encourage children to discover Christian belief for themselves as they explore 10 Bible Stories.
The Ten Must Know Bible Stories project now partners with the Scottish Bible Society and links to their Bibleworld PowerPoints of images for each story can be found throughout the resources. These PowerPoints can be downloaded for free and provide a valuable resource for storytelling and for other activities; for example sequencing pictures from the story.
Resources
On this website there are high quality, tried and tested resources to explore ten Bible stories at first and second level. The resources are all free to download.
The resources are designed to:
All the resources reflect the Scottish Government’s legislation and guidance on RME in school.
As well as providing resources the 10 Must Know Bible Stories Project offers training sessions for schools or chaplains. These training sessions will increase participants knowledge of a Bible story and increase participant confidence in helping children to explore the story.

Ideas and resources to develop learning across the curriculum
“We became far more aware of the power of these stories to take us into other areas of the curriculum which made them more real to the lives of our pupils.”
