Fast Track Bible Pack by Wizzy Gizmo (Homeschool Mosaics Review)


Wizzy Gizmo – what a name!  It makes me think of moving parts and motion experiments.  Spinning tops and building things with little pieces – things that can only be explained by using the term “gizmo”.

But what is it really?  It’s a company created by parents, pastors, worship leaders, Sunday School teachers, and Homeschoolers who are committed to equipping children for life, by planting them firmly in God's Word.  They believe that, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”  (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)

You know I think it’s a great company and product if I come out of “review retirement” for it (pictures to come – blogging retirement has made me fuzzy on how to get them to post!).   I was provided a free FAST TRACK BIBLE PACK set by Wizzy Gizmo set in exchange for an honest review through the Homeschool Mosaics review program.  

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Fast Track Bible Pack contains 27 5” x 9” cards – one for each book of the New Testament.  The set also includes a summary card, which lists all the books in the New Testament along with basic info on each book (theme, author, when it was written, and how many chapters are in the book).  The cards are durable, on cardstock, and the set sells for $14.99.

The front of each card is an overview of a New Testament book and includes a summary, the book’s major theme and key verse, who wrote the book, and when it was written, why it was written, to whom it was written. 

The back of each card gives deeper info, including the book outline, key chapters, key passages, key doctrines, and key people.

Did I mention the cards are beautiful?  A beautiful, mini Bible study.


WHAT I LIKE

Again, the cards are beautiful.  Durable.  Easy to hold.  Appealing.  

The cards are great for exploring New Testament books by looking at an over or digging deeper.  

I love that my girls will just pick them up to read.  We educate classically (well, at least for the most part), so I love repetition and memory work.  The cards are so appealing that they look at them repeatedly.

They’re portable.  I may get another set to keep in the car.

I love that this company’s mission is to bring glory to God by providing engaging, Biblical content.  

I love that *I* can learn with these cards too!

The cards are a great complement to any Bible study for children.

I WISH…

I wish I’d known about these sooner!  

I hear an Old Testament set is in the works – I wish they’d hurry and finish!

I can’t wait until the full set of Bible Verses Every Kid Should know is finished!  (See the link to these in the “Be Sure To” section just below.)

BE SURE TO...

Check out Wizzy Gizmo’s Audio Dramas and their Book Series.

Make use of Bible Verses Every Kid Should Know – they’re working on these, but the resources that are already posted are fabulous! When finished, it will be a 52-week series, and the printed set will be available for purchase.  The cards are ‘themed’ according to the theme of the verse (Confession, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.).  Each verse includes a devotional,word definitions, and an activity sheet.  Fabulous!

FINAL THOUGHTS

One of the reasons we homeschool is to instill a love of God and knowledge of His Word in our girls.  Even though they’re getting older, I’m still constantly looking for engaging resources to help me with that goal.  These cards fit that goal perfectly, and would be a great addition to any Christian homeschool curriculum.  Every family should have a set of these – they’re wonderful for children of all ages, and parents too!
