Good questions. Actually, Hands-On Bible Curriculum and Hands-On Bible MAX are completely separate curriculums. HOBC which you currently use, is an age-graded curriculum, toddlers through 6th grade, with a two-year topical/Bible story-based scope and sequence. HOBC is a very hands-on, active learning curriculum which uses gizmos to help kids understand the Bible point.

Bible MAX, on the other hand, is a multi-age curriculum (meaning, everything for elementary is in one kit) with three-year scope & sequence that gets kids into the Hands-On Bible every week.  This curriculum does not use gizmos provided in the kit. Instead, leaders put together Bible Exploration kits of easy to find supplies and lead small-groups of kids through active learning activities that include opening the Bible, reading the Bible story/lesson, and doing activities related to the lesson. Bible MAX also includes a praise and worship section...and music DVD and CD are included in the kit to help lead kids in a responsive worship to each week's lesson.

Bible Blitz is the former name of Bible MAX.
