If you're looking for a way to get your kids into the Bible every day, UCB Spark might be just the thing. Built by United Christian Broadcasters (UCB) — a UK-based Christian media charity with over 35 years of ministry — Spark is a free, video-based devotional app designed specifically for kids aged 10 to 12.^1 Each day brings a short Bible-based video exploring topics like identity, bullying, friendships, and dealing with anxious thoughts, followed by interactive activities: questions to reflect on, drag-and-drop Bible challenges, hidden verses to uncover, and prayers.^2
UCB is a registered UK charity (No. 299128) that operates two national DAB radio stations, publishes the widely-read "Word For Today" devotional, and runs the UCB Prayerline.^3 Spark's daily video devotionals are based on readings from the Word For Today, adapted for a younger audience by UK content creators.^1 The app was designed and developed by Amperative, a digital agency specializing in Christian organizations, with a focus on bold, Gen Alpha-friendly design and gamification features that encourage kids to return daily.^4
Parents will appreciate that UCB Spark prioritizes safety: it's completely ad-free, doesn't connect to social media, requires no sign-in, and collects no identifiable personal data.^1 The app is available on both iOS and Android, has been downloaded over 5,500 times across 30 countries, and features captioned videos for accessibility.^2 The God for Kids blog gave it an 8/10 for educational value and 9/10 for engagement, noting it's "very well thought through and very well designed for this age group."^5 One App Store reviewer wrote: "It's an excellent tool for presenting the Bible in a visual and engaging way, especially for older children and teens. UCB has done a fantastic job curating stories and content that stay true to the Bible."^6
