Learn how to get started using Lightgliders with the kids you care about.
Go to www.lightgliders.com and click “Start Free Trial.” Follow the on-screen steps to select your account type. When prompted, enter your email address and choose a password to create your account.
Once your account is created, you’ll be prompted to create your first child profile. Choose a username and password that your child will remember! Once you create a child profile (or multiple child profiles if you have a family or group account), STOP! The next step in the onboarding process is for your child to do. However, you should first make sure that you have Lightgliders downloaded onto all of your child’s devices.
Once you sign up, you can download the Lightgliders app on all your kids' devices.
Download the iOS mobile app from the App Store
Download the Android mobile app from the Google Play Store
Download the Kindle mobile app from the Amazon App Store
Your kids can log in using their username and password to begin playing. If you want to manage your account, log in with your own email and password.
Have your child log in on their device using the username and password you set up for them in Step 2. Once your kids have logged in on their device, they will be guided through Lightglider Training – they will create their own character, come up with a Lightglider name, go on their first mission, and learn how to play! Find the red Gliddle in the Courtyard anytime to revisit Lightglider Training, learn more about how to play, and get ideas for what to do next. In addition, join us at the New Player Tour any Tuesday at 4pm EST! Our moderators will be happy to welcome your kids and give them a tour of Glideon!
After completing Lightglider Training, your kids will enter Lightglider Academy, our virtual world of games and community. Here, kids can customize their character and Treehouse, discover activity hubs with games and videos, attend events, and socialize with friends using our safe chat feature. Use the side-bar menu to navigate to other parts of the Lightgliders app, including “This Week in Lightgliders,” which showcases the weekly theme, Scripture verse, and activities. Or select “Faith & Fun” to access our library of hundreds of games, videos, and activities!
As you play Lightgliders, you will learn that you have entered into a story where you are tasked to respect, rescue, and restore. To learn more about the Lightgliders characters, story, and gameplay, check out the Lightgliders Training Manual.
Every week inside Lightgliders there are new Bible-based themes, Scriptures, and activities, being discussed and explored. They are found in the “This Week” section of the Lightgliders menu. Review these weekly themes and activities with your kids to spark meaningful reflection and conversation.
Every Monday you will receive an email overview of the week’s theme and highlighted activities. You will find meaningful conversation starters to support the weekly theme, Scripture, and activities being spotlighted and discussed in Lightgliders. Use these with your kids at the dinner table, before bed, or during car rides… really whenever an opportunity presents itself!
Lightgliders is a story-based virtual world of games and weekly activities designed to engage kids and to encourage opportunities to learn about the Far Greater Story, which is the true story of God’s love for us found in the Bible. To learn more about how Lightgliders does this on a weekly basis, review the Lightgliders Calendar, visit the Glider Gazette, and download the Lightgliders Story Guide. It is our hope that Lightgliders encourages opportunities for family discipleship in a way that helps kids know, grow in, and show God’s love.
