Ideas for Family Time

Send us Fan MailAs Christian parents, it is our responsibility to teach our children about God and His principles. In this episode I share some ideas and strategies that could help you make this task easier and more enjoyable.It can be challenging to have a family time focused on reading the Bible, prayer, and discussing faith, especially with varying ages of children. Whether it’s incorporating games, listening to faith-based music, or acting out scenes from the Bible, I have some suggestions you might want to try for different ages of children. Having an appropriate age-level Bible or Bible story book is important. Using different translations of the Bible can help kids understand and engage with the text. Teenagers or older children who enjoy being artistic can benefit from having a Bible with space for doodling, illustrations or journaling. There are also several multimedia resources such as the You Version Bible App with its online Bible plans and videos for different ages. I also recommend the book, Growing the Fruit of the Spirit, which has great resources for games, coloring sheets, puzzles, and object lessons. Also, check out another resource to help you find the best kid’s Bibles by age level.NOTES: Source ideas for this podcast: Some of the ideas expressed in this podcast came from Collin’s Column: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/collinscolumn/2023/06/8-creative-ways-to-mix-up-your-family-bible-study/Best Bibles for Kids by Age: https://faithfulmoms.org/the-best-bible-options-for-kids-based-on-age/Creative Family Time Bible Study: https://www.creativebiblestudy.com/family-Bible-study.htmlGrowing the Fruit of the Spirit (A Bible-Based Unit Study) by Kris Cox and Kris Hage. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=growing+the+fruit+of+the+spirit&crid=1JMVB9WYKTRFV&sprefix=Growing+the+%2Caps%2C95&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_12 Check out the Questions for Kids picture book series, perfect for young readers ages 5-10! *Are you looking for fun, gospel-inspired merch for your family + discounted picture books for your kids and grandkids?
