Resources for your family worship time
A few weeks back, we discussed some options for making God’s Word prevalent in your homes. I am following up that discussion by a listing of some resources for children to help you in that task. They will be listed by the age-group that I feel they are most appropriate for, but obviously we know that, even as adults, we can benefit from the simplicity of children’s resources as well. Some resources are listed in multiple age brackets. I believe these can span those age groups well with only limited adaptation needed.
Young Children (birth–5)
- The Jesus Storybook Bible – We utilize this as our current children’s curriculum during our Sunday gatherings.
- The Rhyme Bible Storybook for Toddlers
- My ABC Bible Verses
- The Big Picture Story Bible – In my opinion, this is one of the best first books for the youngest ones.
- What’s in the Bible – This hits the older age of this range more. Although the videos are very entertaining and well done, some little ones get distracted from them easily.
- Read-Aloud Bible Stories
- Jellytelly Family Entertainment Streaming – This resource has the What’s in the Bible available as well as many other resources. It is similar to Netflix in its setup.
Slightly Older Children (5–8)
- The Gospel Story Bible – This is one of my favorite resources for this age range. The readings are a little longer and it only has one main picture per story. The pictures are very interesting and intricate, though.
- Big Truths for Little Kids
- Long Story Short
- Old Story New
- What’s in the Bible
- Jellytelly Family Entertainment Streaming – has the What’s in the Bible available as well as many other resources
- Big Truths for Young Hearts – This is great as a guide for parents. It provides a format for teaching main Bible truths to your children.
Older Children (9–12)
- Big Truths for Little Kids
- Long Story Short
- Old Story New
- What’s in the Bible
- Jellytelly Family Entertainment Streaming – has the What’s in the Bible available as well as many other resources
- Big Truths for Young Hearts
- The Bible – Thankfully, kids at this age are progressing to a higher reading level. This is a great time to teach them to have a quiet time alone with God with a journal and their Bible.
