🌟Greetings!🌟

A couple of years ago we started a Bible story time at our church. Every Monday for 45 minutes we invite caregivers and their kids to join us in praying, learning a memory verse, singing, dancing, and of course, reading stories with a Bible theme!

We always start the day with a fun song to welcome the kids and remind them that God loves each one of them. Our church doesn't have a great space to host a Bible story but we haven't let this stop us; we just do it in the foyer of the church and invite members of the community to come.

We are starting a new theme this spring and I'm so excited about this series of books we have picked out. The books are from a series called "With Jesus I am...." We are tying this into a Heroes of the Bible story time each week. (I'll be sending more info on that soon.)

​

Maybe this makes you want to start your own story time? (Which I'd highly recommend!!) Here's a sample you can download for free. And some ideas to get your started:

Bible Story Time

Theme: Pick a theme and center your stories around that theme. Fun themes may include the Fruit of the Spirit, Bible Heroes, Christian Nursery Rhymes, Life of Jesus, Holidays, etc.

Where: Pick a consistent day and time to do the story time each week. Ask your church if they would host one and make a flyer on Canva to advertise.

Main Verse: Pick a verse to act out and repeat throughout the story time.

Books: Choose 3-4 books related to your theme.

Activities: Young kids have short attention spans. Try alternating between activities. For example, read a book and then stand up and sing a favorite Bible song. Read another book and do a finger play activity.

We hope you enjoy these fun resources!

God Bless!
