Below is our Master list for the year. This is the outline of every story we will cover with our kids–feel free to join along and do the crafts with us, or come up with your own!
(Disclaimer: I may change and move around a few things as we progress). You can now click on any lesson on the list and just do that one if you like (if it doesn’t have a hyperlink that means we haven’t done it yet…there are a couple of those).
If you do these at your own pace, there are about 20-25 per month so you can take Sundays off …and sometimes take another day off …we do Bible stories about 5 days a week.
ENJOY!

There you go! That’s an entire year’s worth of lessons…about 300 for you to study with your kiddos. Regular study of God’s word keeps His truths in their hearts and builds a good foundation of daily seeking God. It also helps US as parents ensure WE are seeking God every day. Some days may seem to go over your child’s head…and that’s ok. You can always modify a lesson to be more or less complex, but also trust that the truths you speak will sink into their hearts. God WANTS children to come to Him and to know Him and you may be surprised how much He helps them understand and remember and how much insight He gives them. Thanks for joining us this year!
