Teaching your Kids the Bible Pt. 3

This is a continuing series about

how to teach your children the

Bible. In these posts, I hope

to encourage you to be teaching God's Holy

Word, to your precious little ones,

and include some tips and ideas that

we have used through the years

with our 5 children.

If you haven't read Part One or Two

of this series go 

here for One

 and here for Two.

Part 3 installment-

Repetition and Submersion

The best way of learning anything,

as some of you may know,

is with repetition and submersion.

We use these techniques for

learning a language, lyrics to a song...

These same learning techniques work

wonderfully for getting you and

your children familiar with the Bible.

In addition to you the parent,

reading and discussing

the Bible with your kids,

Below are a few resources that

our family has found helpful in

getting the Word "into us".

Some tools we use all the time are

Cd's and tapes.

There are some really

great Cd's out there, that put

scripture to music.  It is

such a great way to memorize the Word.

Our long time favorites, that have been around a

long time-

Hide Em' In Your Heart vol 1-2

By Steve Green.

Great for younger kids-

my older kids (15 and 16) still know

all the verses from these songs.

We have the Video\ DVD versions too,

that we watch over and over again.

Another resource that is the best-

The whole Bible on CD.

You can listen to it in the car,

have it on during the day around the house.

We play it in the kids rooms,

 as they go to sleep.

If you have an iphone, or ipad

there are some great Bible apps that have 

different audible versions.

We use this resource the most.

Another set of CD's that we just love,

and always give as gifts is called-

Song For The Saplings

They are a wonderful ministry.

Some Cd's are scripture in song,

and some take the Westminister

Catechism's questions and answers,

and put them to music.

We just treasure the good solid

foundation we and our children are getting from 

these CD's.

Check out their site.

Another wonderful resource is 

Seeds Family Worship

They have a great ministry of scripture in song

 to children and families.

Each Cd is a total enjoyment to listen too.

I love to listen as much as my kids do.

There is nothing better than learning God's word

through music. 

You can take a listen to them on itunes and You Tube.

They have a wonderful vision

of getting the Word into our families.

Check them out.

Some last tips for getting the Word

into you and the kids;

Have scripture displayed around your home.

Have it written on 3x5 cards on the fridge,

have it printed up and framed in your living room.

I posted about that here.

Have the kids copy it down as part of their

daily copy work lessons.

Have God's Word displayed where

everyone can see it and read it.

Remember, have fun.

I hope these tips and resources encourage you.

Let me know if they work for you and 

your family.

Tootles.
