Bible Story Dice

I came across story dice a few years ago, and have wanted to make a Bible story set for ages, and I’ve finally worked out how to do it, so here they are! As there as 6 sides on each die, I think that 3 dice is probably enough. I’ve kept the pictures simple and … Read more

Mini home rituals to celebrate Bible feast days

I wanted to look at the Jewish ‘High Holy Days’ as they are known, to find some rituals we could use to enrich our faith at home. I’m not going to give an exhaustive overview here, (because you have google too!) but my focus is what elements we could adapt and use. In Autumn there … Read more

Review: Diddy Disciples

“People who learn to ‘sit still and be quiet’ in church during the early years of their life are more likely to continue to ‘sit still and be quiet in church as adults.” Sharon had me with this quote… let me give a few headlines and then you can read what else I discovered: Title: … Read more

Twister Prayers

Have fun moving about and playing this game as you pray. If you’re not familiar with the traditional game of Twister, it’s quite simple: you spin the spinner until it lands on a colour and one body part (left or right hand or foot). You then place that part of your body on a spot … Read more

Bible puppets

 Something my children enjoy is using puppets to retell and explore the meaning of Bible stories. One way I’ve made the puppets is to buy 2 identical sets of Bible storybooks. We then have one copy for reading and I cut up the other and stick pictures onto lolly sticks. It takes about 20 minutes … Read more

Pasta pictures

Most families have some dried pasta in the house, so here’s a few ways to use it to explore Bible stories together. While 1 type of pasta works fine, it’s fun to have a few different types. In this picture we used lasagne sheets, spaghetti and twirls (what are they called?). You could read the … Read more

My Cup Overflows

In the last week or so, two good friends have given me out-of-the-blue gifts, one gave me some fancy tea and the other a tea pot. Now I’m usually very much a coffee drinker, so I took this opportunity to dabble on The Other Side, and to my surprise really enjoyed it! One friend also … Read more

My favourite books for under 5s

A Mum on the GodVenture Facebook page asked me this question the other day: “I imagine you’ve done quite a bit of research. Can I pick your brains? What are your favourite Christian books for 0-5 year olds? Could be Bible-based stories or more vague.” I love books, so that’s a fab question, but which … Read more

Faith at home in the summer holidays

What word would you choose to describe summer holidays? Wonderful? Relaxing? Memory-making? Long? Stressful? Childcare? Expensive? Exhausting? Whatever the age of our children and our unique blend of work and childcare, summer holidays change our daily lives. Our routines are different, our goals are different, and we face challenges which don’t exist during term time. … Read more

How can I give my children spiritual play opportunities at home?

A little post in response to Kate Mitchell’s question on Facebook Offering spiritual play opportunities is something a little different from our usual tell a Bible story and do Thanks / Sorry / Please prayers. It involves more trust – trust in the methodology, in our children and, of course, in God! An easy way … Read more

Why we read Christian fiction at home

I’ve just finished reading Patricia St John’s Treasures of the Snow to my girls (ages 4 and 6). We started it when we were in the snowy Alps earlier in the year, as it seemed very seasonal, and we’ve only just finished it mainly due to business and that my 4yo is only just starting to enjoy … Read more

Buttons and lollysticks – exploring the crowd

One of the things I like doing when reading the Bible is considering the crowd. Who are the non-speaking people in this story? Which people from other Bible stories might have also been in this one as part of ‘the crowd’. This is especially interesting when looking at stories about Jesus as the Bible often … Read more
