Bible/Character Curriculum - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

7mom7 · 02-23-2013, 02:12 PM

Any favorites? I'd like it to be something that will work for ages pre-k through 1st grade. Would be great to have a memory verse per week and really get them thinking. I need to keep them together for my sanity but my older son is in a place where he's wanting to go deeper so I'd rather have it geared more towards him if I can't find a good fit for both.

I ordered a few different things, before I realized our curriculum teaches virtues/character lessons. Doh!
They all look great though!!
I got the family kit from We Choose Virtues for $69. Here: http://we-choose-virtues.myshopify.c...cts/family-kit
And The Original 21 rules of This House for around $23. Here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20
This one was around $16: Our 24 Family Ways

I like the We Choose Virtues...how were you planning to use it? One virtue a week and then repeat?

Yes, I think that would work best

I'm going to use the family ways book over the summer, since we are already doing a similar study to the I Choose Virtues in school next year.

I have a pre-k and a 1st grader as well and we are enjoying The Beginners Bible. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20

We are using it in conjunction with both of the devotionals http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20

The website is full of fun games and activities
http://thebeginnersbible.com/

They have an Ipad app as well
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-...539466818?mt=8

Coloring book that goes along with the Bible
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20

Activity book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20

If you have a Sam's Club near you they had the coloring book and Activity book in a pack together for $8

They have felt activity boards as well (Just a few of the many)

They have Youtube videos also! Just search The Beginner's Bible.

DD (1st grade) enjoys reading the " I can read" books of the Bible stories http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20
Most of them are available on the kindle as well.

I have found a couple of VBS/Sunday School curriculums as used bookstores that we used. They were specifically designed for Pre-K. most involved having a big group of kids, so i had to be creative how to do each activity. the publisher is Shining Star Publications, they have lots of books.

we now are going though a children's bible and reading 1 story a week, doing games, crafts, and activities based on the story. if we wanted we could pick 1 verse to memorize for each week's story.
