A Wealth Of Bible Studies For Children On The World Wide Web
Kids love everything technological nowadays. Computers, internet, i-pods – anything that is high tech they can't keep their hands off of. Unfortunately, a lot of these things aren't very good for them. Computers cause eye strain and take time a way from playing and learning which they should be doing instead, the headphones from their music players can cause hearing damage. And that is to say nothing about all of the objectionable and sometimes dangerous material on the internet.
Fortunately, there is a way to turn this technological craze to the advantage of your family and your children. If you are technologically savvy, check out the wealth of bible studies for children available over the world wide web. Yeah I know, you may be telling me that it's hard to get your children to focus on their bible studies as it is. But when you give them online bible studies for children (many of which are available for free, or for very reasonable prices), complete with graphics, film clips, and hip modern language which will engage them, they are so much more likely to take the time to use them.
Of course, a rewards system is also useful. I make my kids spend one hour using the bible studies for children for every hour which they spend surfing the “web”. That way, they study the bible more AND use the internet less. I can even participate with them, helping them fill out the tests at the end of each lesson. My daughter pretends not to, but I know that she enjoys her bible studies for children lessons. My son doesn't even pretend any more.
Of course, if you are not technologically literate, or if you don't allow your children to use the internet (as I know that many Christians don't – and for good reason), there are a huge number of bible studies for children available in paper. These children's bible lessons can be ordered from every denomination, and are often handed out free of charge by many churches. They even have early readers bible studies for children, so that you can teach your kids to read and teach them all about the good word at the same time. Many of them have lavish illustrations done by professional artists, as well as a wealth of background historical information which will help your child learn about ancient history at the same time as the bible.
