| Bible & Spiritual Growth suggestions for two year olds Bible instruction and spiritual growth training during the four preschool/kindergarten years consists of a basic overview of the major stories and characters of the Old and New Testaments as well as the study of Christian character traits and basic doctrinal truths. Teaching the school subject of "Bible and Spiritual Growth" is not a substitute for daily, family devotional time nor Christian service/mission work. PRAYER Can say a short, memorized, morning prayer. This is learned through repetition. After the child hears you say the prayer every morning, over time he will start to join in and say it with you. At this age, do not expect the child to pray spontaneously. Can say a short, memorized, meal blessing. Again, this is learned by repetition. You can begin to teach your child about witnessing by praying over your food in restaurants. Christian families need not be ashamed to profess their faith in public. This is an important lesson to be taught early on. Can say a short, memorized bedtime prayer. Bedtime prayers can be done in two parts. First, do a short memorized prayer for the child to learn. Then spend some time praying for individuals like family and friends. Ask the child if there is anyone he would like to pray for. Don't be surprised if he prays for the family pet or his favorite toy! Prayers for Toddlers The child should have his own children's story Bible and have a special place for it. Understands that the Bible is a special book and that we must take special care of it. Even though the child is being taught that we take care of all books, a special emphasis needs to be placed on the care of God'sWord. Designate a special place for his Bible and make sure he puts it thereafter he is done looking at it. Familiar with several major Bible stories and characters, i.e.Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, Jesus' birth etc. This is learned by reading these stories to the child over and over. Don't worry, he won't get bored. Children love to hear the same stories over and over again. Pretty soon, he will be telling you the stories which is exactly what you want. Answers a few simple Bible questions like, Who made the trees? sky?birds? us? etc. and Who is God's Son? Spend some time just talking to your child about all that God has done. Whenever you go outside, make comments like, "Look at that fluffy white cloud God made!"; "God made that oak tree and now the squirrels have a nice place to live." MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE Memorizes one short Bible verse a week but probably will not be able toretain the verse for more than a week after that. Say the Bible verse a couple of times a day for aweek and the child will learn it with ease. Pick verses that are short and thatdo not have words that are too difficult. Have them quote the name of the book,chapter and verse after the verse itself. "In the beginning, God createdthe heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1" Scripture for Toddlers BIBLE SONGS Sings several simple Bible songs, i.e."Jesus Loves Me" and "God Is So Good" as well as some praise and worship choruses. You won't have any difficulty with this one because children love to sing. Music is a wonderful thing and you should be instilling a love of good music in them anyway. We play music in our house all the time.It makes for a soothing backdrop while going about your daily activities. We play lively praise and worship tapes while doing chores and more quiet and soothing music for reading time. Toddler Bible Songs |
