With schools closing around the country, Krista Peterson, the Baptist Convention of New Mexico’s associate director of children’s leadership development, has created a list of ideas for home discipleship.
Below are Peterson’s 15 ideas for taking advantage of this opportunity and time to disciple kids while they’re home.
— Challenge kids to read the book of Luke, together or individually. Here is a challenge from last year with age-appropriate segments of Luke divided out. www.bcnm.com/nm-kids-reading-gods-word
— Have your kids choose a Bible story and put together a dramatic re-enactment of it. Record it and post on social media for others to see.
— Write and decorate cards to thank those who are part of your child’s development.
— Play board games together or provide kids with a file folder and encourage them to make up their own board game.
— Challenge your kids to memorize Bible verses or passages (like Psalm 23). Award prizes for accomplishments.
— Start a Bible verse challenge. Have your kids create motions for a verse. Record your kids saying the verse and making the motions, send it to another family, and ask them to do the same and keep passing it on.
— Do random acts of kindness like super-secret spies like baking cookies and leaving them on doorsteps without anyone seeing you.
— Make a “blessings” board and write down everything you’re thankful for that God has provided for us.
