An applause to you for taking on the high calling of being a parent and/or teacher, and we hope the activities posted below will help fill in any gaps during your school day or used as after school activities (something children and parents can do together).

1.  YouTube Bible Stories (click to open kids devotional)

Please note that you have permission to copy, past, and print copies of the text of YouTube Bible Stories for your students, and don’t forget to include the look them up and think about it questions that accompany each story.

How can they help? They can…

a. help children learn the true and Biblical view of life.

b. help improve reading skills when eyes follow the text as children listen.

c. help children improve their cognitive skills by finding answers to the look them up questions and the think about it question that accompany each story.

d. make it easier for children to express their thinking and feelings about a Bible Story by drawing their own picture after checking out the simple stick figure picture that accompanies each story.

e. And most important of all – the seed of God’s Word planted into the mind and heart of a child has great potential of producing much fruit in the Kingdom of God.

2.  Grandpa’s Favorite Bible Stories for Boys and Girls: 8-book series (check Amazon for details)

a. A copy of Book 1 in the series is free with free shipping (USA only) to Home-School parents or teachers. Just text 740-412-5329 and request the free book for home-school parents or teachers and give the address to where we should send it. (Anyone from anywhere can order the books from Amazon.)

b. Here is a YouTube link for one of the stories from book-1. In addition to the audio, you will also see the text of the two-minute story and the questions for kids that like a challenge that are in the book.  https://www.gpasdd.com/kids/94

c. Please note item #8b on this site to learn how parents can help children improve their reading skills through the Bible Stories.

3.  Bible Focus Games (click to open)

(The games are free, but we do ask that you pay shipping charges.)

Three Games are available at the present time – Giving Our Voice to: The Fruit of the Spirit, Psalms of Praise, and The Ten Commandments. All three games pretty much follow the same order of play and have the same rules. They will be enjoyed by kids old enough to read Bible verses out loud, teens, and adults (including seniors). Players will experience competition, teamwork, the value of patience and alertness, reading Bible Verses out loud, growing in an understanding of the relationship between sowing and reaping, etc. The purpose of the games is not to test one’s knowledge of the Bible but to provide an opportunity for players to think (or meditate) on what the Bible says.

When one of the games was taught to 6th-12th graders in a local Christian School, some unsolicited comments from students were: “I really like this game; this game is awesome; this is the best game I have ever played.”

4.  Crossword Puzzles and More (click to open)

Five daily exercises with verses from Psalms of Praise – We call it The Praise Fitness Club – where you will find Simple, Easy and Enjoyable daily exercises for the Mind and Spirit including:

a. Praise Crossword Puzzles

b. Praise Word Searches

c. Understanding God’s Word of Praise

d. Writing God’s Word of Praise

e. Praise Jigsaw Puzzles

Again, you have permission to copy, paste, and run off copies of the online crossword puzzles, word searches, etc. for your students if you choose to do so.

5.  New Testament Survey for High School Students (Click to open)

“The Bible and Phone Minute” is a daily devotional with an online teaching and study guide for teachers in a survey of highly treasured Bible passages from most New Testament chapters.

Also, please do not miss the Who is Jesus Video – item #1, and the Eagle or a Chicken page – item #26 on this website.

The day you became a parent, you also became a teacher.
