I believe we can see God in all things.
This companion will help you in seeking to do just that, all whilst reading the Family Under the Bridge. Join us as we seek to find echoes of the Greatest Story, hidden on its pages. Using a theme that comes up in the book as a springboard into faith-filled conversations this Advent, planting the truths of scripture into our children’s hearts and minds.
This 18 page book companion includes:
- A reflection to be read aloud, whereby a biblical theme is drawn from the book.
- A corresponding memory verse to reflect on or memorise.
- Copy work of the memory verse.
- Discussion questions for all ages.
- For older children, a “dig deeper” section, going deeper into the theology with activities and larger portions of scripture.
- A hymn and art reflection to do together.
- A recipe to be made and enjoyed
- A memory verse poster, containing beautiful illustrations, to keep on the wall to aid memorisation and reflection.
- Four colouring sheets to keep little (or big) hands busy.
- A content warning section for parents
What ages is this for?
At the risk of sounding vague, this companion was designed to be used by the whole family, bearing in mind those who have a variety of ages at home, like myself. The colouring sheets can be used by the little ones, whilst the older children are discussing the questions, grappling with theological concepts.
However, that said, to fully engage with the discussion and activities, it would be suited for ages 6+.
How long is this guide/companion?
It is designed to be possible to do in one sitting, on finishing the book. However, you could split it up and do different things on different days, as part of morning time for example.
This is a digital download
You will receive a digital download to the email address you provide. No physical copy will be sent. You may print these files or have them printed at a local print shop. The beauty of this being digital, is that you can print multiple copies of the copy work, colouring sheets and memory verse posters to allow all children to have copies. As well as the ability to use it again in a few years time!
