I believe we can see God in all things. This companion will help you in seeking to do just that, all whilst reading the Anne of Green Gables.
Join us as we seek to find echoes of the Greatest Story, hidden on its pages. Using themes that come up in the book as springboards into faith-filled conversations, planting the truths of scripture into our children’s hearts and minds.
This 100 page book companion includes 13 sections, taking Anne of Green Gables, chapter by chapter, and providing the following for 13 of the chapters:
- A reflection to be read aloud, whereby a biblical theme or parallel is drawn from the chapter.
- 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.
- Activities to do together, such as singing a hymn, reflecting on a provided art piece, or writing a letter of encouragement.
- A memory verse poster, containing beautiful illustrations, to keep on the wall to aid memorisation and reflection.
- At least one colouring sheet per section, to keep little (or big) hands busy.
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 has 13 sections. Each section can either be done in one sitting, or a couple, allowing you to really focus on memorisation of the scripture.
That said, how you use this guide is entirely up to you. You could do one a week, or one a day.
Do I have to read Anne of Green Gables at the same time?
This is up to you. You could read the book all the way through, then use this companion afterwards. Alternatively, you could read each chapter, then do the corresponding chapter of the guide immediately afterwards. Either would work well, depending on the needs/wishes of your individual family.
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!
