25 Ways to Incorporate the Bible into Your Homeschooling -

Incorporating the Bible into a homeschooling curriculum, and everyday lives is so important to most families. Scripture makes it clear that a mother and father are to teach their children, so that is exactly what we do for our little ones. Receiving a good education is vital, and we intend to make sure that’s exactly what we give to our children. Even though my girls go to public school, I have often toyed with the idea of homeschooling them. I still supplement what they learn in public school in other ways.

Homeschooling can take up a lot of time if you don’t plan ahead of time. The Bible clearly instructs us to train up a child, so that’s what we do! One thing I’ve found that helps when I have more “stuff” to do, and they still need to do schoolwork, is filling time with games they can play on their own or with each other is an awesome way to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

If you don’t already used a Bible-based curriculum, I highly recommend it! Even if you hadn’t considered it before, it’s something worth looking into. Many homeschooling parents choose to piece everything together from various sources to tailor to their child’s homeschooling needs. Whether you go with a full curriculum or do your own thing, here are 25 ways you can incorporate the Bible into your homeschool!

1.What’s In the Bible DVD Set plus free printables that go along with the DVDs.

2. Look and Find Bible

3. Apples to Apples Bible Edition

4. Read through the Bible in 90 Days

5. Bible Bingo

6. Books of the Bible Fishing Game

7. Books of the Bible Hopscotch

8. Free Books of the Bible Coloring Pages

9. Listen to the Bible instead of reading it yourself

10. Create a Bible Study Basket

Here are some other Ways to Incorporate it into Your Homeschooling Curriculum

11. Teach your children to use their Bibles. Have them find certain verses, and do copy work or even record themselves reading them. This can help with reading and writing skills, handwriting practice, memorizing the verses, and even public speaking.

12. Make learning fun by playing Bible-based games such as The Action Bible Guess It Game. Getting kids involved in learning about God’s Word while also having a great time is a great way to make time go by fast and avoid the dreaded, “Oh no, more schoolwork?” mumbles and grumbles.

13. Use a free curriculum that’s based on the Bible, such as Calvary Curriculum. It can be used as an almost stand-alone curriculum, or even just a jumping off point or supplement.

14. Get into note booking. Have you tried it yet? Look at these Bible Notebooking Pages. If you subscribe to their email list, you’ll also get the 10 Commandments Printable Pack for FREE. It’s over 100 pages!

15. Try lapbooking. Notebooking and lapbooking work well together, but you could do one or the other instead of both as well. Everything is completely up to you! We love lap books because you can get so creative with them. Try some free Bible Lapbooks about Adam and Eve or any other character from the Bible.

16. Read books – in addition to the Bible – that teach about the characters of the Book and spreading God’s Word. I recommend Discovering Jesus in Genesis.

17. Christianity, Cults, & Religions helps Christians know and understand what they believe, and why. It’s an excellent study series to accompany any homeschooling curriculum – especially for middle or high school.

18. Make a Virtue Training Bible. This is a fantastic project to work on as a family!

19. These Bible Book Summary Cards are perfect for elementary-aged kids. Download a few sample cards, and then buy the collection or make your own.

20. The Illustrated Bible Dictionary is another way to incorporate the Bible into handwriting practice, as well as learning Language and Grammar.

21. Sermon Notes for Kids would also work for lesson notes.

22. Copywork, copywork, copywork! If your children love copywork, there are tons of free resources out there to help include the Bible in their copywork lessons. Free Scripture Copywork Download + LEGO Cursive Bible Copywork

23. For older kids, such as high schoolers, there are many thought-provoking books to read and then turn into essay papers. Try How to Stay Christian in High School and Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations

24. If you have more than one child that you’re homeschooling, have them each create a set of questions for the other, based on individual characters of the Bible – with an Answer Key that they give to you. Check their answers to make sure they’re correct. If they are, let them “grade” each others’ papers and chat about the lessons they have learned, or want to learn.

25. And if you’re still looking for even more games, check out this post: Bible Games for Kids. It has dozens of games for memorizing the Books of the Bible! Excellent resource!
