The Bible Buddy Reading Plan: a Discipleship Tool for Children's Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with God AGE GROUP: Elementary This activity is designed to help kids practice the spiritual habit of spending time with God. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to spend time growing in relationship with God through personal times of prayer, reading Scripture, reflection, and worship. Spending time with God is one of the best habits kids can develop-but we all need someone to help us get started. With The Bible Buddy Reading Plan , kids won't be reading alone-they'll have a special stuffed animal buddy to join them on their journey through Scripture. Each week, kids will "adopt" a Bible Buddy to take home. Their new friend will tag along as they read, learn, journal, and grow in their faith. This reading plan includes daily Bible passages and a guided journal filled with fun prompts to help kids engage with what they're reading. Whether they're reading aloud to their Bible Buddy, drawing pictures of what they've learned, or writing down their thoughts, this experience will help kids connect with God in a personal and memorable way. All our discipleship activities are built to be flexible! You can use this activity in a variety of ways with just a little bit of modification, but here's how we recommend using this one: This activity can be used at home, any time. It will take one week for kids to complete!
