weekly devotionals for kids & parents to do together (K–3rd grade)

or for 4th–5th graders to do on their own

On the first day, read and do the first devotion, marked “1.”
Read and do “2” on the next day, and so forth.
If you can’t do all the days in a week, don’t worry. Doing one day’s worth is better than none!

Each day:

Step 1: Read the devotion.

Step 2: F ind and read the day’s Bible verse(s) in a Bible.
Use the table of contents to locate hard-to-find verses

Step 3: Read and do the activity for the day.

Step 4: Pray a prayer using the prayer sentence as a guide.

Tips: Even though kindergartners and 1st graders are beginning to read short things, they will need your assistance to have a “God time.”

Even though most second and third graders can read short things on their own, most aren’t
mature enough to have a “God time” on their own. You will need to do it with them.

Most 4th and 5th graders are capable of having a “quiet time” on their own, once they’ve been taught how to do it, but they still need
an adult to prompt them and/or follow up on it. Encourage your child to choose four different days this week to do these devotions.
