Family Activities
![]()
Continue daily Bible study or readings from an age-appropriate bible.
![]()
Plan a special outing with each child to continue discussing character. Think of an event or activity to illustrate an opportunity for growth.
![]()
Continue family readings as well as encouraging your child to listen and learn on their own. Once you have finished reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, continue reading through the Chronicles of Narnia with the study guides. Every family is different, and accordingly should adapt the schedule of reading to suit the interests and time availability of family members. Try to read a chapter two or three times per week. If you don’t have time to go over all the questions in one sitting, discuss them over the next couple of days, keeping the story fresh in the children’s minds and building their excitement to read the next chapter.
