The best way to begin is to start reading through the accounts in the Old and New Testament, one episode at a time, and have your children tell the story back to you in their own words – narrate. That method requires more thinking skills than it seems. And you can use more active ways of narrating if desired. Some of the ideas on this Narration Ideas list may be helpful.

For your 13-year-old, from what you have described, I think Life in the Word would be a good fit. It walks the student through the steps of Bible study and could also be used as a parent-and-child team study that you do together with him if desired.

Please don’t feel embarrassed about learning along with your children. That’s one of the best perks of homeschooling!

I’ve never really done Bible but devotions with my children, because I was unsure of what to do with my children and everything that I saw has always been more like devotions not learning the bible. My kids are 13, 11, 8, 6 and 2. I feel like I’ve missed out soo much in doing with them. Honestly, somehow I missed a lot in remembering things in church/Sunday School. I was searching on the site today, and I found a few Bible curriculums that I checked out here. Gosh, I wish I could remember what each was called. I think one was called, “Life in the Word.” I’ll describe at what I’m referring to. So one I found that actually had hands-on activities. There was one that it seemed the student did on their own, but since we’ve done nothing together shouldn’t I get something that we can all do together. My 13 yr. old is very smart, and enjoying doing on his own though. My 11 yr. old still needs direction, and my 8 yr. old is a very hands-on child. So I need some direction in what would work. I have no clue on where to start in the Bible with my kids. Honestly, I’m hoping to learn with my kids as I’m embarrassed to say, but I’m excited. I’ve always home-schooled, but I happened to attend one of the “Rails” work-shops at MassHope and I feel this teaching I’ve missed along the way. Thank-you!!
