Get Your Kids Digging In Their Bibles {One Proverb a Day for a Month}

Get your kids digging in their Bibles - FREE reading calendars to read through Proverbs in a month. Blog post includes calendar options for both younger and older kids. Resource created by Jessica Lawler, "Joy in the Journey"

As a fifth grade teacher I was always on the lookout for ways to get my students reading their Bibles for themselves. One of the most important life skills you can encourage in your kiddos is the discipline of daily Bible reading.

Dallas Willard said: “Bible reading is absolutely fundamental to spiritual formation.”

I wholeheartedly agree.

The book of Proverbs has 31 chapters in it – perfect for one chapter per day for a month. Proverbs is filled with nuggets of wisdom – and the verses are very accessible for kids.

Since May is coming up (with 31 days) I thought I’d share a freebie with you to help your students (or personal kiddos) dig into the book of Proverbs.

These free packet includes a calendar with boxes to check off when your student has read the assignment.

There are two calendar options included:
A. For younger kids: asks them to read a couple of verses from each chapter.
B. For older kids: asks them to read a whole chapter each day.

This calendar can be done again and again – there is so much richness in the book of Proverbs that your students could read it each month! Encourage them to pray about what verses God would highlight for them as they read.

Here are some other reading plans for kids/families:
