Lord’s Prayer Bible Curriculum (Kid Niche review)

kid niche review

IMG_0783[1]One thing I never feel like I’m doing enough of with the boys is Bible study. This is getting better since we switched our main curriculum to one that has a Bible reading plan built in, but I’m almost always interested in reviewing Bible study curriculum when it comes available anyway. Today, Munchkin and I will talk to you about Kid Niche Christian Books and their Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1 set.

Kid Niche (niche rhymes with stitch) is passionate about teaching kids how to grow in Christ. They have a variety of resources for teens and preteens to teach them all about God and about developing – and keeping – a relationship with Him. There are also resources for younger children and their parents to work with, making sure that relationship starts at a young age. This is so important for our children! It’s not enough to just take them to church once or twice a week and hope that they somehow, magically, know God and read their Bibles. We have to model this for them, and begin teaching them at home on a daily basis when they’re very young. Kid Niche is there to help.

Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1 is a Bible study for the 4th-6th grade crowd (roughly ages 8-11). It comes printed and hole punched, ready to be inserted into your child’s binder. It’s not bound, so you will need to have a place to keep the pages to prevent them from being lost. (We don’t have binders at the moment, so I put Munchkin’s set into a file folder. It’s a bit loosey-goosey, but it’s working for us.) There are 36 lessons, so you can take it nice and slow and study the Lord’s Prayer a little bit at a time for the entire school year, or you can study hard and intense, doing a lesson a day and get through it a lot faster. It’s not a difficult curriculum, so we’ve been doing 3-5 lessons per week.

Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1 follows the Lord’s Prayer, teaching children not only how to pray as prescribed by Jesus, but also why we are to pray in this way. It does a wonderful job of combining New and Old Testament scriptures together, helping to explain some of the concepts within the prayer to children. Each lesson consists of Bible reading, comprehension questions, and a written prayer. A lot of these are fill-in-the-blank type questions, but some are more “essay” type. The written prayer at the end of the lessons are similar to the questions, in that there is a guide for students to work within, but they are also free to add in their own thoughts while they write and pray.

I decided to use Easy Peasy Homeschool for our core curriculum this year, and it includes a Bible reading time in each day’s lessons. It was really easy to have Munchkin sub in the Kid Niche lessons instead of what was written on the Easy Peasy website. He’s been enjoying having the worksheets to help him process what he reads in the Bible, and I’m glad he’ll have a record of what he’s learned and prayed this year.

In addition to Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1, there is also Weave Your Word in Me — Part 2 available. You can also buy the two parts individually for $20 each or together as a single set for $30.
