It is our prayer that our Bible Study resources will be a tremendous blessing to you and your family as you seek to help your child learn how to accurately handle the Word of Truth. Please let us know how our Bible studies have helped your family and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have! Creating Your Notebook Your first step is to make a Bible Study Notebook for each of your children.

2 We recommend that you use a binder with a 1 inch spine or bigger. You will also need a set of tabbed dividers to separate each of the individual studies that your child completes. In the last page of this file you will find a printable binder cover page that you can insert in the front pocket of the binder. Print the cover page out and sit down with your child as they write their name and decorate their cover page. This notebook will become a real treasure to you and your child as you see the progress and growth your child makes. It also can be a sweet testimony to the faithfulness of God s Word and an evangelistic tool as your child shares it with friends, family and neighbors. Here are a few examples of our children s Bible Study Notebooks: After you have completed your binder, the next step is to insert and label the dividers. Label the first divider according to the first Study you plan to complete.

3 Quiet Times for Kids has produced many topical studies for your child. Here is a list of the possible studies you could have a labeled divider for: - Proverbs Study - Names of Jesus Study - 30 Days with Jesus Study - 30 Bible Stories You May Have Never Heard - The Book of James Study - The Peacemakers Study - My Advent Study - The Twelve Days of Christmas Study All of these printable Bible studies are available for purchase at Printing Out Your Copies This document contains two separate Proverbs studies for your child. For the first Study you will need to print out 31 copies of page 4 for each child who plans to complete it as well as 1 copy of page 3 as a cover page. In this first Study your child will read one chapter from the Proverbs each day and write out a report for each day s readings. This Study is a more brief look at each chapter in the Proverbs . For the second Study , you will need to print out one copy of page 5-26 for each child.

4 In this Study your child will be creating their own type of concordance of verses in Proverbs based on a list of character qualties. This will help them get a deeper look at what the Proverbs say about particular strengths and weaknesses mentioned. If your child has not yet created their Bible Study Binder you will also need to print out the Bible Study Binder coverpage found on page 27 of this document. We recommend going through the first Study along with your child to help them understand the process and to answer any questions they may have. We also recommend finding a good time of day to set aside for your children to devote to their personal Bible Study . For some families this my be something you may want them to complete first thing in the morning, even before breakfast. For others it may be the first assignment you give them to start off their school day. This can be a blessing to mom as it will give her a little time to prepare the lessons for the rest of the day as the children work on their Bible Study Binders.

5 In our family we have found that the best time for us is in the afternoon while our little ones are napping. We have always made it a practice to have the whole family take a quiet time around 3:00 in the afternoon and having these Bible studies has been an invaluable tool to give our older, non-napping children something productive and edifying to do while the little ones nap. We encourage you to try different times of the day until you find what works best for your family. We pray God s blessings on you and your family as you dig into God s Word together! Blessings in Jesus, Andie Davidson & Family This Bible Study is designed to help you better understand the book of Proverbs . Each day you should first fill out the date in the upper right hand corner of your Proverbs Bible Study Report page.

6 Then you should read the Proverb that corresponds with that day. You will be asked to write the verse that stood out to you the most and then write what you think that verse means. Next, you will write down one way you could apply or obey what you have read. Finally, you should draw a picture illustrating something you have read or written. 2012 by Quiet Times for Kids All rights reserved.
