Where’s the Word? Family Summer Resource

Where’s the Word? is a summer resource that helps kids and families read the Bible in different and fun places. In the summer, schedules look different. Families may take vacations or stay at home. But no matter where they go, they can easily take the Word of God with them. This resource will help make reading the Bible fun for kids wherever families go or whatever they do.

Families will take the travel board printables and see how many different places they can read the Bible this summer! As they read the Bible in a place or while doing a specific summer activity, they will mark it off and see how many boxes they can fill with God’s Word on their summer break.

How can KidMin Leaders incorporate this with what they do in the summer at church?

• Make this a challenge for your church kids! Offer small incentives or prizes for those who complete one board or both boards.
• Create a large earth out of banner paper and have kids write in verses they have read this summer and where they read them.
• Package this as a fun kit for each family. Include some summer-themed items like an inflatable globe, bubbles, small mason jar for catching fireflies, flashlight, sunglasses, and a pool float (all of these items are on the travel board). You can also include an item to use in one of the summer snack recipes (I plan to include Kool-Aid packets).
