Time For Bible and Rhyme

 

Joyful Heart Rhyming Times
3's Curriculum


How Do I Make Time for Bible and Rhyme Activities?

Below is a possible 3 day schedule to use with your three year old child in a home school setting, using Joyful Heart Rhyming Times.  Please keep in mind that learning times should be flexible, structured and organized - but not regimented. It should be fun, engaging, hands on, and lively. Children at this age learn through movement and song, with their senses, and through what often appears to be just good play and exploration!  Take time to read, read, and read some more.  Most importantly, please remember to let your 3 year old be just that - a precious child of three!

If you have multiple children, you may not have the opportunity to do all of the activities that correspond to each week. That is okay!  You may choose to just use portions of the curriculum such as the Bible story, Bible memory, related letter song, review flashcards, and letter art. Remember that your child is only 3 and the main focus should be on their heart =)
