Since putting on the full armor of God and modern day knighthood seems to have become the “theme” of our homeschool this year, and thus our daily lives, I thought it would be a good idea for Ben to understand more fully what that means exactly. I’m sure there is plenty for me to learn as well (isn’t that always the case with homeschool moms?).
So, I’ve decided to do a weekly study, maybe on Wednesday evenings, since we are not attending a church with a Wednesday program currently. In my head, this would be a solid study in character, what it truly means to put on the full armor of God as well as what it means to be a modern day knight. I found several things at Christian Books (CBD) that I thought would work well, such as this lamintated wall chart:
This wall chart also has activities on the back that can be photocopied for lessons.
CBD also has a book entitled, Kids Travel Guide to the Armor of God, which contains 13 scripture-based lessons exploring the Armor of God. Ben already has a costume of Knight’s Armor that I believe we can pull in and do something with, but if you are interested, they also have thisArmor of God costume.
There are few books on my list to read aloud as well. Of course we have already read Little Sir Galahad (but I think we’ll reread it soon) and are currently reading The White Knights. Another book on my list to read this year includes Teddy’s Button. All 3 of these books are published by Lamplighter Publishing, a phenomenal ministry headed by Mark Hamby. If you are not familiar with Lamplighter, you’ll want to spend some time perusing their website.
So now I’m off to place my CBD order. Hopefully we can get started with this study within a couple of weeks!
