A welcoming place for children and the adults who read with them. Explore stories about Jesus, ask honest questions and practise listening with care.

A little time together

Start with a story.
Follow the questions.

You do not need to know every answer. Choose a short reading, invite each person to notice something, and let questions remain open when you are unsure.

Families come in many forms. These ideas are for parents, grandparents, carers and other trusted adults reading with children.

Three conversations to begin

For adults to read and discuss with children. Adapt the language and length to the child’s age and interests; the links open the full biblical chapter for context.

Notice kindness

Who is my neighbour?

Read the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25–37.

Ask together: Who noticed someone who needed help? What could kindness look like in our day?

Read Luke 10 →
Make room

Children are welcome

Read about Jesus welcoming children in Mark 10:13–16.

Ask together: What helps you feel welcome? How can we make room for someone who is new?

Read Mark 10 →
Care for one another

The lost sheep

Read the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15:1–7.

Ask together: What happens when one sheep is missing? How can we notice someone who feels left out?

Read Luke 15 →

For the grown-ups

Let children ask questions, disagree or take a break. Christian communities sometimes interpret passages differently. Read the surrounding text and distinguish what the story says from what you think it means.

Children do not need to create an account or share personal information to use this page. Read alongside them and choose any external websites yourself.
