Teach your kids with this hands-on the Armor of God Bible study and lapbook! Your kids will remember their studies forever.


The Armor of God Bible Study and Lapbook

When my boys were little, we used to practice putting on the armor of God every morning before school. My boys loved their little Armor of God Bible study. Really, what boy doesn’t love imagining themselves as a knight or a soldier? It was something they enjoyed, and it gave us an opportunity to talk about spiritual warfare. It was a fun little Armor of God lesson.

As we “dressed” in our armor, we’d talk about each piece mentioned in Ephesians 6:10-20. We would talk about what they stood for and how they could be used. I always emphasized that our armor was a gift from God–one given to those who believe in Jesus. Their favorite piece of armor was the Sword of the Spirit. We gave our children Bibles early on, and we’d talk about how they had their very own sword–they just had to open up their Bible and read it!

Studying the Armor of God with my kids is a very special memory, and I wanted to recreate that in some way for you. You can study the Armor of God with your kids using the Armor of God Bible Study and Lapbook. Take a look:

How to Print and Use the Fruit of the Spirit Lapbook

To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.

The Armor of God Bible Study and Lapbook
You’ll want to print the My Armor of God Bible Study and Lapbook single-sided on plain printer paper using color ink. In your lapbook pages, you will find step-by-step instructions on each minibook and activity, explaining how to assemble each.

You can watch a quick tutorial for the Armor of God lapbook above, at the beginning of this post.

The Armor of God Bible Study and Lapbook will give your child hours of thoughtful Bible study, with visuals they’ll never forget.


Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible

Love the Bible for Kids | A resource you'll love!

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible. 

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!

A Crash Course in Teaching the Bible to Your Kids

Danika Cooley’s book, Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible, will give you the tools and confidence to study the Bible as a family. It will help you identify and overcome your objections and fears, give you a crash course in what the Bible is all about and how to teach it, and provide the guidance you need to set up a family Bible study habit.

You will finish this book feeling encouraged and empowered to initiate and strengthen your child’s relationship with the Lord through His Word.

      Hi, Kimberly. There’s a classroom license. If you purchase that from the dropdown menu on the product page, you’ve got the right license for a co-op class. 🙂
