Why Manners Matter Bible Study: 7-Week Kids' Bible Study Workbook (Ages 6–8 & 9–12)

Help kids take what they're learning about manners and dig into God's Word for themselves!

The Why Manners Matter Bible Study is a 7-week companion to our Why Manners Matter kids' ministry series. Each week has five short days that go deeper into that week's Bible truth and memory verse. In about 10 to 15 minutes a day, kids open their own Bibles, look up verses, think about what God is saying, and find practical ways to live it out at home, at school, at church, and on a team. It's a wonderful way for parents to keep the conversation going and have meaningful talks with their kids about what they're learning.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he grows older he will not abandon it." Proverbs 22:6 (NASB)
