Tiny & Strong – Helping Preschoolers Grow Through Chat, Play and Read

Tiny & Strong: Helping Preschoolers Grow Through Chat, Play & Read

Get ready for a meaningful and fun family experience! We’ve created this easy-to-use lesson designed just for you—no teaching experience or Bible expertise required.

Every child’s journey to strong language and communication skills starts with simple, everyday moments—a chat, a game, a story. The Better Health Start for Life campaign, supported by the National Literacy Trust and government departments, encourages parents and carers to embrace these moments to boost their child’s early development.

One of the fantastic resources available is “Tiny & Strong”, a beautifully designed activity guide that helps families engage their little ones through interactive storytelling, role-playing, and creative discussions. Inspired by the natural process of growth, it encourages children to think, explore, and imagine—helping them develop both emotionally and intellectually.

How This Resource Helps Families

Our preschool lessons are designed to make learning the Bible a joyful and engaging experience you can share together!

Chat – Talking about seeds, their shapes, and how they grow sparks curiosity and builds vocabulary.

Play
– Acting like a seed and pretending to be a farmer brings learning to life through movement and fun.

Read
– Exploring parables like the Sower and the Mustard Seed introduces meaningful storytelling and early literacy skills.

Reflect
– Thought-provoking questions help children relate to the idea of growth, both physically and spiritually.

Pray
– Simple prayers encourage gratitude and faith, nurturing both heart and mind.

These simple activities nurture young minds, strengthen family bonds, and lay a strong foundation for future learning. Whether it’s through storytelling, play-acting, or even planting a seed together, every moment contributes to a child’s growth.

Enjoy special moments as you chat, play, read, reflect, and pray together as a family.
