We're great at reading to our kids every night before bed. It's one
of those things Derk and I both love to do with them. I've tried
to work in "bible story" time but for one reason or another it
doesn't stick. We visited with good friends ours who we've
been in a small group with for almost 10 years. They have
an after dinner family ritual where they read a bible
lesson together. We've joined them in this ritual a few
times over the years when we've eaten with them.

After our recent visit with them Jalen asked if
we could read a bible story after a meal and so we have.
We are using My First Hands-On Bible...I highly recommend
this book, as it has interactive suggestions throughout the kid friendly
length readings. In addition, it offers probing questions that translate
the story to real life, a prayer and various follow on activities. It keeps
our kids attention and what's best is this ritual was kid requested!
