5 Bible Resources for Kids in Spanish!
/
During my first year of college, I spent 6 months studying in Guatemala. While there, I lived mostly on a little campus with about 8 other students, spent some time living with host families, and also traveled all over Guatemala. That time was full of sweet memories for me—taking chicken buses, meeting so many people (nationals, travelers, missionaries), volunteering, learning Spanish, walking the cobblestone streets of Antigua, seeing so much beauty (in the landscape and people!), and falling in love with the people, the language, and the country.
My time abroad launched me into the pathway of studying teaching English as a Second Language as well as as studying Spanish during my college years. Now, over twenty years later, those skilled I learned in college feel pretty rusty. But my love of language, learning, and the body of Christ in different places in the world still feels fresh and new. I have seen first-hand the value and need of having resources in your heart language. Over the years of running Color + Kindness, I’ve wanted to offer more resources in Spanish and have had a number of people as me if I would translate the resources into Spanish. As much as I wanted to, I knew that my Spanish was not at the level it needed to be to translate and write the resources in Spanish (unless I wanted it to sound like a 2nd grader wrote it—ha!).
But at the end of last year, Nathalia approached me and asked if I’d be interested in working with her to create some resources in Spanish. She saw a need and was curious if I was up for taking on the project. I thought and prayed about it—and since I had pressed pause on other projects, it finally felt like a good time to do it.
Together, we worked to create a new set of Bible Truth cards in Spanish and write up a simple Bible curriculum. Finally, it is out in the world! I’m so hopeful that it will bless and encourage families who use Spanish in their homes and are looking for solid Biblical resources.
But, there are a few other resources in the shop and free resources that include Spanish, so I wanted to share them in one blog post so that you can see what’s available (if you are on the hunt for some resources in Spanish!).
Scripture cards in Spanish. These are a great resource for memorizing Bible verses in Spanish. Bright, colorful, and full of lots of awesome verses—50 verses total!
Christmas learning game pack. This pack has instructions in English, but the printables for the games are in Spanish and English. This would be a great tool to use if you are a bilingual family or want to practice Spanish!
Bible Verse Coloring Sheets. These are the most popular free download on the site—so grab them in you haven’t! There are coloring pages with both English and Spanish verses.
Spanish Alphabet Cards. These are included in the curriculum too, but if you didn’t want to commit to a full curriulum, these are a great tool to use with your little ones. There is a letter and Bible truth on the front. On the back, there is a Bible reference to read as well as a verse to learn/read. Perfect for morning time or short family devotions!
Bible Truth Curriculum in Spanish. Although similar to it’s English counterpart, the Spanish curriculum is unique and fully in Spanish (everything from the guide to the instructions are in Spanish). This is geared for ages 3-5 and has so many play-filled and truth-filled activities and learning included!
I hope that this is helpful to you if you are hunting for some fresh Bible resources in Spanish! If you use Spanish in your home, what resources would you like to see?
