Our goal at Bilingual Together is to encourage and resource families of any faith to pursue raising bilingual children. For this reason, our Morning Time Plans are faith-neutral ​so families of any faith can use them to increase Spanish exposure in their home.
That said, we ​love the Bible, and over the years I have found wonderful resources for studying the Bible together as a family. Here, I’ve included ​six of those resources that are available in many languages!
​​Six Multilingual Resources for Bible Study with Kids
​1) ​​Questions With Answers
​​Dana Dirksen is the ​voice of Songs for Saplings - a non profit organization that is providing music that clearly communicates Scripture and its rich truths in clear, memorable and very enjoyable ways. The Questions with Answers project consists of six albums ​that are available in many languages. Each track makes it fun and easy to memorize the catechism and corresponding scripture verses. We use these songs in our Morning Time.

4) ​​Jesus Storybook Bible
​The Jesus Story Book Bible is a work of art. Sally Lloyd-Jones beautifully ​tells the redemption story from Genesis to Revelation through key Biblical stories. At the end of each story she points the listener to Jesus. Just as beautiful as the language are the captivating illustrations by Jago. This Bible is an excellent first Bible for children, though my older children still enjoy these stories. ​It is ​available in 38 languages.

With so many images to support the text, it makes ​the reading experience more approachable for many beginning readers or children whose minority language reading skills are not as advanced as their majority language. The Action Bible is available in 29 languages.
