Kids love adventure and variety. Be careful not to fall into a rut, following the same pattern over and over again in your Bible time. With young kids, consider buying or renting some animated Bible story videos and using them as a special once a week replacement for the regular Bible story or reading. Use a Bible storybook on CD-ROM for a few nights or consider using a different Bible storybook or Bible. Or sit in a different spot- in the kitchen, for example, having some milk and cookies- while you're reading the story.
With older children who are reading on their own, variety may be even more important. Offer to read to them every once in a while. Rent a movie such as The Ten Commandments or suggest alternative Christian literature for a change. Try calling the whole family together to read a Bible story or portion of the Bible. If at any time your children start to get bored or begin to lose interest in the process, examine your presentation and change what you're doing or mix in some variety to bring the excitement level up again.
