The ACN School Team have been working on  a series of daily resources which we hope will be helpful to all those working to teach children from home during the Covid-19 lockdown and will also be useful in primary classrooms once schools have reopened.
 
Please share your school community’s engagement with our initiatives on Twitter  @ACN_Scotland and Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/acn.scotland.office

Child’s Bible Resource
 
This suite of resources will be based on  God Speaks to his Children, the ACN Child’s Bible. This little red book contains 99 chapters of paraphrased stories from the Old and New Testaments. It was first produced in 1979 and we have now distributed over 50 million copies (in 190 languages and dialects) to children all over the world.
  
Each weekday from Easter Monday (13 April) we shall be releasing an online resource based on one chapter of the Child’s Bible, this can be accessed via our website  https://acnuk.org/resource/childs-bible-project/ and social media platforms. Each day families can download:
 

• A video of someone reading a chapter aloud (Bishops, priests, sisters, educators and prominent Catholic lay people have taken part).
• A short child-friendly reflection on the chapter and a few talking points to encourage further discussion at home.
• A themed activity (a worksheet, puzzle, game, challenge, craft, drama, etc.
