Do you find your kids complaining a lot? Or maybe they tend to speak carelessly, or even say unkind or mean things? They may know that their tongue is out of control, but they don't understand the importance of taming it.
Our Fruit of the Tongue Bible study is designed to help guide kids to an understanding that their words matter–to God and to everyone around them. While looking at Scripture, this study will:
This Bible study is available in 5 age levels from pre-k through parent and is meant to be done individually, then discussed together. (More on our family Bible study model here.)
Due to the extensive use of the "fun pack" stickers in the Pre-K Bible study, it is NOT available in digital format. We recommend you use the Primary level with this age group or purchase the softcover version.
Nothing will be mailed to you as this is a digital product. The Bible study fun pack does NOT come with the digital files. You can print off the file and staple it together. We like to use fun duct tape to secure the staples and keep them from poking.
If you'd like a softcover version, instead of digital, please click here.

What version of the Bible do you use?
I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this.
What do you believe?
I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
What age level should I buy?
This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please
check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!
How many copies should I buy?
If you are buying digital, you only need one copy of each age level you will be using. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc) you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on each product's page.
If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word. Please check out this video for more explanation on why this is so important!
How long are your studies?
Each Bible study is a slightly different length ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.

This has been a great tool to learn and teach about the importance of our words. I use the primary level for all my kids, they enjoy drawing about what we learn. We use it for our morning devotional time. I can't wait to try all of the other bible studies.
This has been so encouraging for me and give amazing tools to help our kids think about each other and learn to love and treat others better.
This has been a great study for both of us! I've learned just as much as my grandson has about how to use our words (good or bad). It has made him stop and really think about how he reacts to things, and that we should always try encourage each other .
Great content! This tool has been so helpful for teaching our kids the importance and power of words from a Biblical perspective.
The fruit of the tongue is a powerful message for children to learn from. Words can really hurt and children need to understand. My child has enjoyed this series so far.
In my opinion these are the best family Bible studies around. They are helping my family learn so much together. We have so enjoyed going through this one about the tongue. Not only do the kids learn, but I also learn right beside them.
As always, these family Bible studies can't be beaten. They're simple and effective with lasting effects. Learning the power of our words is vital, and this study teaches just that.
My family is learning a lot from this great Bible study.
One of my favorite Bible verses is Galatians 5:19-22.
So, I really love this lesson. It teaches our kids that things you say CAN hurt.
