Lauren’s Lists
There are a couple of good lists on here for families. One is a list of good board books for little kids. One is for some movies to watch together as a family with some themes to talk about after. And another is a list of books to read with your kids, even after they can read themselves.
Click here to see the lists from Lauren Early.
What Christians Should Know About Halloween
The first half of this article is a pretty in depth look at the history of Halloween. It’s definitely helpful if you are interested in that sort of thing. But you could also just skip to the second part. The second half of the article gives parents some helpful things to think about as you consider whether or not your family is going to participate in the holiday and if so, what that could look like [and it can help you talk to your kids about why].

What is Reformation Day?
The other October 31 holiday! This is an important day in church history and this article reminds us why. It’s good to help our kids learn about church history because it can help them see our faith as historical and understand how it has shaped history.

PODCAST: Luther in Real Time
I also mentioned a podcast in a sermon not too long ago that dramatizes important moments in the life of Martin Luther. They are not long and could be something fun to listen to with your kids to help them understand what happened. There is an October 31 episode in Season 1. Season 2 has also just started and includes discussion questions you could use as you listen.
