Back to school is a time that is packed with so many emotions for both kids and parents. No matter if you homeschool, public school, or even hybrid school- the new start of a school year is such a special time for everyone involved!

Children have a little nervous excitement as the day grows near and parents have those bittersweet tears that hit all too close to home. And while there’s no instruction manual for times like these, thankfully, as Christians, we’ve got both a Comforter and a roadmap!

I don’t know about you, but the Bible is always my source of strength and peace, and I try to teach my children to find that same consolation in it, too! Which is why I use every moment I can to instill a little bit more of God’s word into their lives. 

What better way to do that than with scripture memory work and journaling? And for this special occasion, these Back to School Scripture Memory Work and Journaling Pages are FREE and are a great way to ring in your first few days back to school!

Back to School Scripture Memory Work and Journaling Pages

Why is scripture memory work important? 

Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t know what to do? Maybe someone asked you a hard question about life or a struggle that they’re having. Did you ever need a little encouragement or pick me up? 

That’s what God’s word does for us, it’s what it is to us. It is our source of peace, comfort, encouragement. It’s our guide through life and our answer to life’s conflicts. It’s is quite literally God’s thoughts, prayers, answers, and instructions for us. 

That’s why it’s important to read it, to learn it, and to know it. Because in those hard times, we can remind ourselves of those scriptures and actively apply them to our situations in life. Scripture memory work is that foundational application that allows us to do this. 

What a contentment you can find when you know that your children are filled with the Lord’s Word!
