Children’s Catechism Resources
These are the books and music I recommend alongside the Reformed Mama Children’s Catechism Activity Guide.
None of them are required to use the guide, but I’ve found them especially great for helping children hear the catechism in another way, connect the questions to larger theological truths, and keep learning enjoyable.

Ask Me Whoo Children’s Catechism Songs
One of my favorite ways to teach the Children’s Catechism is simply to sing it.
The Ask Me Whoo albums put the catechism questions and answers to short, catchy songs. They are especially helpful for memory work because children often learn the answers almost without realizing how much they are memorizing.
I’ve linked the individual songs throughout the Activity Guide so you can easily listen to the tracks that correspond with each lesson.
One thing to know: Ask Me Whoo follows the Great Commission Publications version of the Children’s Catechism, so some of the wording and question numbers differ slightly from the 1840 version used in my guide. I’ve already done the cross-referencing for you in each lesson.
The Ology by Marty Machowski
The Ology is one of my favorite theology books for children.
It covers big Christian doctrines in a way that is accessible to children without stripping away the actual theology. Throughout the Activity Guide, I recommend specific chapters when they pair especially well with the catechism questions being studied.
You certainly do not need to read the entire book alongside the curriculum. Just use the suggested chapters when they are helpful.

Big Truths for Little Kids by Susan Hunt and Richie Hunt
Big Truths for Little Kids teaches theology through short stories built around the Children’s Catechism.
This can be especially helpful for children who connect with ideas through stories. I’ve included chapter suggestions throughout the Activity Guide when a story lines up particularly well with the doctrine being taught.
Like Ask Me Whoo, this book follows the GCP version of the Children’s Catechism, so the numbering does not always match the 1840 catechism used in my guide. I’ve already matched the chapters by topic for you.

Do You Need All Three?
Not at all.
You can use the Children’s Catechism Activity Guide with nothing more than your Bible.
But if you want to add a few resources, I would think of them this way:
Ask Me Whoo for memorization and music
The Ology for clear explanations of theology
Big Truths for Little Kids for stories that reinforce the catechism
Use what fits your family, your children, and the season you are in.
One More Book I Recommend
In Lesson 13, I also used The Biggest Story by Kevin DeYoung so you might want to add this one too!
Using These with the Children’s Catechism Activity Guide
Throughout each lesson, look for the READ TOGETHER and SING AND LISTEN sections. I’ve already selected the songs and chapters that fit that lesson, so you do not have to figure out where everything lines up.
