I Am Wonderfully Made

We just finished up our creation unit. I start them out with the days of creation and the next week, we go into how God made man and then rested. The following week, we do an “I am special” to go with God made me.

i am wonderfully made text

This year I’m used something that was new for me. I related it to Psalm 139:14, which states I am wonderfully made. This was so much fun and I loved having a verse that went along with the lesson. Here’s what we did….

We started by making our hand prints. I don’t know if they had more fun putting paint all over the hand or sprinkling glitter all over the hand print!

After they dried, we colored the frames around them and sent them home to share with their parents.

Next, we did a little writing practice by doing a tracing page.  I read the Psalm to them as they traced the words.

Again, I read the entire Psalm to them, then I read it sentence by sentence and they filled in the missing words.

With that hard part done, we moved onto the easiest part and that was the coloring page.

I have to say that the kids really enjoyed all the activities.  I’m so glad that I went this direction this year and I might just do it from now on!  If you’re interest in this activity pack, please check it out here or “add to cart” here….

A Christmas Present

I have something special, just for you my readers. I wanted to give you a present this year for following along and putting up with my sporadic posts and everything else!!

 

This is a 4-page coloring book for the nativity. It focuses on Luke 2 and Matthew 2. It’s just a small book….well, it’s more like pages, to tell the real story of Christmas. The focus of these pages are geared toward Catholic, as I used the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Any faith surely can use it though!!

The Good Shepherd

Last week, we worked on The Good Shepherd in my religion class.  I enjoy teaching this one to the kids to help them understand how loved we are.  We are protected by his love and his son, Jesus, died for us.

GoodShepherdSheepMatch worksheet&coloringpage byElaineG SAMPLE

I made 2 things for my class to use.  The first is a worksheet.  It’s to match Jesus and his sheep to a sheep on the page.  A line is drawn to match the 2 and then colored to match each other.  The next item is a coloring page.  It’s Jesus among the sheep with the verse from John 10:11 (NAS).

Z is for Zacchaeus

Well here we are at the final Color & Write page of the Bible ABC’s.  I can’t believe that the religious education school year is over.  But it is….today!!  I’ve had such a great year and I had fantastic kids.  They really loved these alphabet pages and I hope that your kids have as well.

This week’s page is “Z is for Zaccaeus”. This coloring and writing page for Zaccaeus is perfect for the Bible ABC’s, but could also be used with a Bible lesson on Jesus or Zaccaeus.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the yoke color and write page….

Y is for Yoke

Today, I normally would have posted the FINAL page to our Bible Color and Write ABC’s, but we didn’t have class last week.  The weather was just horrible and I literally lost count at how many times the tornado sirens went off.  Next week is our final religious education class for this year and it’ll also be the final post for these pages.

This week’s page is “Y is for Yoke”. This coloring and writing page for yoke is perfect for the Bible ABC’s, but could also be used with a Bible lesson.

Time is going so fast and it’s almost the end of the religious education year.  We have 3 more classes to go and 2 more letters of our Bible alphabet.  Amazing!!

W is for Wise Men

It’s that time of the week and I’m here with my new Bible color and write ABC page!!

This one is “W is for Wise Men”. I absolutely love this page and the way hubby drew it.  He gave each one different head gear and clearly different gifts.   This page could also be used in a lesson for Christmas, Epiphany, or other religion lessons.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the wise men page….

Back from Spring Break and although I expected to be able to post some new printable before now, I’m here with the newest Bible ABC page!!

U is for Unleavened Bread

Another week and another color & write page for the Bible ABC’s.  I can’t believe that we don’t have many letter left this year!!

This one is “U is for Unleavened Bread”. This time, they get to color a round cake of unleavened bread and a stack of square pieces.  I hope that this page is not only good for you with the Bible alphabet, but also other lessons and reviews.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the unleavened bread sheet….

T is for Ten Commandments

I’m so happy because it just so happens that my Bible ABC page goes along with my lesson today!!

This one is “T is for Ten Commandments”. The children will color a picture of the stone tablets with roman numerals on them. This page would not only be good for the Bible alphabet, but other Bible lessons and reviews.

Here’s a thumbnail view of today’s page….
