Christian Halloween

For so many Christians, Halloween is a time when they struggle.  There’s always the battle of is it alright to celebrate Halloween or not.  For me, it’s never been an issue.  I grew up trick-or-treating and still have just as strong, if not stronger faith.  My belief is that Halloween only has to be as demonic as you make it.

I have two blog reader exclusives for you today that might help bring the Christian spirit to your Halloween.

The first is a treat bag with 2 Corinthians 4 on it.  It uses an adorable cross in the pumpkin patch graphic.  Print 2 copies and glue together.  These would make great treat bags to pass goodies out to trick-or-treaters, take to a church fall harvest event, use in a Christian school, and there’s so many other ways to use them.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the bag….

The second item that I created to share is a seed packet.  The adorable graphic on the front says “Christians are like pumpkins”.  The back features the poem to the same title on the front.  I put pumpkin seeds inside of mine and passed them out to the kids in my class so that they can spread…..and grow….the Christian spirit.  These could easily be passed out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween to spread the word, shared a church harvest festivals, and used for so many other events.

I have one more goodie!!  Wednesday after my religion class, I posted the craft that I did with my class on my family blog.  It’s the “Pumpkin Prayer” and it’s based on the book by Liz Curtis Higgs.  I’d like to also share it with you, so if you go to this  post, you can read about it and download it as well.

I hope that you and yours have a very happy, safe, fun, and blessed Halloween!!  Please remember that I always appreciate your comments and feedback on the materials that I create. Also, I’d love it if you’d vote for my blog by clicking the button below too….thanks!!

Bible Showdown

I decided to go back to my creative “roots” today.  As some of you know, I got my start making games by creating Christian/religious games.  Sadly, I haven’t shared any since I started the new blog just for my printables.

The game that I’m sharing today is “Bible Showdown” and 2 player or teams play this one head to head.  This game was made in 2008 and I’ve never changed it because I was always really happy with how it turned out.  The 2 players or teams move around the board if they “know the verse” and “know the Bible”.  This game is definitely for the older crowd.  You can adjust it to suit your needs by making your own cards.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the parts of this game….

If you’re interested in Bible Showdown, please just…..

 

Please be sure to download ALL 3 parts of this game.  If you don’t, you won’t have the complete game!!  I’ve updated this game, so it’s just one big file now and although it might take some time to download, it should be easier to manage.

If you’re going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).
