As the kids enter the room tomorrow evening, I will have them immediately get to work finding some Scripture passages using the Bible Bookmarks (from my book The Bible Blueprint) and their bibles along with the following worksheet which you can feel free to use.

2Corinthians (self-explanatory)
The 7th Trumpet: Revelation 11: 15
