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. Take note that page numbers are different for every edition which is why I cannot provide an answer key. Likewise, this activity will only work if all of the children are using the same edition.
As we hear the Gospel of Mark proclaimed during this Year B of the Lectionary cycle, I’d like to point out a few resources that are available for your own enrichment or for use in a group.

Hi Doris, as I mention above, I can’t offer page numbers since those differ from edition to edition, but here are the Bible citations:
The Ten Commandments: Exodus 20
The Building of the Temple: 1Kings 6
Psalm 23 (self-explanatory)

The Visit of the Magi: Matthew 2
Saul’s Conversion: Acts 9
2Corinthians (self-explanatory)
The 7th Trumpet: Revelation 11: 15

Charlene, I love the “decode” reference!
