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.
Every year part of our third-grade curriculum includes teaching children how to look up a verse in the Bible. In the past I’ve used fortune cookies with a verse from Scripture as the “fortune” to make the learning fun. We started out this class by handing out a Bible to each child and showing them the list of books of the Bible in the table of contents and finding where the Old Testament ends and […]
I always have “bell work” for children to begin as soon as they arrive in the classroom. These are short activities that engage early arrivals as the rest of the class arrives during the first 10–15 minutes. While students are doing their bell work, I can take attendance, check homework, hand back completed work, and attend to other tasks, like notes from parents. One of the easiest forms of bell work I have is Bible […]
My lesson for this evening picks up where we left off last week as we learned about God’s presence in Solomon’s Temple, in the Eucharist, and in ourselves. Tonight, we focus on how we recognize God’s presence in the Sacraments, respect God’s presence in others (this is part of our safe environment program) and reveal God’s presence to others through works of mercy. Session 21: The 3 R’s Big Idea: We are called to Recognize, […]

Hi – do you happen to have the answer sheet for this?
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)
Daniel in the Lion’s Den: Daniel 6
The Visit of the Magi: Matthew 2
Saul’s Conversion: Acts 9
2Corinthians (self-explanatory)
The 7th Trumpet: Revelation 11: 15
Joe,
Thank you for this.
Our faith formation program has been using the Bible bookmarks for a few years now.
We present Bibles to the 6th graders, teach them how to book mark the Bible, how to “decode” Book Chapter and verse. They are enlightened and actually read passages on their own.

Charlene, I love the “decode” reference!
