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.

A Very Prayerful Monday
This past Monday turned out to be a very prayerful evening and a good way to begin Advent with my 6th graders! We met in church for the Advent Prayer Service which I put together a couple of years ago. I love when the bell ringers (hand chimes) call the assembly to order by slowing walking down the aisle and sounding their chimes. It really creates a sense of reverence and all the kids quieted down beautifully. […]

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 […]
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!
