3rd grade - Galatians 6:2 worksheets - Hide the Word

Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

Here are the worksheets for Galatians 6:2.

The first page is a sheet to illustrate the verse.
The second page in the packet is an idea sheet for Galatians 6:2. We used this idea sheet when we taught this in a class, so it's a little longer than other idea sheets.
The third page in this packet is a service project homework coupon. Each child takes home one (or more) of the coupons. They fill out the coupon, and bring it back to class for extra homework points or a small prize.
Finally, the fourth page is a box you can create to help the children learn the verse. You can use this as a "roll the blank" game. Follow the link for the instructions to this game. It's super easy to do in class or at home.

First Grade - Hide the Word - May - Proverbs 12:18 - Roll the Blank Game


“Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” 
Proverbs 12:18

This is a GREAT in-class game that can be used for any verse from grade 1-5!  Talk about versatility!!! It is also super cheap and easy to make.

Before class, make the game board.  You have a few options… you can print it out on white paper and have the kids write with a pencil on the paper.  Or you can laminate them and then let the kids write with a dry erase marker so that you can use them from year to year. They could also be slipped into a plastic sleeve like you would use in a binder.  The you keep the cube and marker all in the same sleeve.



Purchase the wooden cubes at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s.  For the first grade version, I used 1 inch cubes.  If the verse is longer, then you may consider larger cubes.  Write a verse phrase on each side of a wooden cube. 

To play the game,  the child rolls the wooden dice and writes the phrase he rolled in the appropriate blank on the worksheet. The child continues rolling until all the blanks are filled. If he rolls a blank he has already filled in, then roll again.

5th Grade - Hide the Word - February - "Roll the Blank" dice game - Romans 15:1-2


“We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.  Romans 15:1-2 

This is an in class game and is SUPER fun!!! To make, copy the game board, which is simply six blanks and a verse reference.  This is another game that can be used for virtually any verse in the Bible.   You can copy on card stock and laminate or simply copy of plain paper. If it is laminated, then the kids can use dry erase markers to write on the game board and then play over and over.  If you copy it on plain paper, the kids would take it home that day.  

Before class, divide the verse into 6 phrases.  Write one phrase on each face of the the cube.  We used 1 inch cubes that were purchased in a value pack bag at Hobby Lobby.  You may want to consider 1.5 inch cubes if you have big handwriting.  You will also need to sue the ultra fine Sharpie marker. 

In class, the kids roll the dice.  Then they write the rolled phrase on the corresponding blank on the game board.  They keep rolling the dice and filling in the blanks until the verse is complete.  If they roll a verse phrase they already filled in, roll again.  

This is what I call "sneaky learning."  The kids say the verse no less than 10 times while doing this game.  That kind of repetition makes it "stick" in your brain and writes it on your heart!
