3rd Grade - Hide the Word - January - Ephesians 4:31-32

This is the mail-out game for January.  To prepare, die-cut 10 hearts per child.  They can be any color combination.  Write verse phrases on each heart.  If you look closely, you will notice that the first 4 hearts are very crumpled up and the last 6 are crisp.  This is to symbolize that the first few are "trash" and the last ones are "treasure." Place in a verse labelled baggie and mail.

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - October - Ephesians 4:23-24

 This is the mail-out activity for October.  It can be prepared in several different ways.  This sample is done with the Mini Accents purchased from a local teacher store.  Most teacher stores also sell small notepads that you can use.  You can also die-cut or Cricut butterflies.  I liked using the Mini Accents because they are colorful and made of thicker card stock.  They are about $2.50 for 36 butterflies.

To prepare, decide which butterfly shape you want to use.  They write a verse phrase on each butterfly.  Since these kids are fluent readers, you may want to only put one or two words per shape.  Place in a baggie with the scripture reference written on it and mail.
