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!

5th Grade - Hide the Word - Romans 14:19 - Balsa Wood

We love things that can be used for virtually every verse in the Bible.  Annnnd, we love things that are cheap!  This summer, I discovered this product at Hobby Lobby.  They are also sold at Michael's and at both places are under $1 per shape.   Balsa wood shapes that we have seen are circles, squares, rectangles, hearts, cross, oval, star, peace sign, scallop edge circle and square.

In class, let the kids write the verse with colored sharpies or glitter markers.  The markers bleed, so encourage kids not to press too hard.  When using the balsa wood, choose a shorter verse. You can also glue a ribbon loop on the back so they can hang it at their house.  This sample is a 6 inch circle.  When making an image under the verse, like a watermark, make sure to use a light color of ink for the watermark image and darker ink for the words.  Make sure you have a sample so that the kids can see the spacing.  


5th grade - Hide the Word - October - Romans 12:3

“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.” Romans 12:3 

This is another of our new loves... canvas!!  There are two kinds of canvases that you can buy.  At Michael’s they sell flat canvas boards in various sizes, like this, in a value pack.  There are normally 5 8x10 canvases for $7, but with a coupon, it was $4.50.  You can also get various sizes of wood-mounted canvases.  They come 2 for $5 before your coupon for the 4x4 size.  We have found that the flat canvas is better for kids to write on.  With the wood-mounted canvas, the canvas "gives" with the pressure of the pen and it is hard to write on.  Plus, the flat canvases are much cheaper! :)

The October example is to make a snaked verse.  Since the key concept of the verse is humility, we wrote “HUMILITY” big down the middle and made the verse fit around the key word letters in a snaking fashion.  This is the April verse.  It is simply written on the canvas with colored sharpies.   
 As with any project, the kids will like it even more if the medium is special... gel pens, Sharpies, glitter markers, metallic pens.
You can hot glue ribbon to back to make a hanger, by gluing one end of the ribbon to each top corner and tying a bow in the middle. These can also be displayed on an easel.  You can also paint with acrylic paint or stamp with stamp pads.

Romans general

We went over this poster at the beginning of each lesson. Would be good to do with any letter.

Romans 4

Romans 4 - Faith "walk in the steps of faith of Abraham"

Review Abraham/Isaac sacrifice story
Make a chart "Faith is..." (see in photo below)

Choose from these "walk/feet" activities:
1. Each child traces their own foot. On it write "I will walk in the steps of faith like Abraham." Could also use a stamp pad and stamp foot or paint foot (for the really brave teachers!)
2. Have footprints on the floor. Write one word of key phrase per foot. Kids walk on the line of footrintsa dn say verse each time.
3. Use foot hapes and tape in hall leading to classroom.
4. Samll Die cuts of feet - "Walk" written on one, "in" written on one, "faith" written on another foot. Kids swequence wrods to say "walk in faith." Glue on blank paper and decorate with self-portrait.
5. Buy dollar store frames. Kids draw a photo of thier family. At the top child writes "We will walk in the steps of faith of Abraham." Put in frame. (We did this and the parents LOVED it!!! Forgot to take a photo though - sorry! )
6. Each child traces their own foot - cut out. Make a class wreath of the feet. Walk "Walk in steps of faith" at the top on a bow shapes piece of paper.
