Here’s what you do:

Prepare a list of words that your children can look up in their concordance.  (By the way, I will assume that your children know how to use a concordance.  If they do not, now is the time to teach them.)  I have started you off with a list below.  You will also need a writing board of some sort up to which a child can come and write down Bible references.

Divide your class into 2 teams.  It would be best if every child has their own concordance, but if a team needs to share, that is fine.  Designate a child from each team to be the writer of the reference of the Bible verse that is found and supply them with a piece of chalk or other writing utensil.

Explain the following to your children: It is God’s desire that we have a great love for His Word, the Bible, just like the psalmist has in Psalm 119:97.  One way that we can grow to appreciate and love God’s Word is by learning how to use the concordance.  The concordance is a great tool that can help us look up verses by topics. For example, if you would like to learn what the Bible has to say about love, you can look this word up and see all the great verses that contain the word “love.”

Continue to say: Today we are going to play “Cool Concordance Competition.”  I will write a word up on the board along with a book of the Bible.  On the word “GO”, your team will work together to find the word within the book I have given.  For example, if I write the word “light” and the book “Psalms”, you will need to find the reference of a Bible verse from the book of Psalms that contains the word “light”.  Psalm 4:6 is an example of a possible verse.  Once your team finds a reference, the designated writer must come up to the board and write it down.  The first team to write a reference on the board for the word and Bible book given, will earn 100 points for their team.

Here is a second part to this fun Bible school activity:  Another 100 points can be earned by seeing which team can find the Bible verse first in their Bibles.  Once again, I will say “GO” and the first one to show me they have found the verse will earn 100 points for his team.

List of 7 possible concordance words:

Light in John

Darkness in Isaiah

Faith in Matthew

God in I Samuel

Heaven in Revelation

Neighbor in Proverbs

Power in Acts

Here’s what you do:
This game will take some preparation, but your kids will be blessed by your effort. Prepare 2 identical sets of 18 different picture cards of foods found in the Bible. (I have provided you with a list below.) Make your cards about 2”x 2”. Laminate them for long-term use. Place one set of the cards in a bucket out of which the kids will pick. Take the other set of cards and divide them into 2 sets of nine and place each set in a 3 x 3 grid on a table or in a pocket chart. Have the list of questions ready that are found below. You are now ready to play the game.

Here’s how you play:
Divide your class into 2 teams. Begin by saying much of the same that I said in the opening of this article. It’s a nice opener for the game. Each team will get a bingo grid that they are trying to get 3 in a row on. Let a child come forward and answer one of the Grocery List Questions. If he gets it correct, he gets to take out a card out of the bucket and match it to one of the cards on either grid. Hopefully, the card will match a card on his team’s grid, but it might match the other team’s grid. This is OK. In fact, it makes the game a little more fun and competitive. Play alternates between the two teams. The first team to get 3 in a row, wins.

List of Foods: (Just a sample)
Cinnamon, garlic, dates, olives, nuts, raisins, beans, cucumbers, onions, bread, corn, fish, quail, pigeon, goat, lamb, butter, cheese.

Grocery List Questions:
When asking the question, read the verse and say the word “blank” for the missing food.

We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the (________), and the garlic: Numbers 11:5 (onions)

This verse is talking about the Israelites when they were wandering in the desert. They were complaining about the food situation and were remembering back to days when they at least had this kind of food that looks like a ball and when people cut it, it often makes them cry.

What Bible food is it?

And it came to pass, (that) David…brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and (__________)…2 Samuel 17:28 (beans)

If you’ve ever gone camping, you know you must pack food for your journey. This verse shows a time when David was camping out in the wilderness in the land of Gilead. One of the foods they brought for their campout were these tiny little things that when cooked become kind of mushy and people love to put them in their burritos with cheese.

What Bible food is it?

Then Jacob gave Esau (________) and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. Genesis 25:34 (bread)

Poor silly Esau! If only he had cared more about the things God had given him, such as his birthright, than thinking about his stomach, this Bible story might have turned out differently! Jacob gave his brother a pot of stew and this doughy food that is often used to make sandwiches.

What Bible food is it?

And he took the seven loaves and the (________), and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. Matthew 15:36 (fish)

How was Jesus going to feed all the people who came to hear him speak with only seven loaves of bread and this food that is often caught with a pole and a worm on a hook? He fed them by a miracle!

What Bible food is it?

These are the (animals) which ye shall eat: the ox, the (________), and the goat… Deuteronomy 14:4 (sheep)

In the Old Testament, being a child of the Lord meant that you could only eat certain things. This verse shows a partial food list of meats they were allowed to eat. The missing meat comes from an animal that is not known for its intelligence and likes to say, “Bah” a lot.

What Bible food is it?

Surely the churning of milk brings forth (________), and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife. Proverbs 30:33 (butter)

This Bible verse uses a yellowish food that is often added to popcorn at the movie theatre. This food is smooth, but wrath or anger is not. It’s better that you stir up this food rather than a bad temper.

What Bible food is it?

Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like (_________)?Job 10:10 (cheese)

Poor Job! God allowed him to go through a lot of hardships. No wonder he felt like God was poking him and forming him into this kind of food that is often served with crackers in many different varieties, such as cheddar and swiss.

What Bible food is it?

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? or if he shall ask an (________), will he offer him a scorpion? Luke 11:12 (egg)

This verse shows that God will always give His children what is best. He is our Father. Would a good father ever give his child a scorpion if he asked for this kind of food that is often scrambled in the morning and served with bacon?

What Bible food is it?

And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat (________) and wild honey… Mark 1:6 (locusts)

John the Baptist must have made an interesting dinner guest – especially if he ever requested this kind of food which is really just a green hopping insect that was also one of the plagues found in Exodus. Do you think they were crunchy?

What Bible food is it?

And thou shall not glean thy vineyard, neither shall thou gather every (________) of thy vineyard; thou shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:10 (grape)

After the Lord led Moses and the children of Israel out of Egypt, he had a long talk with Moses and gave him a list of do’s and don’ts. This Bible verse shows how God wanted his children to take care of the poor and stranger by leaving some of this food on the ground for them to take. This food is often found in clusters and grows on vines. They are usually green and purple.

What Bible food is it?

Moreover the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, “Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet (_________) half so much… Exodus 30:23 (cinnamon)

While the children of Israel were in the desert, God commanded Moses to build a tabernacle where God could dwell. God gave detailed instructions of how he wanted it built. He even wanted this sweet brown spice, which is often used with sugar to make ooey gooey rolls to be a part of His dwelling place.

What Bible food is it?

But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of (________). Genesis 19:26 (salt)

Lot’s wife had a difficult time trusting in God. Because of her lack of trust, she turned into this white food that is often a spice on every kitchen table. Be careful! Don’t put too much on and don’t look back when God tells you not to!

Here’s what you do:

This game can actually be played indoors or out.  If you are cooped up in your classroom all the time, you might want to grab a piece of sidewalk chalk and head outside.  Otherwise you will need to make the following grid, I will describe, on your floor with some masking tape.  Make a 12-square grid, but then put a 13^th square right in the middle.  I suggest making the grid about 1.5 yards long and wide.  Next, label each square, except for the middle one, with one word from Romans 3:23 along with a point value of 200, 300, or 400.  The middle square gets a point value of 500.  There are 12 words in Romans 3:23 including the reference.  Do not place them in any kind of order.  They should look scrambled on the grid.  Finally, grab a beanbag or some other object that will throw and land nicely on the grid.  You are now ready to play the game.

Here’s how to play:

Before beginning the game, say the following:  Have any of you ever shot an arrow?  (Wait for responses.  If no one has shot an arrow, ask if they’ve

ever seen someone shoot an arrow.)  I’ve shot an arrow and I hardly ever made the bulls eye.  I always missed the mark.  Did you know that’s kind of what sin is like?  It’s like missing the mark or falling short of where you should be – where God wants you to be.  Romans 3:23 says this: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  This verse means that we are all sinners and we all miss the mark at times and do wrong things that displease God.  Let’s play a game called “Missing the Mark” to help us memorize this important Bible verse.

Divide your class into 2 teams for this Bible school activity.  Give a child from the first team the chance to throw the beanbag.  He should try for the middle square.  If he succeeds, he must look away from the grid and recite Romans 3:23 by heart.  If he does so correctly, he earns 500 points for his team.  If he lands on a square with a word on it, he can earn the points on that square by saying the verse while looking at the grid.  However, before he says it, you the teacher, must erase the word in the box.  Play continues to the next team.  Eventually, it will get harder to recite the verse as the words are erased.  On any turn, if the beanbag lands on a square whose word has already been erased, then the teacher erases a different word on the grid, but the child only earns the points of the original square.  The team with the most points wins.

Here’s what you do:

Before playing the game, you will need to do a little preparation.  First, take a stack of index cards and write one word each from Psalm 119:105.  Put the reference on a card as well.  Place these cards face out either on a pocket chart (this is my choice) or on a table in mixed up order.  Finally, make sure you have the list of Bible pairs ready, which I have provided for you down below.  You are ready to play the game.

Here’s how you play:

Begin by saying the following:  Who can tell me what goes with salt?  (Wait for response of “pepper.”)  Who can tell me what goes with spaghetti?  (Wait for response of “meatballs.”)  You guys are great!  You know common everyday pairs, but do you know the pairs that come from the Bible?  For example, what goes with Noah?  (Wait for response of “ark” or “flood” or something comparable.)  That’s right!  Now how about the word “lamp”?  (Wait for response.)  That one’s a little harder.  Maybe our Bible verse that we are going to memorize will give you a little hint.  It’s Psalm 119:105 and it says this: “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”  Now who can tell me the pair that goes with lamp?  (Wait for response of “light”.)  Super!

Today we are going to play a game where your team will have to guess some pairs in the Bible in 30-second intervals.  For each pair you get right, your team will get 100 points.  At the end of 2 rounds of guessing (each team gets to have a turn), whoever has the most points will get 30 more seconds to place our Bible verse all scrambled here in perfect order.  If the team is successful, they will earn an extra 100 points.  We will play several rounds.  By the way, if you cannot think of the pair fast enough, you can say, “Pass” and I will go onto the next pair.

Tips for Success with this Bible School Activity:

You will want someone to be the scorekeeper and someone to keep time.  When you say the first part of the pair, add on the word “and” afterwards.  Only accept the pair that is on your list as a correct answer. You can reuse the pairs after going through the list.  Scramble up the words of the verse after each attempt.  Pick one child from each team at a time to play the game and let the rest of the class know they must be quiet and not shout out any answers.  Finally, have fun!

Noah and the ark

Joseph and his coat of many colors

Abraham and Sarah

Here’s what you do:

This game takes some preparation, but your kids will appreciate the time you spent.  First, you want to make 5 large dice.  I went to my local box store and bought 5 – 7” cubes.  I then went on my computer and created some nice words: way, truth and life.  Place 2 of each word on each die.  Therefore, each die will show 2 of each word.  Next, make 12 cards. Four will say “Way”, four will say “Truth” and the last 4 will say “Life”.  Place these in a bucket or hat.  Now, have ready your list of multiple choice questions found below.  Finally, before playing the Bible review game, have the children memorize John 14:6.  The faster they memorize it, the better their team will do.

Here’s how to play:

Divide your class into 2 teams.  Show the class the dice and show how each die has the words: way, truth and life on them.  Have one child come up from the first team.  Let him pick out a card from the bucket.  This card will tell you what type of question to ask.  If the child answers correctly, let him roll each of the 5 dice.  He wants to roll as many of the word that he picked out of the bucket.  For example, if he picked a “Way” question, he wants to roll as many “Ways” as he can.  For each “Way” he rolls, he gets 100 points for his team.  Finally, he can earn an extra 100 points if he can correctly recite John 14:6.  Play until both teams have answered the questions.  The team with the most points wins.

Way Questions

Proverbs 4:11 says this: “I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.”  Life can be difficult sometimes.  It can be easy to lose your way and get lost and forget what’s really important.  This verse says that God will guide you with His wisdom so you’ll always know what to do and where to go.

God will guide you with His:

1. seeing eye dog
2. lies
3. wisdom

Isaiah 30:21 says this:  “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”  This verse shows that God will never steer you wrong.  If you will only listen to Him, He will show you the right and true ways to take in your life.

God will:

1. show you the right and true way
2. get you lost every time
3. forget to ask for directions

I Corinthians 13 is the famous chapter on love written by the apostle Paul.  The Bible says in I Corinthians 12:31 that love is the most excellent way to follow.  The Bible also says that God is love.  So, it makes sense to always follow God who is the most excellent way.

God is:

1. love
2. uncaring
3. not worthy of following

Proverbs 14:12 says this: “There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death.”  It’s important to understand that you will not always know which way to go in life.  In fact, life can sometimes get very confusing.  You might think you know the right way to go, but until you get God’s direction, you better stay put.  Not following God can lead to danger.

Not following God:

1. can get you all the ice cream you want
2. can lead to danger
3. is the best thing to do

Truth Questions

Psalm 43:3 says this: “Oh, send out your light and your truth – let them lead me.” Is there any leader in your life that you follow?  Maybe it’s your mom or dad or teacher.  You probably follow them because you trust them to be truthful and honest.  God wants you to follow His truth.  You can always trust Him to lead you in the right direction.

God wants us to follow:

1. His angels
2. Dishonest people
3. His truth

Proverbs 12:19 says this: “ Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed.”  Have you ever told a lie and were then found out?  Unfortunately, most of us can say,”Yes”, to this question.  Here’s another question.  Have you ever noticed how things that are true are told over and over again through every generation whereas most lies fizzle out over time?  For example, it is true that God made you, God loves you and God will always take care of all your needs.  These are truths that will never go away, but will always stand the test of time.

God’s truth will:

1. eventually become lies
2. always stand the test of time
3. make me grow wings

In Isaiah 30:11, there were some stubborn people who didn’t want to hear the truth of God.  Instead, they were willing to hear lies!  God‘s truth made them uncomfortable.  God’s truth might make you feel uncomfortable too sometimes, but I hope you’ll always remember that when God speaks truth to you it’s because He loves you and wants what is best for you.  Never ignore God’s wonderful truth.

Sometimes God’s truth might make me:

1. feel uncomfortable
2. fall asleep
3. have the hiccups

John 8:32 says this: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  Have you ever noticed how lies can get people’s lives tangled up in a mess?  God’s truth does just the opposite.  It frees us and allows us to live lives that are not only pleasing to God, but also pleasing to those around us.

God’s truth:

1. is not important to know
2. locks us up in chains
3. frees us to live lives pleasing to God and others.

Life Questions

Proverbs 8:35 says this: “For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.  But whoever fails to find me harms himself, all who hate me love death.”  This Bible verse is very clear in describing where true life comes from.  It can only come from God.  And when we find God our life will be blessed.

True life only comes from:

1. God
2. believing in yourself
3. taking your vitamins every day

In the book of Jeremiah 10:23, Jeremiah wrote this prayer:  “I know, O Lord, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.”  Jeremiah understood that even though he could walk and talk and breathe and eat on his own, every part of his life belonged to God.  And since his life belonged to God, he should let God lead his life.  Without God, you wouldn’t have a life.

According to Jeremiah 10:23, a man’s life:

1. isn’t worth very much
2. is not his own
3. belongs to the President of the United States

John 1:4 says this:  “In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.”  This Bible verse is talking about Jesus.  Jesus is both life and light for those who believe in Him.  For the Christian, our life does not end here on earth, but continues in Heaven forever and ever.

Jesus is both:

1. hot and cold
2. short and skinny
3. life and light

John 6:35 says this: “Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life.  He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”  Have you ever been hungry and thirsty?  Of course, we’ve all experienced growling stomachs and parched throats now and then.  But did you know that this Bible verse says that if we believe in Jesus we don’t ever have to be hungry or thirsty?  It’s not talking about real food or water.  It’s talking about all the things in life that really matter like love and friendship.  When we believe in Jesus, our lives will never go hungry for anything we need.

This verse is talking about:

1. believing in Jesus
2. spaghetti and meatballs
3. believing in ourselves to get what we need.

Game Tip: You will notice that some of my answers are silly.  I have found this to be very effective with my kids.  They are listening to the truth being told them as well as waiting for the “funny bone” line.

Here’s what you do:

This game takes some preparation, but your kids will appreciate the time you spent.  First, you want to make a large die.  I went to my local box store and bought a 7” cube.  I then went on my computer and created some nice colorful numbers, 1 through 6, and attached them on each side.  (Trust me.  You will use this die for many different games.  The kids love the big, fun size.)  Next, gather 2 sets of the following items of clothes: 2 hats, 2 shirts, 2 shorts and 2 pairs of shoes.  I went to my local thrift store and bought oversized items for real cheap.  Next, attach the following cards to each piece of clothing:  “compassion” goes on the hats, “kindness” goes on the shirts, “humility” goes on the shorts and “gentleness” goes on one pair of the shoes and “patience” goes on the other.  I put each set of clothes in separate buckets.  Finally, you might want to write on a board of some kind the following:  One equals compassion, two equals kindness, three equals humility, four equals gentleness, five equals patience and 6 equals Free Piece.  You are now ready to play.

Divide your class into 2 teams.  Pick one child from each team to be the one who is dressed.  Have them stand in front of the class.  Now say the following:  Name some brand names of clothes that you really like.  (Wait for responses.)  Why do you think those clothes are so cool?  (Wait for responses.)  Did you guys know that God cares about how you clothe yourself?  (Wait for response.)  Well, believe it or not, He does.  He cares a lot.  And I am going to prove it to you.  Listen to Colossians 3:12 which says, “As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”  I don’t think you’ll find any of these clothes at the mall, but you can find them by getting to know God and by becoming more like Him.  Today, we are going to memorize this Bible verse by playing a fun game called “Clothe Yourselves.”  Here’s how we play.  We have two teams and one from each team will eventually be dressed in all of the clothes that you see here. (Hold up each article of clothing.  The kids will get a kick out of seeing how big they are.)  One person from each team will get a chance to come up and say the Bible verse.  If he does so correctly, he will get to roll this die.  Whatever number he lands on, is the article of clothing he gets to dress his teammate in.  If a six is rolled, you get to choose a piece that is not being worn yet.  If you do not say the verse correctly, you sit down and the play goes to the next team.  The first team to get their teammate dressed is the winner.  Let’s have some fun!

Here’s what you do:

Before playing this game, you will want to introduce First Corinthians 15:16 to your class.  I present this in a militaristic way.  I even wear a soldier’s hat and say things like: “You’re speaking to a commanding officer!  You will address me as Sir!”  (Have the kids say, “Yes, Sir!”)  Then I say, “I can’t hear you!”  (The kids shout louder, “Yes, Sir!”)  I think you get the idea.  I then have them recite the verse several times in a loud soldierly voice.  Once you feel like the kids are beginning to know the verse, then you can introduce the game.

Divide your class into 2 teams.  Have them stand in 2 straight lines, about 15 feet apart, facing each other.  Bring out a ball and pick one team to start.  Each child should stand with their feet wide enough apart for the ball to go through.  They should also have their hands down to their sides in a soldier’s stance.  Give a child the ball.  Say the following, “Alright, soldiers!  Here are your orders.  Each team will get a chance to try and knock the other line of soldiers off balance.  Each team should do their very best to stand firm and stay on your guard just like our Bible verse says.  If a team successfully rolls the ball through the legs of a soldier on the opposite team, that soldier must say the Bible verse correctly.  If he does so, his team gets 100 points.  If he does not say the verse correctly, the team that threw the ball will get the 100 points.  By the way, you may not use your hands or feet to stop the ball in any way.  Your job is to stand firm.  Are you ready?  (Kids say, “Yes, Sir!)

Have the teams take turns rolling the ball.  Have someone keep score and by all means, stand firm during this fun Bible school activity.

Here’s what you do:

Prepare 48 cards about 2.5 x 2.5.  On the front of each card you might print a picture of the Wordless Book.  On the backs of 10 cards each, place one of these 4 colors: red, white, green and yellow.  On top of each of the colors, write a point value of 100 to 400.  On the backs of the eight remaining cards, place the black color with no point value.  Place all 48 cards front side forward on a pocket chart or a table for your whole class to see.  Next, get a basket in which you will put 2 each of the following cards: 2 black, 2 red, 2 white, 2 green, 2 yellow and 2 with all the 5 colors showing. Finally, have the list of prepared True or False questions found below.  You are now ready to play the game.

Divide your children into 2 teams and pick a child to be the scorekeeper.  Tell the children they are going to learn about the Wordless Book and what each of the colors means.  (If you have not done so already, take time to go over the Wordless Book colors one by one.  For this game I will assume you know how to do that.  If you are new to the Wordless Book, you can Google it to find out how to present it.)

Have a child come up from the first team. Ask him to reach into the basket and pull out one of the color cards. You, the teacher, will proceed to ask the child one of the True or False questions that match the color he chose.  If the child answers the true or false question correctly, he will then have the chance to pick up to 4 cards from the 48 Wordless Book cards.  Each card has a point value of 100 to 400 points.  There are also 8 black cards on the board.  If the child picks a black card, then all the points they have accumulated on their turn go to the other team.  The child does not have to pick all 4 cards during his turn.  He can stop if he is afraid he might find a black card.  Play until all 12 questions have been read.  The team with the most points wins.

Here are the Wordless Book Questions:

1. Dark – Romans 13:12 says this: “We need to set aside the deeds of darkness in our lives.”  Deeds of darkness are sins.  Sin is anything you think, say or do that displeases God.

True or False:  We need to get rid of the sin in our lives.

2.  Dark – Hebrews 12:1 says this:  “Let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles us and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”  Do you ever feel tangled up in your sin?  It seems one lie leads to another or one unkind word leads to a bad attitude.  The next time you feel tangled up in your sin, remember to go to God right away and ask Him to forgive you and set you free.

True or False:  Sin doesn’t tangle you up. It makes life smooth.

3.  Red – Hebrews 9:22 says this: “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”  It is very important that a Christian understands why Jesus died on the cross.  This Bible verse gives us the answer.  He died so that His perfect blood that He shed on the cross could forgive our sins.  When we believe this we are forgiven.

True or False:  Jesus HAD to shed His blood in order for our sins to be forgiven.

4.  Red – Revelation 1:5-6 says this: “To Him who loved us and has freed us from our sin by His blood, be all the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen!”  Isn’t it amazing that Jesus loved us so much that He willingly endured the pain of the cross so that the blood He shed would forgive our sins?  When we believe this, we are free from the deathly power of sin.

True or False:  Believing that Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of my sins does not free me from the power of sin.

5.  White – 1 John 1:9 says this: “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  Unrighteousness is another word for sin.  After we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, it is important to understand that we still might do wrong things.  When we do these wrong things we should go to God in prayer and confess, or say we are truly sorry for what we did.  We should also remember that when Jesus died on the cross, all our sins were washed away.

True or False:  When I do something wrong, I should confess it to God.

6.  White – A lot of people in this world think they can get rid of their sins just by being really, really good.  This is absolutely not true.  The only way you can get rid of the sin in your life is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior who died on the cross to forgive your sins.

True or False:  I can get rid of my sins just by being really, really good.

7.  Green – After we choose to believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we should have a desire to grow in Him.  Growing in God is as simple as GROW! (Spell out the letters). “G” stands for going to church.  “R” stands for reading your Bible and praying.  “O” stands for obeying God.  And “W” stands for witnessing to others about Jesus.

True or False:  Growing in God is as simple as SHRINK (Spell out the letters).

8.  Green – The green color in the Wordless Book reminds us that we can grow in God.  Once we become a Christian, we become a child of God.  The Bible says we also become His friend.  Growing in your friendship with God should be your #1 priority.

True or False:  Growing in God should be the last thing you ever think about.

9.  Yellow – The Wordless Book color of yellow should remind us of Heaven.  The Bible says that in Heaven there is one street made out of pure gold.  This will be exciting to see one day, but it can’t compare to the amazing fact that Heaven is where God lives.

True or False:  The Bible says that in Heaven there is one street made out of jellybeans.

10. Yellow – Earth is a wonderful place to live, but Heaven is a Christian’s real home.  Did you know that Heaven has rules?  One of the biggest rules is this: Nothing bad or specifically sinful can ever enter into Heaven.  Since “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” the only way into Heaven is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.

True or False: Nothing bad or specifically sinful can ever enter into Heaven.

11. Wordless Book Colors – The Wordless Book is an amazing tool that you can use to share God’s wonderful plan with everyone you meet.  There are no words in the Wordless Book, just 5 great colors.  And once you know what each color means, the Wordless Book definitely has a lot to say.

True or False:  The Wordless Book has 5 pages of words.

12. Wordless Book Colors – The Wordless Book has 5 beautiful colors that share the good news of God’s wonderful plan for you and me.  Dark is for the sin in our lives.  Red is for God’s blood.  White is for how Jesus made our heart clean from sin.  Green is for our growth in God.  Yellow is for Heaven.

True or False:  Each color in the Wordless Book tells of God’s wonderful plan for you and me.
