Activity Ideas
"When I Read the Scriptures"- a poem to read out loud- can make up simple hand actions
The Scriptures- Use these flowers and glue pictures of scripture stories to them (or cut out trains, cars, animals, etc). Glue the flowers on paper or attach pipe cleaners and make a bouquet. More ideas below the flowers.
Search the Scriptures- A fun find the hidden objects pictures but can use as just a coloring picture.
I Can Gain a Testimony by Searching the Scriptures- another coloring page but a girl this time.
Search the Scriptures- Color and make the bookmark- its something different anyway...you can tell them to use it when they read scriptures as a family.
The Words of Christ- Do activity as is or use the scripture cut outs to make a fun necklace or bracelet- punch holes, string on yarn, even use fruit loops or straws for in between.
Comfort and Courage from the Scriptures- A David and Goliath Dot-to-dot but could just color and more activity ideas below.
I Feel Reverent when I Read the Scriptures- Use as coloring page or make a mini booklet with other pictures mentioned here or draw your own. Bring stickers for them to decorate the blank pages if you want.
The Power I Get Each Time I Read- I put this one in because I love the song, Scripture Power, but the bookmark can be fun then you can give them stickers to put over the boxes for fun.
The Scriptures Show the Way- Make scripture puppets! Tell the scripture story using the puppets (glue on a stick or straw) then let the kids take one home or make a few for all.
Scriptures are Like Packets of Light- Poster- make it into a puzzle or use with the lesson

The Scriptures are the Word of God
