How can you use Bible Verses?

- Use Bible verses as writing/journal prompts: Ask them to write a short essay about a Bible verse to help them think more deeply about its implications for their lives.
- Post Bible verses: You can post Bible verses where they will be seen/heard often – classroom, breakroom, lobby, dining room, email signatures, video bulletin boards, morning announcements, social media, etc.
- Read Bible verses aloud: You can read Bible verses aloud to your children during mealtimes, bedtime, or any other time you spend together.
