How can you use Bible Verses?
- Start a discussion: Bible verses can start a discussion about a character trait at the beginning of a meeting or the dinner table. You can ask questions about what it means, how they have seen the trait demonstrated in their own lives, or how they can develop it themselves.
- 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.
- Make it fun: You can make it even more fun by incorporating games, activities, or crafts. Let children decorate signs with Bible verses to hang in the classroom or a bedroom door. Record children saying it and post it on social media.
