Homeschool Bible Activities "bearing with one another and forgiving each other"

The 12 short written activities based on Colossians 3:12-14 are geared for upper elementary to adults, and include fill-in-the-blanks, word jumble, sentence jumble, a crossword puzzle and a word search. There are also many other activity sheets, including: a word maze, bubble letter coloring pages, letter tracing pages, puzzles, cut-and-paste ordering activities, and a verse wheel.

Bible verse activities for every learner! Upper elementary, middle school, high school, and even adults- the whole family can work on these activities together. Younger elementary children can also be included because of the simpler activities geared for them. I use these activities with my own children- a 1st and 5th grader. It's great for homeschooling!

Depending on your speed, memorize one Bible verse passage per month, or one passage per week.

How to memorize Bible verses is more than just repeating it over and over. That can get a little boring! Repetition is important for Bible memorization, but staying interested and motivated is equally important. It can be difficult for children to stay focused on memorizing scripture, but who are we kidding? It's difficult for parents, too!  That's why I made these activities. The writing activities are appropriate for the readers in the family: from upper elementary to adult. The trace and coloring pages are great for younger children. This way, everyone in the family can study the word of God together!

Colossians 3:12-14
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. 14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
