Valentine’s & Love Day 2

Print out the Bible memory verse coloring sheet and have your children color the picture. Sit with your children while they are coloring and talk about what they see in the picture (see questions below if you’d like some ideas). Your discussion will lead into the Jesus Picks His Disciples story you will read later together.

Questions to ask if you like:

• Who do you see in the picture? (Men in a boat and one man (Jesus) standing)
• What are the men doing in the boat? (Fishing)
• The man that is standing on the ground, do you think he wants the fishermen tofollow him? (Yes)

  This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:

  “The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Luke. When you find Luke in the new testament look for the number 5 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see 5:10. We are looking for verse 10, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 5.”

  After looking at the Bible show them “Luke 5:10” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!

  After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.
