This is something even adults might like! But children of almost any age can color these, even older children and young adults, as I designed them with "adult coloring books" in mind, only far less abstract.

I've taken some of the most well-known memory verses from the Bible and created coloring pages. There are loads more verses in Proverbs and the Psalms, and endless others in all 66 books, but this is an inexpensive and familiar platform to begin with. I've used the NLT version, but if you want another version, I'll convert the provided verses at no extra cost.Just contact me.

This is included in my Christian Content Bundle!

Students will choose one of the following pages of scripture and create blackout poetry. They will select words to create a phrase that will be featured as their poetry. After creating the poem, they will color the rest of the page, leaving only the key phrases uncovered.

Students can create traditional blackout poetry and use a black marker to cover the rest of the page. They could also choose to draw a picture of the passion or resurrection over the words to convey more meaning.

The pages all contain words from Matthew 26 and 27 which tell about Jesus’ passion and death. There are different fonts available to give the students more choice in their assignment.

When I assign this project, I ask the students to use these sad words to create a positive poem, reflecting the glory of the resurrection, and then draw a resurrection image over the words. This helps the students reflect on the sadness of Jesus’ death, but also to focus on the purpose of His sacrifice and the goodness and grace that came from His death.

This Product Contains:

Assignment Description

Rubric

34 Pages for Blackout Poetry

This activity is a great introduction or follow-up to my Lent Bundle of games, guided notes, PowerPoint, and a test. I love to use this toward the end of the unit so students can reflect on the deeper meaning of all the content that we’ve been covering.

Objective: Reflect on the words of scripture and create a poem and artwork to communicate some of the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Choose a page of words from Matthew 26 & 27.

Create a poem by selecting words from throughout the page. Most poems will be about 10-20 words long. The poem does not need to rhyme—it will be free form poetry.

Feature the words of your poem so the reader will read your poem, but not the rest of the words on the page. You can leave your selected words blank, draw a box around each word, or color your poem in one color and color the rest of the page with other colors.

.

Cover the rest of the page with color. You could draw a picture covering the page, or ‘blackout’ all the other words on the page by neatly coloring the entire page with one color.

Additional Ideas for Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Collaborative Projects: Encourage students to work collaboratively to create blackout poetry on larger sheets of paper, combining multiple pages of scripture. This promotes teamwork, discussion, and a collective interpretation of the text.
2. Multimedia Elements: Integrate technology by having students use digital tools to create blackout poetry. They can use graphic design software, apps, or even incorporate audio elements to enhance their artistic expression.
3. Reflection Journals: Pair the blackout poetry activity with reflective writing. Ask students to journal about their choice of words, the process of creating their poem, and the emotions they experienced during the activity. This helps deepen their personal connection to the scripture.
4. Gallery Walk: Organize a gallery walk where students showcase their blackout poetry. This provides an opportunity for the entire class to appreciate and interpret the diverse perspectives and creative expressions of their peers.
5. Cross-Curricular Connections: Connect the blackout poetry activity to other subjects, such as history or theology. Discuss the historical context of the scriptures or explore theological concepts related to Jesus' sacrifice, making it a more interdisciplinary learning experience.

Benefits of Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Critical Thinking: Analyzing and selecting words for blackout poetry requires careful consideration and critical thinking. Students must delve into the scripture, discerning which words carry the most significant meaning for their intended positive message.
2. Artistic Expression: This activity allows students to express themselves artistically, whether through traditional blackout methods or by incorporating drawings and images related to the passion and resurrection. It caters to various learning styles.
3. Spiritual Reflection: Lent is a time for introspection and spiritual growth. The blackout poetry project provides students with a unique opportunity to connect emotionally and spiritually with the scriptures, fostering a deeper understanding of the Easter narrative.
4. Creativity: The open-ended nature of blackout poetry encourages creativity. Students can experiment with different fonts, colors, and artistic elements, making each creation a unique representation of their interpretation.
5. Integration of Technology: By incorporating digital tools, students gain valuable skills in technology and design while adapting a traditional concept to the modern classroom.

By expanding on the traditional blackout poetry approach, educators can elevate the impact of Lent blackout poetry, fostering a richer and more engaging learning experience for students.

What did Jesus look like? Discussing the race and ethnicity of Jesus can be a difficult topic, but this FREE poster will get kids talking about their personal image of Jesus. It shows various possible Jesus images created using Bitmoji.

This is a great accompaniment to the PowerPoint that will open up a conversation with your class and help them see that Jesus could have looked very different from the traditional image.

I also plan to use this Poster to start a conversation,then ask students to draw or color this image to reflect on how each student pictures Jesus.

Cultivate a heart of gratitude with this thoughtfully designed 30-day challenge devotional resource.  Perfect for classrooms, homeschools, or personal discipleship, this challenge introduces students to biblical principles about thankfulness while helping them develop practical habits of gratitude. Each day features a carefully chosen scripture passage and an engaging theme, encouraging reflection, prayer, and action.  With topics like The Power of Gratitude, A Sacrifice of Praise, and Thankfulness for God’s Provision, students will learn to recognize God’s goodness in every season of life.

This Gratitude 30-Day Challenge resource not only strengthens students’ spiritual foundations but also fosters emotional resilience, humility, and contentment.  It’s an ideal tool for teaching gratitude as both a spiritual discipline and a life skill.  Whether you’re a teacher, homeschool parent, or youth group leader, this challenge equips you with ready-to-use materials that will inspire meaningful growth.

Incorporating a Life of Gratitude in the Home:

Gratitude can transform the atmosphere of a home, fostering joy and unity. Families can create gratitude traditions, such as a “thankfulness jar,” where each family member writes something they are grateful for daily or weekly. Reading the notes together fosters connection and reminds everyone of God’s goodness.  Mealtime prayers can also emphasize thankfulness, encouraging students to reflect on the blessings of the day.  Parents can model gratitude by expressing thankfulness openly and praising God for both big and small moments, setting an example for their children to follow.

Cultivating Gratitude in the Classroom:

Incorporating gratitude into classroom routines can create a positive and encouraging environment.  Teachers can begin each class with a “gratitude moment,” where students share one thing they’re thankful for.  Gratitude journals are another simple yet impactful tool, allowing students to record daily reflections and scripture-based thankfulness.  Group discussions about the day’s devotional themes can also build a supportive classroom culture. Highlighting examples of gratitude from literature, history, or current events connects the concept to real-world applications and inspires students to see gratitude as an actionable part of their lives.

Practicing Gratitude in the Homeschool:

Homeschool settings offer the unique opportunity to weave gratitude into both academic and spiritual lessons.  Students can create gratitude art projects or write thank-you letters to people who have blessed their lives. Families can explore the biblical origins of thankfulness by studying characters in the Bible who demonstrated gratitude during trials, like David, Daniel, and Paul.  Incorporating nature walks or quiet moments of reflection allows students to express gratitude for God’s creation, reinforcing thankfulness as a way to worship.  Homeschool parents can further encourage gratitude by helping their children see God’s hand in their education and everyday life.

BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS/HOMESCHOOL PARENTS:

• Ready-to-Use Resource:  Simplify lesson planning with a complete 30-day challenge featuring daily scriptures and themes.
• Flexible Integration:  Easily adapt the challenge for individual devotionals, group discussions, or journaling activities.
• Engages Students Spiritually:  Encourage meaningful conversations about faith and gratitude.
• Promotes Character Development:  Supports teaching life skills like contentment, humility, and emotional resilience.

BENEFITS FROM STUDENTS:

• Biblical Understanding:  Deepen their knowledge of gratitude as a core biblical principle.
• Emotional Growth:  Learn to use thankfulness as a shield against anxiety and negativity.
• Personal Reflection:  Daily prompts encourage prayer, journaling, and practical action.
• Faith in Action:  Discover how gratitude transforms relationships, attitudes, and their outlook on life.

The Gratitude 30-Day Challenge is more than just a devotional—it’s a lifestyle guide that equips students, teachers, and homeschool parents to make thankfulness a cornerstone of their daily lives.  By intentionally incorporating gratitude into homes, classrooms, and homeschools, this resource encourages lasting spiritual growth and joy.  A life rooted in gratitude not only brings glory to God but also creates a ripple effect, positively impacting relationships, communities, and the world.

Use these My Favorite Scripture Note-Taking Sheets to write out your favorite scriptures is a powerful way to engage with God’s Word on a deeper level.  When you take the time to write, you slow down and focus on each word, allowing its meaning to sink into your heart and mind.  This practice creates a moment of stillness, offering an opportunity to reflect on how the scripture applies to your life and spiritual journey.  Writing can also make scriptures more personal and meaningful, transforming them from words on a page into truths that resonate in your soul.

This practice helps improve memory retention, making it easier to recall scripture in moments of need.  Studies show that writing things down activates different parts of the brain compared to just reading or listening. When students write out their favorite verses, they’re not only reflecting on God’s Word but also reinforcing their ability to remember it.  This can be especially helpful when facing challenges, as they can draw strength and guidance from scriptures committed to memory.

Writing scripture also encourages mindfulness and intention. As students select their favorite verses, they’re guided to think critically about what speaks to their heart.  The act of writing becomes an exercise in meditation, helping students dwell on God’s promises, wisdom, and guidance.  This practice can transform a simple note-taking activity into a meaningful spiritual discipline, fostering a deeper connection with God.

For students, writing out scriptures fosters a personal relationship with the Bible, helping them see it as a source of guidance and comfort.  For teachers and homeschool parents, it’s a simple yet impactful tool to encourage engagement and reflection.  Over time, these written scriptures become a treasure trove of inspiration that students can revisit whenever they need encouragement or a reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Lastly, writing scripture builds a habit of spiritual journaling that can grow with students as they mature in their faith.  This habit helps them create a record of how specific verses have influenced their lives, serving as a spiritual timeline they can look back on. It’s a practical way to cultivate gratitude, reflection, and growth, all through the lens of scripture.

BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS/HOMESCHOOL PARENTS:

• Simple Implementation:  Easy to integrate into Bible study lessons or morning devotion routines.
• Encourages Focus:  Guides students to thoughtfully engage with scripture rather than passively reading.
• Spiritual Growth:  Helps students reflect on the application of God’s Word in their daily lives.
• Teaching Tool:  Offers a structured activity to teach the importance of scripture memorization and meditation.
• ❤️ Family Connection:  Promotes meaningful discussions about favorite verses and their impact.

BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS:

• Memory Retention:  Writing helps commit scripture to memory for use in prayer, reflection, and life challenges.
• ✍️ Creative Expression:  Note-taking allows for personalization through doodles, highlights, and reflections.
• Spiritual Reflection:  Encourages students to think deeply about why a scripture resonates with them.
• Engaged Learning:  Combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles for a well-rounded approach to scripture study.
• Emotional Comfort:  Provides a sense of peace and encouragement through focused interaction with God’s promises.

These My Favorite Scripture Note-Taking Sheets pair perfectly with the My Identity in Christ: 7-Day Teen Mini-Devotional, creating a comprehensive faith-building experience for teens.  As students reflect on the devotional’s daily themes and journaling prompts, they can use the note-taking sheets to write out scriptures that resonate most with their hearts.  This combination reinforces key spiritual concepts, encourages deeper meditation on God’s Word, and provides a personalized way for teens to document their faith journey.  Together, these resources help teens build a strong foundation in Christ while fostering a meaningful, lasting connection with the Bible.
