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!

An Ancient India Escape Room activity about the birth of Hinduism in the region. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the activity is perfect for group work, starting a new ancient history topic, team-building activities or for a fun, engaging and interactive lesson. The activity can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills or in Social Studies.

The activity has been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room.

Included in this resource:

• Student guidelines for completing the tasks meaning no teacher prep
• A student answer key to complete as they work through the tasks
• An informational text or reading comprehension passage
• A true or false fact sheet & maze
• A crossword puzzle
• A timeline activity & answer key
• A wordsearch puzzle
• Teacher answer sheets for each task

⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻

In Task 1 students will read an informational text about Ancient India and the birth of Hinduism and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word.

In Task 2 students will use the same informational text to complete a crossword puzzle. Within the puzzle there are several hidden letters which will need to be unscrambled on the completion of the puzzle to reveal the second word.

In Task 3 students will have to cut out 27 timeline task cards before putting them in order from the earliest date to the most recent. When they have finished their task they can glue them onto the answer key which will reveal their third word.

In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word.

Students can then complete their student answer key with the four words they revealed before checking with the teacher to see if they have escaped successfully.

•This resource is a great tool to help students build their understanding of vocabulary, topics, and people. Students can work independently or with groups and discuss “what is the best” or “who would win” as they work their way through the bracket.

•The thought and discussion will lead to deeper understand of the person or vocabulary word. The learning is in the discussion, not the conclusion.

•Be creative about the prompt you give to students. Examples are included, but feel free to make adjustments. Perhaps your students will have fun debating which Gift of the Holy Spirit is strongest in their favorite cartoon character.

•There are brackets with the topic and prompts completed as well as blank brackets that you or students can complete based on the current topic/lesson.

•There is also a writing page so students can process their discussion and practice putting their ideas into more formal language and writing.

This is a zip file with a PDF that is ready to use and a PowerPoint file that you can edit to add your own topics.

These topics have pre-made brackets so you can print and teach!

• Liturgical Calendar: Ordinary Time, Lent, Advent, Easter, Christmas, Holy Week, Holy Days of Obligation, Daily Mass
• Fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Chastity, Self-Control
• Gifts of the Spirit: Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Fortitude, Piety, Fear of the Lord, Counsel

Incorporating a debate graphic organizer into your classroom not only encourages critical thinking but also fosters collaboration among students. As they engage in discussions, students learn to articulate their thoughts clearly while considering opposing viewpoints. This approach helps them develop essential skills such as reasoning, persuasion, and respectful discourse, which are invaluable in both academic and real-world settings. By utilizing this graphic organizer, educators can create a dynamic learning environment that empowers students to explore diverse perspectives on various topics, including the lives of saints and significant events in the liturgical calendar.

This debate graphic organizer is designed to adapt seamlessly to different subjects and themes, making it a versatile tool for any classroom. Whether focusing on the Fruit of the Spirit or comparing the significance of various sacraments, students will find the brackets engaging and easy to use. This flexibility allows teachers to customize the prompts based on their lesson plans, ensuring that students remain interested and invested in the discussions. By allowing them to contribute their ideas and topics, you can enhance their connection to the material and encourage ownership of their learning experience.

Discussion starters are essential for igniting meaningful conversations in the classroom. The prompts included in this resource are designed to provoke thoughtful analysis and reflection on key concepts, such as the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. As students debate which gift resonates most with them or their favorite characters, they not only deepen their understanding of the gifts but also explore their personal values and beliefs. This connection between faith and learning is particularly beneficial in Catholic education, where discussions about saints and virtues can help students internalize their faith and grow spiritually.

Encouraging students to use the writing page included in the zip file allows them to reflect on their discussions in a more formalized way. Writing helps consolidate their thoughts and enhances their ability to communicate effectively in written form. This exercise complements the verbal debates and serves as an excellent opportunity for teachers to assess students' understanding and writing skills. By incorporating writing assignments alongside the graphic organizer, educators can create a holistic learning experience that encompasses multiple modes of learning and expression.

Finally, this debate graphic organizer serves as an excellent resource for integrating technology in the classroom. The accompanying PowerPoint file allows teachers to customize their lessons easily, making it a fantastic tool for remote learning or hybrid classrooms. With pre-made brackets and editable prompts, educators can tailor the content to suit their students' needs and interests. By embracing modern teaching methods, you can foster an engaging and interactive learning atmosphere that keeps students excited about exploring topics related to Catholic saints, liturgical seasons, and essential virtues.
