Free Bible Math Puzzles - 5th Grade Up

by Robert

Feb 1, 2011

Dear Christian educator,

I am a retired math teacher, a Christian, and have been creating and publishing Bible math puzzles for about 11 years.

When solved, the puzzles yield an answer from the New Testament.

Most of my monthly recipients are day school Christian teachers in the USA and other countries. Also, recipient...See More

april Robert,

I would love to have some of these puzzles to use. We are a new church plant and at this stage in our growth we only have resources for 1 class of Children's Church; I am looking for something for the older children to work on during the church service while they sit with their parents. Thanks!!

My mother volunteers her time to teach Art class at our little Catholic school. She has seen how busy our teachers are and knew that this has to be happening at other schools, so she has developed a website designed to help these busy teachers with Art projects for FREE!! Please enjoy her website. She would love, if you "have time" to leave comment...See More

Zodea I teach at a private Catholic High School in Iowa. We occasionally get student teachers. We also get a lot of students in for 5 or 25 hour observations. Strangely enough the social studies department has seen far more student teachers then the science department.

Because I teach biology and physics (strange combination) I fear I'll never g...See More

PsyGuy Here in Texas its not uncommon at all for students to do some or all of there observation at a private school, in fact its a common compare/contrast approach used for a paper to compare public school and private school. I don't know of any colleges/universities that place student teachers in private schools for student teaching EXCEPT when the scho...See More

My second grade...as in every grade I have taught, do activities to dramatize Palm Sunday, Maundy (Command) Thursday and Good Friday.

I also do lead up activities that include science projects such as making a crystal garden and imagining we are in the garden with Jesus.

We do the palm branch waving...we make the branches and children take turn being Jesus and riding a stick donkey that I have made.

On Maundy Thursday we replicate the Lord's supper with grape juice and matzos, putting our desks in a long line and a candle in the middle...and all the lights are out.

We also wash each other's feet...I match the children up, have them bring their own towels.

We have all school devos Mon.,Tues. and Wed....short time in church at the start of the day and do the 11:00 service for Thursday and Friday. We have found that with the 11:00 services on Wed. during Lent, also, seniors come because many don't like to be out in the evening for the dinner (before each Wed. Lenten service) and the hymn sing and 7:00 service.

For seasonal events, I also make my own word searches on a free online wordsearch site. That way I can customize it for our faith concepts/words.

I customize my calendar for the week with a mini palm branch for Palm Sunday, a chalice for Thursday and a black cross with a red heart for Friday. For Easter, I have made a large rock out of const. paper, with a brad. that has a stone that may be moved away. There is nothing behind the stone. Children speculate beforehand what is behind the stone. When they discover "nothing" I say, "exactly!" and then we do the lesson about Jesus was no longer in the tomb, but had arisen.

I have a set of "Resurrection eggs" with symbols of Holy Week. These are good for teaching, as well. I would think if you had a set of those, you could use them for a Good Friday lesson together with classes.

You might also screen and have an all-school showing of an Easter Story DVD.

Time is getting short. I hope you get some ideas....Do you have student choirs? You could do an all-school chapel with singing.

Blessings to you....

OP I will be working with the 5-8th graders. We are going to the church for the opening, many of the kids are not Catholic and we wanted them to see the changes made for Good Friday. I think Father is going to come to explain some things to them. We may do a stations of the cross, with the kids walking around the church to get a closer look at the sta...See More
