I have taught the Beatitudes to my Bible class but the method below was actually used with my children at home. It is very similar to the notebook method used with the poetry memory work. The difference is there is something to do each day of the week (Tuesday-Friday). There are boxes at the bottom of each week’s page that the child can either color in or place a sticker on when he complete that activity. On Friday, the older kids are expected to either type or write by memory the entire passage they have learned so far. The younger kids are asked to write by memory the portion they learned that week then draw a picture that will help them remember what they learned. Both of these activities can be adjusted to suit your needs or the ability of your student. The older kids memorize the Beatitudes through verse 12 while the younger kids just memorize through verse 10. There is also an activity that can be used throughout the time this passage is being memorized. Click on the links below for the pdf files.

I have moved my website to a new address. Please check it out: Bible Songs And MoreA Little About Me
I have a passion for teaching others about Christ. It is a privilege to share His story with others and especially children. I am a Christian, the wife of a gospel preacher and the mother of 6 children. The first Bible class I taught was when I was a teenager in Amarillo, TX. That was a long, long time ago. I have taught many children’s and ladies’ classes since then. I have had my share of successes and my share of failures. I have learned from watching others teach, from listening to others talk about teaching and from getting in the classroom and teaching myself. One of the things that has helped me the most is observing other teachers — the way they interact with the children and the activities they choose to cement the lesson of the day in those little minds. I know there are lots of Bible class teachers that are searching, just like I am, for good ways to improve their teaching and make the short time spent in Bible class as productive as possible.
Over the years I have accumulated material that has been helpful to myself and others. I would like to share it with you. The internet makes this so easy to do. No longer is there a need to compile a manuscript and hope a publisher somewhere will want to publish what I have to say. No longer is there a need to invest lots of money in publishing the material myself. Instead, I can start a blog/website that can be written/updated/corrected all from the computer in my kitchen. What an opportunity.
I hope that you will find here something that you can take to your classroom and use or even inspire you to do something similar or, even better, improve on, for use with your students. At Bible Songs and More you will find:
* Original children’s songs
* Folder activities
* Bulletin boards
* Project folders
* Lesson plans
* Teaching TipsFeel free to use any material on this website with your own children and with your Bible class. If you would like to use them on a larger scale, please ask. If you find any errors (and I’m sure there are plenty), feel free to email me and let me know about them.
I hope you enjoy your visit here,
