Check Out New Location
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,

Thanks for your time and work in putting this website together. I look forward to visiting it often.
Hi Donna, You are officially the first person to comment on this new site. Thanks for taking the time to visit. Diana
Good job!!! I will be checking back for ideas. This will be helpful for those of us who have taught for years, as well as for those who are just starting out.
Love the website. We are beginning a study in Genesis and this will help me out tremendously. I will also be checking back often. Thanks for the good work and ideas.
So glad to find the new location, I was bummed the links on the old site no longer worked. Thanks for all you do.
I am very excited and happy to learn that you have created a new website! When you announced that the old one was shut down indefinitely I was disappointed. Fortunately, among other materials, I printed out enough copies of the “Mark Your Bible” leaflet to provide enough copies for the 7 in the class I am teaching.
Do you by chance have a “brief chronology of the bible” class that I might use for teaching the class here?
Thank you for all your hard work and sharing.
I too was sad to see the other site down, and then so excited to find this one up! I love, love, love your fresh ideas and precious songs. Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing it with so many. You have inspired me to be a better teacher to my children and to my bible class students.
I just discovered your blog. Do you have notebooks for the children’s memory work each quarter. I’m looking for new ideas for memory work. It seems as time goes by it is getting harder to get children and parents to do a memory verse for each week. I’m looking for new ideas to encourage both the parents and the children. I would also like to know how to find the link to the “Mark You Bible” leaflet. Thanks for all the hard work that you do.
Hi Wendy. Here is a link to the information I have online about the memory work my classes do: http://biblesongsandmore.wordpress.com/activities/memory/
and
here is the link to the Marking Your Bible you asked about: http://biblesongsandmore.wordpress.com/lessonplans/ladies-bible-class/a-study-method-for-marking-your-bible/

Hi Diana! I am looking for an example of a lapbook I can make to review the books of the Bible. I am sort of envisioning it in my brain…but sometimes have trouble getting it to come out right! haha. Have you made a lapbook or file folder game of this sort? I am thinking about having the little flip books for the books for each section. But I also want to make it interactive in someway…maybe velcro the books in order. Any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated! I teach 4th quarter (Deut, Josh, Judges and Ruth). I am very excited!!
Hi Traci, I haven’t done one on the books of the Bible yet but I did a quick search and found some links you might find helpful.
