This may be considered a New Testament Bible Books craft but it only requires cutting, folding and gluing suitable for a large grade span. The Bible Books are numbered in sequential groups . Teacher - Every Sunday after this craft and activity, always leave out a completed Bible Book cube and the number cube for students to use anytime.Familiarity will increase recollection. |

Copy and distribute the activity sheet Make it easier on everyone - Go to our special page and review the cutting tips with the class before they begin cutting. And have everyone cut one section of the cube together with you to start. Children - even older ones - tend to put their scissors to an activity and keep on cutting. Show them the right way to use scissors to cut inside corners using the Cutting Tips. |

1. Cut the Book cube on the heavy line (note the cutting trick on the printed page) YOU ARE DONE MAKING THE CUBE! Memorize the small groups of names of the books. To put this in perspective, what city do you live in? What are residents of that city called? Example: If you live in Chicago, you are called a Chicagoan. Sometimes the residents - people who live there - don't know what other people call them! Group 5 is a mix. Titus and Philemon are people that Paul wrote letters to. The Hebrews are a group of people that Paul write a letter to. (Do you know the Hebrews by any other name?) James wrote a book too. Popular belief is that this James was one of the Apostles. Group 6 wraps it up. Peter the Apostle, wrote 2 numbered volumes (books) - volume 1 and 2. Now this is tricky: John wrote these 3 numbered volumes and opens them with the comment that he tells what he has seen and heard.
Questions: 1 All counted how many books are there under the name of John? (4) 2. How many books are in the entire New Testament? 3. Which books are known as the GOSPELS? 4. What does GOSPEL mean? CUBE 2 - THE NUMBER CUBE CHALLENGE Get and make the number cube--- roll the number cube and whatever number is UP, the roller must tell from memory what books of the Bible are in that group on the Bible cube! Follow instructions # 1-6 above if you are making the number cube. |
