This school year, we are working through The Virtue Training Bible. Our virtue of the week was Courage. We definitely had fun with this one! Here are a few activities that we accomplished.
We started with our Courage Notebook printable (link below). J looked up the definition of courage in the dictionary. She wrote the definition under the Courage header.
We discussed courageous people in the bible and read about the fiery furnace. J created a furnace scene using tissue paper and glue. She included the angel in the furnace. This idea came from Meaningful Mama (link below).
This is her finished product. We put an electric candle behind the furnace scene to represent the flames. I love her angel!
She colored her Courage ring card. We read the verse all week. Be strong and courageous....
She watched the videos from Character First (link below) while coloring the badger sheet.
We read through the Bible verses and marked them with the correct highlighter and colored tabs. Our Bible is becoming pretty colorful.
We read about David and Goliath. J drew a pictured of Goliath on a sheet of paper complete with helmet and silly grin.
I hung it on the wall as far up as I could. I found some sling shots at the Dollar Store with soft balls. J tried her best to ping Goliath in the head like David did.
We had fun with this. J informed me that she chipped his tooth! When my olders were young, we did this same activity but we used large, wet marshmallows....and tried it outside. The marshmallows were fun but the ants afterwards weren't.
J's Courage ring card added to her other virtues. She is starting to decorate her letters more.
Here is her Courage notebook page. We will add courageous people from the Bible as we learn about them. On the back of the page is her Bible verse mini book and the Courage checklist. If you would like the Courage printables, you may download them below. Hope they help you discover the trait of Courage. If you have any problems, please let me know. Also, I would love to hear about it if you are using these:) Have a great day.
