1st to 4th Grade Bible Learning Resources

Children need to be taught the word of God from an early age. Here are some Topics and Resources that can help. 

Dinosaurs 

  • Lapbook-Dinosaur-day-51.pdf This is a Lapbook that can be used with the following links. 
    • Dinosaur Definition
    • Being a PaleontOLogist: Mark Norell | AMNH
    • Kids Feedback: When Did Dinosaurs Live? | Kids Answers
    • Color the graph up to the right number for each dinosaur.
      • Tyrannosaurus Rex 40 feet
      • Iguanodon 33 feet
      • Triceratops 25 feet
      • Utahraptor 20 feet
      • Stegosaurus 25 feet
      • Velociraptor 6 feet
    • “Dinosaurs ate plants before [Adam and Eve sinned].  How do we know this?  God created the world and said it was “very good!”  Everything existed in perfect harmony.  We also know that all animals were vegetarians because of what we find in His Word–  Genesis 1:30, ‘And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, which has life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.’   Some scientists use the argument that dinosaurs had sharp teeth– therefore they ate meat.  However, today Giant Pandas and many other species of bears have sharp teeth (similar to large meat eating cats like lions), and they are vegetarian. After the fall, everything changed.  The world was no longer perfect as God had created it.  At this point it is possible that some varieties of dinosaurs became meat eaters.”

    The 12's Times tables Trick

    The 12's times tables have always been a little difficult to solve. My son and I was working on some math problems when I noticed that the 12's has an interesting pattern (see the above picture).  The answer in the one's place counts by 2's restarting at 0 after 8. The other part of the answer counts by 1's skipping the 6th number.  As you can see the pattern repeats quite well.  Did anyone else already know this? If so, please share in the comments.
