Fruit of the Spirit study (lapbook pictures)

I had been wanting to do a Bible study about the fruits of the Spirit. So when I saw the lapbook idea, I decided to go for it.

We learned a lot when we made our first lapbook . The one lesson we learned was to take our time and spread the work out as long as needed. This time, I used someone else's idea instead of trying to create from scratch. But this time I printed out everything and we worked on each part a little at a time.

We worked on our Fruit of the Spirit lapbook for about 2 1/2 weeks or so (all material and ideas from:http://www.lapbooklessons.com/FruitoftheSpiritLapbook.html) .


Here are the boys gluing and decoupaging...

Playing the memory game...

We printed, cut, and decoupaged this board game to to a file folder. I used key rings to mount the question cards to the folder so that they won't get lost.

Game question example:

"A kid at church is always getting picked on by other kids. They call him names and throw things at him. How can you show kindness?"

If you answer correctly you get to move...

This is a pocket in Justin's folder where we keep the memory game:

We are currently using our books to memorize the verses under each fruit and study what it means to be filled with the Spirit.

The fruit of the Spirit

I just love using Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary. When you look up a word, it provides not only the definition of the word, but also a Scripture reference. Most of the Scripture references for the fruit of the Spirit were found in the dictionary. I only changed one or two references because I had a preferred Scripture verse for a particular definition (for example, I like Hebrews 11:1 for "faith" because it seemed to define faith better than what was in the dictionary).

The site administrator for the dictionary has updated the site with a comparison of the 1828 with the 1913 edition.


Love:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind -
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Matt. 22.

Joy:
I will joy in the God of my salvation. Hab.3.

Peace:
Great peace have they that love the law. Ps.119.

Longsuffering (Patience):
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in goodness. Ex. 34.

Gentleness(Kindness)
mildness of temper

Goodness:
The Lord God--abundant in goodness and truth. Ex.34

Faith:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1

Meekness (gentleness):
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth Matthew 5:5

Temperance (self control):
Moderation; particularly, habitual moderation in regard to the indulgence of the natural appetites and passions.

Fruit of the Spirit study day one

We are in revival this week, so I am doing a Bible memory study with the boys instead of heavy schoolwork. Here is my link for resources I am using (so I can refer back).

We are cutting and pasting right now. I will add some pictures later on, Lord willing.

The boys think this video is hilarious:
