Bible & Snacks

By Judy Cox

On a selected day, one student brings in snacks for everyone. Another student selects a chapter of scripture to read while everyone eats their snack. A schedule is posted for the entire year for who is responsible which week. Students usually choose the week of their birthdays to bring in the snack. After the reading, students raise their hand to respond in any way to what has been read.

This works well because:

1. While eating, the kids are a "captive audience" to the scripture being read.
   
2. The scripture reader doesn't have to prepare a "devotion," just read!
   
3. We get to hear a "chunk" of scripture in context, instead of just a verse or two.
