Sweet Treats of Scripture
A while back I saw an Instagram post showing a Candy Bible Verse Match-up Game. I took a screenshot because I thought it might be a fun activity down the road.
Then this summer one of our local Bible Quilters had an idea for a template design displaying candy, reflecting on the sweetness of the Lord.
I put these ideas together for an interactive activity at our monthly BQ session.
I printed up some of the "Sweet Treats" templates and shopped for the candy mentioned in the original Insta post by Olivia.
I also created a flip card set of the suggested verses so we'd have the scriptures readily available to play our matching game.
Prior to the session I poured candy into bowls and cut out the flip cards.

I put the flip cards into a stack and invited the October BQ session attendees to dive in!

We had such a fun time reading each scripture aloud and matching it with the candy. It led to a brainstorming discussion of additional verses and/or candy. (ex: a "joy" scripture paired with Almond Joy)

We each worked on different templates and even different BQ journals, yet we enjoyed the fellowship of creating with scripture and treating ourselves to a little chocolate along the way! 😋
Millie made an appearance and was a particular hit with our youngest Bible Quilter, who got started on her ABC Journal.

It's also a great illustration for a small Bible study group to discuss the scriptures and have the bonus of a few sweet snacks.
