New Testament Vocabulary and Labels

Here is the vocabulary I included in my New Testament set to help kiddos learn terms as they read the lessons.

Here is a sample of what the New Testament Book cards from my NT set look like when printed. I hung up a large sheet of paper and we glued the book(s) we read about on each week as a growing list. I went back and added notes to each section (Gospels, Paul's letters, etc.) for clarity.

Revelation

I tried to spend a bit of time talking about how some things in Revelation sound confusing and scary, but we don't need to be worried or afraid.

Jude

Jude

1, 2, and 3 John

1, 2, and 3 John- I loved this lesson. The three letters are short and are pretty simple for your kids to understand.

1 and 2 Peter

1 and 2 Peter

James

James

Hebrews

This lesson talks about the ins and outs of angels, as mentioned in Hebrews. 

Philemon

Philemon

Titus

Titus

1 and 2 Timothy

First and Second Timothy

1 and 2 Thessalonians

First and Second Thessalonians

Colossians

Colossians has a lot of "don'ts." See if your kids can come up with a list of "do's" using information from this letter.

Philippians

You could have students write their own thank-you letters after reading Philippians!

Ephesians

For Ephesians, I included some things Paul wrote. Your older kids could take a box and figure out where in the book Paul says these things (They aren't word-for-word, so it's great to see if the kids can use a summary to find examples.)

Galatians

For Galatians, I focused on the question of salvation by faith, or salvation by faith and works.

1 and 2 Corinthians

All of the books that have multiples are included together. For Corinthians, information is located on the left and facts about the church in Corinth are written on the right side. I also noticed the kids love the extra graphics, so I'm trying to include more of those.

The clip art I use is Graphics from the Pond and Creative Clips. I use mostly KB fonts. All of it was purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers.

Romans

I thought "The Roman Road" would be a good conversation to have here, so I included it on the right side. The left tells about the book of Romans and what's going on at the time.

Acts

For the Book of Acts, the left side tells about the book and the right side talks about Paul's missionary journeys mentioned in Acts.

John

Here is the Book of John's lesson.

Luke

Here is the lesson on the Gospel of Luke. I use NLT (New Living Translation) for the most part, since it's written at a level most kids can read and understand. For older kids, I recommend having several translations available, so discussion about key words can take place.
