What do recipes, stories, projects, and hikes have to do with the Bible? Young readers, teenagers, and your family will find these things and more in The Bible Adventure Book of Scavenger Hunts: Plus! Crafts, Recipes, Activities and More... by Kelly Anne White. In this book are many fun adventures for either a group or your whole family to enjoy. Through this book, the author teaches the reader about all of the fun things that they can do, learn about, and play while at camp or at any other type of gathering. Anyone, especially your child or teenager, will love this book because as they go on an adventure, they will learn more and more about the Bible and its connection with nature. They will learn how to do different crafts, discover how to make several types of foods and beverages, and understand the importance of taking care of Mother Nature by picking up trash.

I enjoyed The Bible Adventure Book of Scavenger Hunts and particularly Chapter 3, Garden of Seedin , because of the central focus of the seed as it is stated in the Bible. The reader will discover the significance of the seed, from sowing and planting to its maturity in bearing fruit or a crop. The seed can be displayed with many facets, from being physically planted in the ground to a teaching moment in connection with the many parables, simple stories told by Jesus, that teach a spiritual lesson. This is an ideal way to get young readers or teenagers engaged in learning about the Bible in a subtle way. The author uses the NIV scripture verses to bring the message home. Add this one to your library today. --Vernita Naylor for Readers Favorite

Description

The Bible Adventure Book of Scavenger Hunts is jam-packed with loads of fun activities created around scripture verses all quoted from the New International Version (NIV).

The book features not only scavenger hunts, but also craft projects, easy recipes, science experiments, and other elements, with each chapter highlighting a specific Bible theme.

The scavenger hunts in this book are terrific for summer camps, youth groups, campground coordinators, homeschooling programs, family gatherings, and even birthday parties.

Most of the activities can be completed with any number of players, and leaders can organize for teams, pairs, or individuals accordingly. Plus, there's something for kids of all ages.

All of the scavenger activities contain other elements, such as fill-in-the-blanks, science projects, and color-by-symbols that can be completed independent of the hunt. Most also include easy-to-photocopy handouts.

The scavenger hunts can be fine-tuned to fit into any schedule or landscape. Detailed instructions and clues are provided.
