Bible Bee Posted in Daily Musings
I stumbled onto this today and thought that it sounded like such a wonderful idea - this could be something that you could do with your local homeschool or Sunday School group.
Here is an excerpt about what a Bible Bee is:
What is the Bible Bee?
The Bible Bee is a refreshing and motivating Bible memory competition for children and youth. It is very similar to a spelling bee, except contestants are required to recite Bible passages and facts rather than spell words.
To read more about this check out the Bible Bee website. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to have our kids say Bible verses the way that they can rattle of their spelling words (or songs from commercials)? This would even be neat to do in your own household and then have the kids and the parents participate in their own Bible Bee - when we memorize the Scriptures as well, we are leading our kids by example. I think when we do that (lead by example) it shows them just how important that particular thing is - for example how can we honestly expect our kids to write a letter if they never see their parents doing it??????

***IMPORTANT***: you need a percolator style coffee pot to make this.
DO NOT use a drip style coffee maker to make this syrup!!!!!
* Make one pot of coffee, then discard the grounds.
* Add fresh grounds, percolate again, with the coffee as liquid, not fresh water.
* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.
* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
