Our Virtue Training Bible

Here's our newest homeschool adventure! We're going to put together a Virtue Training Bible. It's a kit that allows you to transform any Bible into a topical reference guide about 42 different virtues. Here's the index page that shows all the virtues:

I don't know how others use this tool, but here's what we're planning to do: Each week, I'll let the girls choose one of the virtues to study. This week they chose joy. Each day, we will look up several of the verses referenced under that virtue's tab. We find the verse, read it aloud, highlight it in the matching color and add a page tab in the matching color. Over the course of the week, we will have a pretty good sampling of scriptures which discuss joy or rejoicing.

I think perhaps others may make their Virtue Training Bibles FOR their kids, but I am finding that it is a learning experience for the girls to look them up on their own. And getting to use the highlighter is, well, a highlight... I'm going to tell myself it's good that my girls can still be impressed by something as simple as playing with a highlighter... I think what it really means is that they have been deprived of arts and crafts experiences by their decidedly non-artsy-craftsy mother.
