This visual aid was created to illustrate the cyclical and repetitive pattern of how the Israelites abandoned God and how God punished them. The Israelites would cry out for help and God would raise up a judge. The Israelites would repent and fall back into sin with the cycle repeating. This was completed during a collaborative effort during a teacher’s church worknight. The judge graphic (source unknown), was enlarged on poster board and enhanced with chalk, visually representing the various “judges” on the “cycle”. The accompanying text, was mounted on patterned scrapbook paper, provides additional information about the Israelites. This visual tool hangs on our wall during the study of the book of Judges.

To help our students memorize scripture, we created a visual aid using a simple open-book pattern. We enlarged the pattern onto the poster board, added chalk for a 3D effect, and laminated it for durability. We added magnets on the back allowing it to be displayed year-round.  Students can interact with the book during pre-class activities, arranging the memory verse in order or reciting it aloud. This engaging tool reinforces learning and makes Scripture memorization enjoyable.
