My colored coded method of lessons

Krissa laughs at my color coded method for organizing my Bible lesson material for each day, but I have been doing it for a long time and it works great every year. Plus it makes it colorful and cheerful! ;)

Everyday is a different color and my lessons, Bible verse tabs, memory verse cards, games and notes all have the same corresponding color. I can tell at a glance what lesson each item corresponds to and the memory verse for each day.

Monday - pink
Tuesday - blue
Wednesday - green
Thursday - orange/red
Friday - yellow

This is Wednesday's lesson outline & notes, memory verse, review questions and wordsearch lesson review game. I guess technically it isn't all green since I printed the review questions on white paper instead of green, but I will use a green highlighter to highlight the topics.

My Bible is coated with color coded tabs with references. They are in the order I have them linked into the lesson and of course each color is for the day I will be using them.

Here are my notes that I typed up. I taped it to the back of the previous flashcard so I can refer to it as the kids see the picture on the front. I probably should have printed it on green paper too, but they are taped in the lesson so they are not going anywhere.

The flashcard picture the kids will see as I talk about the lesson.

What would I do without colored paper, cardstock, sticky notes and highlighters, I just don't know!! Dad doesn't know it yet, but the menu I am making for him with his list of meals next week is also color coded. I can just imagine the look he gives me when I tell him where everything is in the refrigerator and freezer! :)

And that is what exactly I am signing off to do...finish Dad's menu and list of chores for next week to do while all of us girls are gone!
