Last October I had an idea — wouldn’t it be cool to do a Scripture Mastery Trick-or-Treating game? That was all it took to get my mind spinning. From there I ended up with a list of scripture candy puns. I knew I couldn’t stop there, so I made visuals for each one. I tentatively put them out there, and they exploded with popularity!
I’ve had a number of people ask if they were coming back this year for the New Testament. After hours and hours of trying to find the perfect pun and putting together detailed designs for each one, they’re finally available! I’m super proud of these. The Old Testament ones from last year are arguably impressive, but these ones are cleaner, cleverer and more detailed.
You can buy them on ThePersonalProgressHelper.com or on Etsy.com.

You can download a free PDF that offers an explanation for each scripture!
Some of these are pretty self-explanatory, and others take a bit more (what do men and women have to do with peanut butter cups?) but the answers are generally pretty clever.
These are really great to use as incentives. I know I always had a hard time actually memorizing scriptures, but perhaps a little chocolate might have motivated me a bit more. The neat thing about offering a variety of candy is that instead of just picking the shortest or most familiar (John 14:15 is only a Hershey’s Kiss!) youth will pick based on their favorite types which may challenge them some more. There are 10 fruity, 11 chocolate, 2 mint, a soda, and a popcorn (maybe incentive for a movie party?)

My favorite pastime in Seminary by far is Scripture Mastery games. Every teacher I had did them vastly differently, but they were all fun. These provide a couple options for fun games. You could put together a quiz in a Powerpoint or on paper, BINGO, scripture chase where the first person/team gets whatever candy coordinates with the scripture, or probably a billion other fun games that are out there.
To add an extra challenge, this year I’ve included two sets of labels — one with the scripture reference (eg. James 1:5-6) and one without. This way you can challenge your students to figure out the scripture reference!
Of course, these could also be given as a traditional handout without memorization or games. Most of these scriptures are pretty well-spaced throughout the New Testament, so you’d be able to give treats regularly. The plus side to that is you can just buy a bag of that type of candy instead of buying 25 kinds of candy at once (ouch, budget!)

I’ve tried to making printing these as easy as possible for you. They are all formatted to print 3×3 inches (since the candies come in so many shapes and sizes). There are JPG files of each individual label that you could open up in Microsoft Word or a similar program to allow you to print them as you wish.
Otherwise, to save you the trouble, I have a number of PDF files already prepared for printing. Both a PDF with all 25 labels (5 to a page), and a set of 5 PDF’s with 5 labels each (6 to a page). Both the labels with the scripture reference and without are saved in the same file formats.
You can find them today on ThePersonalProgressHelper.com or on Etsy.com.
