No Prep Plans: Leviticus – Respect & Responsibility-Old Testament Series

No Prep Plans: Leviticus – Respect & Responsibility
Bible Study + Project: Create a Character Education Guide
Old Testament Series | Grades 6–8

Help students discover that biblical character is about far more than following rules—it is about reflecting God's holiness through everyday actions. In this engaging project-based study of Leviticus 19, students investigate God's commands about honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness, forgiveness, and integrity before creating a practical Character Education Guide for kids their own age.

Students explore how Leviticus 19 teaches people to honor parents, respect elders, speak truthfully, avoid revenge, and deal honestly with others. They also examine how these same principles are reinforced throughout the New Testament in passages such as Ephesians 4–6, James 5:12, and 1 Peter 1:15–16, discovering that God's call to holy living spans the entire Bible.

Designed for middle school learners, this resource combines Bible study, collaboration, research, critical thinking, and personal reflection while encouraging students to apply timeless biblical principles to life at home, at school, and online.
