Backpack Blessings + 1 Free Backpack Tag Template
The start of a new school year is a prime time for our church and children’s ministry to actively share God’s grace with kids and their families. One strategic way to connect with students in the community is by giving them backpack blessing tags. A free, colorful backpack blessing tag is a simple yet powerful way to remind kids returning to school of God’s love, protection, and grace. Parents, congregants, and teachers can also bless each child as they start the new school year.
Hold a Backpack Blessing Event
A Prayer ceremony is a great way to help young kids start the new school year with faith. It’s a special event where you can share Jesus’s message fun and meaningfully.
Here are a few ways to think about it:
- Time: Host it some weeks before school begins or as part of a Sunday service.
- Purpose: A pastor, parent, or teacher can remind the children of God’s promises. You can also include fun activities, like a game where kids act out challenging situations and find a Bible verse that helps.
For example, if someone calls a child an ugly name, the child can practice saying, “I don’t like what you said, but I want to remind you that God made both you and me beautiful and wonderful.”
This ceremony helps kids feel ready and reminds them that God is with them daily at school. Distribute Backpack Blessing tags as a reminder of God’s protection in their lives in and out of school.
The Role of Backpack Blessing Tags
Backpack Blessing tags are cute and easy to clip on a backpack or purse.
These multicoloured tags inspire Bible verses to remind kids of their Christian faith. Kids can always read these biblical words to soothe their feelings during difficult times.
A Bible verse tag can help your child talk about Jesus. When a friend asks about the tag, your child naturally shares the gospel message.
How to Create Backpack Blessing Tags
Using our editable card tags, you can customise our back-to-school backpack blessing tags with any encouraging Bible verses you choose.:
- Bible Verses: Joshua 1:9; Philippians 4:13; and Romans 8:28.
Reminders:
- Prayers and Blessings: Add a brief and noteworthy prayer that the children can easily understand and relish.
- Emotional Messages: Encouragement can be expressed through a simple message. “You are loved” or “God is with you” are words kids must hear daily.
Other Places to Distribute your Backpack Blessing Tags
- Rally Day
- Carnival or volunteer fair in the fall.
Other ideas:
- Try printing the tags on sticker paper so students can put them on their water bottles and notebooks.
- Print and laminate the tag, and place it on a briefcase, backpack, or luggage.
- Tie ribbons to the tags to create bookmarks for everyone to use.
