Dear Parent, Teacher, or Sunday School Teacher, Thank you for downloading my “Roman Road Activity Book and Memory Verse Kit”. My children are studying Rome and the Middle Ages, and we are so impressed by these advanced, yet ancient, cultures. During the course of our studies, it became clear that God used the growing Roman Empire, and most specifically their beautiful roadways to spread the gospel message. We thought this was the perfect historical link to teach our children about the Roman Road to Salvation. The entire Gospel message is found within the book of Romans in the Bible. Directions: Print one Romans Road packet for each child. (10 pages) Color each page. Cut out each page (or have the child cut out their own pages. There will be 20 pages in the completed booklet.) Hole punch the upper left hand corner. Tie booklet together with ribbon, twine, or use key chain circle clasp. Study and memorize the Roman Road. Once memorized create additional booklets to be given away. Laminate for long life!!
