Bowling Green Christian Academy was transformed into a biblical world as the staff and students used the day to reflect on Jesus on the last school day before the Easter break.
This is the third year for the special "Bible Day" and both staff and students dressed up as biblical figures.
"It's a really great day," said Wendy Cuckler, principal of BGCA. "It's really fun for everyone."
Beyond the fun, it is educational and ties in with their religion curriculum. The students in kindergarten through fifth grade move through various half-hour sessions throughout the day.
"The kids really look forward to this after a long winter," Cuckler added.
Laurel Bruhl, a fifth-grade student from Bowling Green agreed. "It's fun and a good opportunity for kids to learn about the Bible as they move around," she said.
Dressed as Joseph, because Laurel said she likes to carve as did Joseph, said she learned a lot about schools back in those days.
She said one of the things she learned was that the Jewish students "had to memorize the entire Bible."
Laurel said she had the most fun at the ancient toys and games station.

LifePoint Community Church in Bowling Green is a "church plant" from the home church in Findlay. Pastor Jaime Velasquez is ready for the church to bloom here.
The first local services were held in the Bowling Green High School auditorium, beginning October 2011. Last August they took possession of the former Northside Baptist Church facility across the road at 701 W. Poe Road.
Church plants are generally made to reach out where officials feel there is a need to be filled.
"Through prayer, we felt the Lord was leading us here," Velasquez said noting a connection with the group Crosswalk at Bowling Green State University. "There are thousands of people in Wood County who don't go to any church."
Crosswalk is affiliated with an Ohio collegiate ministry program as well as the church.
The pastor says the basic format for the Southern Baptist church is contemporary.
Assisting him in the worship is a worship team and a band which plays contemporary Christian music.
"We try to stay relevant to all generations," while admitting their primary focus is on college students and younger families.
