Scripture Verse on a balloon

Scripture Verse on a balloon

This helps children remember there verse for the week. Put one word (or 2 if small words) on each balloon after it is blown up. Read it a couple times from the balloons and then have one volunteer pop a balloon. Try to say the verse with the word missing. Continue until all the balloons are popped and they can repeat the verse. Safety note: Use a lady’s pierced earring to pop balloons. It is not to sharp, but it will pop the balloon.

I believe verse memorization is very important for our kids.

Scripture Clues

Scripture Clues

Each Sunday, in our Children’s Church time, we present the children with a scripture clue.

Here’s how it works. They receive a clue about something in the Old Testament, or New Testament. The clue is about a person, a place, or an event. We let them know which one it’s from.(O.T. or N.T.)

They are to remember the clue, and go home to research out where in the Bible it shows that clue. If they feel they’ve found the correct answer to solve the clue,then they let us know the next week. » I want to read more! »

Memory Verse Rewards

Memory Verse Rewards

You can make a big cutout (5×5 or bigger) of any object that represents the verse. For eg. Matt 3:17 -Then a voice said from heaven, This is my own dear Son, with whom I am well pleased. Make a cutout of a dove on white card sheet and fold it in half just for the marking and write the verse on it. You could even punch a hole at the tail end and tie a satin ribbon. » I want to read more! »

Memory Verse Relay

Memory Verse Relay

Here is a fun way to teach the memory verse or scripture verse to your Sunday school Class. Place a word or words from the verse inside deflated balloons (make sure there is enough for your class) and then blow them up. Hand one balloon to each child. Divide them into teams and have one chair per team. When you say go a child from each team runs toward their chair and places the balloon on the seat, they try to pop their ballon by sitting on it when they do they retrieve the paper from their balloon and return to their team and the next child in line starts.
