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.

We have put this verse to music and we sing the song about— if we get bad thoughts or bad dreams the we sing the verse. We get some puppets up front and as we mention bad thougths bad things or bad dreams then the puppets start to shake as in fear. Then we say the verse and the —- alligator puppet comes along and EATS ALL THOSE BAD THINGS AWAY. (Remember what the verse’s address is 4: 8 or ATE) Then we sing —Let’s think about good things — Let’s think about pure things –Let’s think about praise worthy things —- » I want to read more! »

You will need three “people” puppets, one “animal” puppet (I use a sheep), a piece of plain paper, and a pair of scissors.

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! »

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! »

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.

This game went hand-in-hand with my (very short) message of how God’s Word is our roadmap for life.
I made two very large (approx. 4′ by 10′) roadmaps on rolled paper with markers. The road was a curving double line with the names of the books of the bible in order along it. I put one of these maps on each end of the classroom walls, and put masking tape rolls by each book name. » I want to read more! »

Principles:
1. Explain the significance of the verse.
2. Be sure the class understands the meaning of difficult words.
Otherwise, it’s going to be like trying to build a model airplane without glue. Nothing will really stick for they are trying to remember things they don’t even understand. And they may develop wrong concepts.
3. Have the children look up the verse in their Bibles. » I want to read more! »

When I was in need of new memory verse activities, I had my son give me a word for each letter of the alphabet. I then came up with ways to use his words in activities. Here is a complete set of activities, A-Z:
Apple: Make a poster with a large tree (like an apple tree). Make apples with one word of the verse on each apple. Make a way to attach the apples to the tree (like Velcro, buttons, or tape). Play one of two ways: 1) Scramble the apples and have children come up and put the apples in order and everyone read the verse together or 2) Place the apples on the tree in order and have each child come up and remove one apple.
