Create Your Own Memory Verse Activities

While Kindergarten children may still be in the pre-reading stage of life many still know the power of written words and the fact that they are important for communicating. This interest can be utilised in teaching them about God's word and that God communicates to us through the Bible. The activities below are designed to help children learn their memory verses in a fun way and build on their pre-reading/reading skills.

The following templates can be used for creating your own memory verse activities or mini-crafts. An example of each is also given (these correspond with the Kindergarten lesson). See below for instructions on creating and using these activities.

Alternatively, copy the template and paste into a program such as Microsoft Publisher and type the memory verse onto each graphic piece before printing out.
Cut out and colour (if desired) each piece of the activity.

Additional Suggestions
