This is a good activity to help kids memorize a scripture verse in a group setting. This one is perfect for longer verses and works best with a smaller group of kids (less than 15). Let us know what you think or if you have any new variations, please go to "Contact Us" page and leave us your ideas or message.

Supplies: Large dry erase marker board with marker and eraser.

Suggested Age: This activity works best for children who are confident readers. Please try and use it with some kindergarten children

Procedure: After introducing the Bible memory verse, write it on the dry erase board. Have the children read the verse together. Then ask for a volunteer to read it aloud. This child is then allowed to erase one word from the verse. Call on another child to read the scripture as it was originally written. Then allow them to erase a word. Repeat this process as the children remove more and more of the verse.

Sketching Bible Memory Verses

Here is a fun learning activity that will promote understanding of Bible memory verses. One of weak points of route Bible memory is a lack of comprehension. This sketch process will force them (and you) to transfer concepts into symbols, a key skill in learning.

Supplies: Dry erase maker and board. Alternatively you can use poster board, giant Post-It notes, or sidewalk chalk.

Target Age: I’ve used Bible verse learning activity with K4 through adults. It’s actually easier for kids than grown-ups to be creative.

Procedure: After rehearsing the memory verse, invite volunteers to sketch one short element from the verse. You can choose an older child first to set a good pattern for the others. Then  invite other children one at a time until you’ve sketched the verse. You can take a photo of the finished project to print off .

Possible Variations: You could easily split this activity into small groups and use a single piece of white paper. Please, often repeat the same Bible verse the next week except  you can  let each child work independently on their own sketch. Then  compare the end results and discuss the different ways the concepts were represented.
