2. Balloon Jumble Game:
Have 2 teams of children line up holding up cards or balloons with the Bible verse written on them one word per card or balloon.
|
a. Mix the children all up by getting them to run around, then challenge the teams to get back in order.
b. Cheer the winner.
c. Have all children then repeat the verse.
|
3. Drumming: Make up your own
tune for the verse this can be sung with clapping, hopping
or dancing. Start a rhythm with a drum. Fit the rhythm of
the verse to the rhythm of the drum. |
|
|
4. Skipping
to the rhythm.
Turn the verse into a song and
skip as the verse if recited, singing as you skip. |
5. Hand chant :
John 3 : 16
Start to recite the Bible verse:
For (clap left hands together) God (clap right hand together) so (clap both hands together) loved (clap left hands together) the (clap right hand together) world, (clap both hands together getting faster and faster) etc.
This always results in lots of fun and laughter. |

6. Silly voices: Have children
practice verse with different “silly” character voices
– Example:“Mini-Mouse” (high, squeaky), ‘roar’
it like a Lion or a robot voice (monotone, staccato)
7. Crazy stand-ups: Split the class
into three, one team stands and chants, “For the wages of
sin is death.” The next team stands and chants, “but
the gift of God is eternal life” Another team stands and shouts
out “in Christ Jesus our Lord.”. The last team stands
and shouts “Romans 6:23!” Have a contest as to which
side can say their portion of the verse the loudest and strongest.
8. Passing the parcel – Wrap
a little gift with many layers of paper. On each layer write the
verse in BOLD. Pass a parcel with the verse written upon it. Play
music, or drum, then stop it! Whoever has the parcel says memory
verse unwraps the gift and passes it on. Eventually many children
will have a chance and all will hear it several times and in the
end someone gets a little gift.
9. Drama.
Long jump to Jesus
“For all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) |
|
Get the children to try and long jump to Jesus,
as each one fails point out that he ‘came short’
of reaching Jesus because all have sinned and come short of the
glory of God.
No matter how hard they try they can’t reach
Jesus in their own strength.
