Cut the verse into individual words and tape each word onto a domino. Write or type the Bible verse onto a sheet of paper. (You can check out her post here, and get even more great Bible verse game ideas!) This idea comes from 123Homeschool4Me, although Beth makes hers differently. Multiple children? Have each child write their own verse or work together in groups to write and illustrate the verses. Have your child write the verse in large letters on your driveway or sidewalk, then illustrate it as desired. Grab a box of sidewalk chalk and head outside. Multiple children? Play this game in exactly the same way, pitting the children against the teacher to see who gets the most points. If your child doesn’t catch the error, the “Tricky Teacher” gets a point. When your child hears the mistake, they call out “Gotcha” and get one point. Then, say the verse aloud to them, but make a mistake. Repeat the verse with your child several times so that they are familiar with it. Multiple children? Make copies of the puzzle before cutting them apart, so each child or team can assemble their own puzzles. Cut the paper into odd shapes to make a puzzle. Multiple children? Make copies of the page before handing it out. Have your child unscramble the letters to figure out what the word is. Under the blank lines, write the letters that make up that word, scrambled. Write or print the verse on a piece of paper, leaving lined blanks for several words. You can have the whole group or individuals say the words with each throw. Multiple children? Stand in a circle and toss or bounce a ball back and forth as you say the words. Then, repeat this game with the next phrase of the verse. You can play again, varying who starts the phrase, until your child knows the phrase by memory. Your child catches the ball, then tosses it back to you, saying the next word. As you toss the ball, say one word of the phrase. Have your child repeat the phrase with you. Verse CatchĪll you need for this game is a ball.
Variation: Rather than printing a verse on a piece of paper, try writing the verse on a dry erase board or chalk board and erasing the words. Multiple children? Have the kids take turns removing words, everyone saying the verse together. Repeat, until all of the words are gone and your child is saying the verse from memory. Then, have your child take away another word. Have your child say the verse again, seeing if they can remember the missing word. Have your child say the verse out loud, then remove one word. Insert the words for each memory verse into different colored balloons (for example, one verse into blue balloons, one verse into red balloons.) Divide the kids into teams and see which team can pop all of their balloons and assemble their verse first. Multiple children? Print the verse on several times. Have your child pop the balloons, get the words, and put them in order. Carefully roll or fold each word up and insert it into a balloon opening. Write or type the Bible verse on a sheet of paper, using fairly small print.
Then, all of the kids with a blue word under their seat must complete the blue verse while the kids with a red word under their seat must complete the red verse. Lots of Kids? Print the verse in different colors and mix them throughout the room. The kids must arrange themselves in line, each holding up their word, so that the words are in the correct order. Whoever finds a word under their chair brings it to the front. After the kids are seated, ask them to look under their chairs to see if they are sitting in one of the “hot seats” – a chair that has a word under it. Tape a word or phrase under random chairs in the classroom. Write or type the Bible verse on a sheet of paper. This game works best for multiple children. Have each child or team work on one color verse, racing to see who can complete their “puzzle” the fastest.
Multiple children? Print the verse on several different colored pages. At “go”, your child must find all of the words and assemble them in the correct order back into the frame. Cut individual words or phrases out of the frame. Spread the words around a room, taping them to a wall or hiding them. Click here to see the easiest way to make a Bible verse printable in minutes.
