Psalm 37:31 Flip Book

by | Jun 27, 2026 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts, Videos

Looking for a fun, easy, hands-on craft to enjoy with your children as you memorize a Bible verse together?

Make a Psalm 37:31 Flip Book!

Suggested Ages: 5 – 10

(If your children are old enough they can make their own flip book while they watch you make yours.)

These books can be made using any Bible memory verse. Collect a few supplies, gather your children and have fun!

FOUR EASY STEPS!

Supplies: 7 Index Cards, Stickers, Stapler, Markers

1. Staple

Staple seven index cards together on the left hand side of the index cards to create a book.

2. Fold

Go to the front of the book and fold back each page along the line of staples. Fold the right hand bottom corner of the back page to the front of the card and then re-fold the corner to the back of the card. Fold the right hand corner of the next page. Make this corner fold a bit bigger. A small piece of the back page will show.

3.Stickers

Put a sticker on the inside corner of each fold. Add more stickers for decoration if you like.

4. Write

Write the Bible reference on the first page and the last page of the book. Divide the words found in your verse into five sections. Write a section of words from your verse in order on the five inside pages.

That’s it!

Have fun using the Bible Verse Flip Book as you say your chosen Bible memory verse with your children!

Variations!

Use cards of other sizes and colors. Pre-cut cards are great! There are many choices online. Or, make cards by cutting cardstock paper with a paper cutter.

Instead of using stickers, use glue or washi tape to hold down the folded corners. Also, your children may enjoy decorating the pages with crayons, markers or pens.

Ideas!

Bible Time Basket: Keep your children’s completed Bible Verse Flip Books in your Bible Time Basket. The flip books will be easy to find when you are ready to “flip and say” memory verses together during Bible Time.

Flip Book Collection: Your children may enjoy making more flip books using other memory verses. If so, they will be creating their own Bible Verse Flip Book collection. 

Share!

Share a picture of your children’s Bible Verse Flip Books with me! it would be delightful to see your children’s work!

Introducing a New Bible Verse to Your Children

by | Apr 15, 2026 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts

Are you ready to memorize a new Bible verse with your children? Would you like three simple ways to introduce the verse? If so, this post is for you!

3 Simple Ways to Introduce a Memory Verse

 Suggested Ages: All Ages

1. Read:

Read the chosen memory verse from the Bible. Doing this will help your children see that the verse comes from the Word of God.

2. Talk:

Talk about what the verse is saying. Answer any questions your children have about the verse.

3. Write

Write the verse on a card for each child. Index cards work great for this. Decorate the verse cards with a sticker if you would like. Give each child their verse card.

BONUS! Tips for Memorizing the Verse!

-MEMORIZE the verse together. (When our daughters were young I decided to have their memory verses be my memory verses too! This worked very well.)

-REVIEW the memory verse after you have memorized it together!! And keep reviewing the verse together so that it will not be forgotten.

Takeoff!

by | Apr 28, 2021 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts

Here’s another fun way to memorize and/or review a Bible memory verse with your children. This is a great activity when you want to give your children the opportunity to get some wiggles out. 

Play “Takeoff!”

Suggested Ages: 4 – 12

TO PLAY
 

1. Runway
Have your children squat down on the floor as if they are an airplane on a runway ready for takeoff. Explain two airport signals. One signal is the word: “Takeoff!” When you say “Takeoff!” they are to pretend to fly like an airplane. The second signal is the word “Landing!” When your children hear you say “Landing!” they are to come in to the runway for landing. (In order to hear your commands, they will need to fly quietly.🙂)

 

2. Prepare
Say the Bible memory verse while your children listen, waiting on the runway and preparing to fly.

 

3. Takeoff
When your children hear you say the word “Takeoff!” they can stand up, put their arms out like airplane wings and ‘fly’ around your kitchen table or coffee table or around anything else you choose! When you say “Landing!” they are to fly back to the runway and land, returning to a squatting position.

 

Variations!

1. Have your children say the Bible memory verse with you when they have the verse memorized.

2. Make paper airplanes. Have your children fly the paper airplanes when you say “Takeoff!”
When you say “Landing” they can then go and retrieve their airplanes.

Suggestion

This activity is exciting for children and it may be challenging for some to ‘fly’ back to the runway and land on time. You may want to let them know that if their airplane is late in coming in for landing they will have to go into the airplane hangar to be repaired. The “airplane hangar” could be your couch or a chair. They can sit and watch the next takeoff and landing and then play again if you feel they are ready.

Ready, Say, Go!

by | Apr 28, 2021 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts

Ready, Say, Go! is a great activity to enjoy outdoors as you and your children review memorized verses together. 

Play “Ready, Say, Go!”

All Ages

TO PLAY

1. Ready
Choose a starting line. It may be the edge of your sidewalk or driveway. Have your children stand behind the starting line.

 

2. Say
Say the chosen memorized verse together.

 

3. Go!
After saying the memorized verse together tell your children that when you say “Go!” they are to run to a place you specify in your yard and then touch it. (This could be a tree, the corner of your house, your car, etc.) After touching the designated object they are to come back to the starting line as fast as they can.

Say “Go!” and enjoy watching your children run or you can run with them! Repeat these three steps as many times as you like. You may want to review a different memorized verse each time your children are ready to run again.

 

Suggestions

1. Take your Memory Verse Cards outside with you for reference.

2. If you have older children and younger children enjoying this activity together, you may want to assign partners, pairing older siblings with younger ones. Encourage them to run together holding hands.

Pop Up!

by | Apr 28, 2021 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts

Ready for another fun way to memorize and/or review a Bible memory verse with your children?

Enjoy “Pop Up!”

All Ages

TO PLAY
 

1. Chairs

Make a row of chairs. Include one chair for each of your children. Have each of your children sit down on one of the chairs.

 

2. Pop Up Word

Choose a word from the memory verse to be the “Pop Up Word.” Tell your children the Pop Up Word you have chosen.

 

3. Pop Up!

Say the memory verse. When your children hear you say the Pop Up Word they are to quickly pop up off their chair and then sit back down again. Choose another word from the memory verse and repeat. Enjoy! 🙂

 

FUN VARIATIONS!

1. Have your children listen for more than one “Pop Up Word” in a single saying of the verse, popping up each time a Pop Up Word is said.

2. Give the first child in the row the first word of the verse, the second child
the second word of the verse, the third child the third word of the verse, etc. Have your children Pop Up for their word only.

3. Popcorn! Give each of your children a different Pop Up word in varying order along the row. The child at the end of the row may have the first word, the child in the middle may have the second word etc. Again have them Pop Up for their given Pop Up word only. They will look like popcorn popping! Fun!!

 

SUGGESTIONS!

1. Once your children have memorized the verse, have them say the verse with you as they enjoy playing “Pop Up!”

2. Always say the Bible memory verse reference before and after the verse. This is important. It will help your children memorize the Bible reference, enabling them to remember where the verse is found and giving them the ability to find it in their Bibles at any time.

3. For variety have your children pick Pop Up Words.

MORE IDEAS!
Your children may come up with even more ideas on how to enjoy “Pop Up!” That’s great! This activity can be enjoyed over and over again.

Toss It!

by | Jan 25, 2021 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Posts, Videos

Some little children really enjoy tossing balls and other things. Here is a simple and fun Bible memory verse activity that capitalizes on this interest! 

Play “Toss It!”

Suggested Ages: 2 – 5

SUPPLIES

“Sock Bags”
Collect pairs of socks. You will need as many pairs of socks as there are words in the Bible memory verse you will say, plus two more pairs for the Bible verse reference. Fold each pair of socks together by putting the two socks inside one of the legs of one of the socks. (See video). These folded socks become “Sock Bags” similar to and instead of “Bean Bags.”

Basket
Find a large basket. A laundry basket is great for this activity.

TO PLAY
 

1. Choose
Choose a Bible memory verse.

 

2. Say
Have your child say the chosen Bible memory verse with you. If you have chosen a new memory verse, have him repeat the Bible reference and each word in the verse individually after you have said them. If he already knows the Bible verse, he can say the verse along with you. Say the verse slowly.

 

3. Toss
Each time your child says the Bible reference or a word of the Bible verse, have your child toss one “sock bag” into the basket.

 

Do It Again!

Dump the sock bags out of the basket and start again!

Very Little Child?

Place the basket very close to your child for tossing ‘success.’

Good Tossing Skills?

If your child is a little older, and has developed good tossing skills, you can move the basket further away each time you say the Bible verse together.

Change Location!

For variety, change the location of the basket. You may want to take turns playing this in your family room, the hallway, a bedroom, the kitchen or in the basement. Enjoy!
