Psalm 37:31 Flip Book

by | Sep 14, 2020 | 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!

Psalm 112:7

by | Sep 7, 2020 | Mom Blog, Audio, Let's Pray

He will not be afraid of evil tidings;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 

Psalm 112:7

Join me in prayer as we give thanks to the Lord! God tells us to give Him thanks and what better way to do this than to give Him thanks using the truths found in His Word? This practice of using God’s Word to give Him thanks has been such a blessing in my life and I am happy to use God’s Word in prayer with you!

After praying with me using the audio, I would encourage you to write the Bible verse used in prayer on a card. (Two simple 4″x6″ prayer cards are available as a free download, or feel free to use a blank index card you already have.) Your prayer card can be used again and again as you give God thanks in the days ahead.

I welcome you to join me in prayer again as we continue to tell God thank you, using His Word to guide us. Are you praying with me? Send a simple “Praying with you” my way in the comments below.

Best Time of Day for Bible Time

by | Sep 2, 2020 | Mom Blog, First Place, First Place Overview, Posts

Wondering what would be the best time of day for Bible Time for your family? Consider your answers to the following questions:

 At what time of day are my children most alert and ready to learn?

At what time of day will Bible Time be given first place over academics?

At what time of day will Bible Time communicate to my children that God and His Word take first place in our lives?

Our family found that the best time of day for Bible Time was in the morning after breakfast and before academics.

Be encouraged! As we have experienced, God will take care of your children’s need for academics as you honor Him and obey His Word.

Hallelujah Game!

by | Aug 28, 2020 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Memorize God's Word Free Download, Videos

Looking for a fun game to play as you review Bible memory verses with your children? Play the Hallelujah Game!

Hallelujah Gameboard

Supplies

– 16 Bible memory verse cards

– 1 game board for each child

– Stickers (One sticker of the same kind for each verse card and for each game board. Example: if you have three children, you will need four of each kind of sticker. One sticker for the memory verse card and one for each of your three children’s game boards.)

– Game pieces (Suggestions: raisins or nuts or small crackers or small blocks or buttons etc. If you use food for your game pieces, it is fun to enjoy the food after the game as a snack!!)

Preparing the Game

Put one sticker on each memory verse card.

Download and print the game board on cardstock.

Put a sticker in each square of each game board. (Each board will have the same stickers. Important! Put the stickers in a different order on each board.)

Idea: Put each game board in a plastic page protector. This will protect the game board from food crumbs and oils. It also makes it easy for the game board to be stored in a three ring Bible Time notebook in between playing the Hallelujah Game.

Why the Teddy Bear?

The Teddy Bear in this video is letting you know that the idea shared is great for little children too! If your children are not old enough to quote the Bible memory verses, you can say the verses while they listen. You may also like to make the game board with a 3×3 grid instead of a 4×4 grid.
