Are you interested in an activity that will help your child memorize a Bible verse while giving them an opportunity to stretch their legs and move about?
1. Write:
Write Genesis 1:1 or a Bible verse of your choice on a card if you have not already done so.
2. Hide
Hide the Memory Verse Card (MVC) in a room of your house while your child is not looking. For example, under a couch pillow with a piece of the card peeking out.
3. Look
Have your child then come into the room and look for the card.
4. Find and Say:
When your child finds the MVC, express excitement and then say the verse. Remember to say the Bible reference before and after you say the verse. Your child can join you in saying the verse if they are able.
5. Again!
Hide and find the memory verse card again! And again!
(Note: When you have more than one memory verse card, you can hide the cards all at once and then your child can find each one. Say the verses one by one as they are found or say all of the verses after all the cards are collected.)
