1 101 WAYS TO TEACH KIDS MEMORY VERSES If you work with kids, you realize they can memorize just about anything: ABCs, shapes, numbers, silly songs, rhymes, names; so why not scripture? Since kids memorize so easily, why not help them use this God given gi to memorize Scripture? If you help to put the Word of God in the hearts of kids, they will be able to develop strong roots, they will be more like Jesus, they will be able to love others, and they will be able to stand against the a ack of the enemy. Today we will use a variety of ac vi es to show how to teach kids to memorize the memory verse. SO MIRROR IMAGE Write the verse backwards, so that you could only read it properly by looking at it through a mirror. (Make sure the individual le ers are wri en the wrong way around ). Get the kids to try and read the verse. Most of them will be able to do it but bring a mirror and have them read it by looking in the mirror. On a piece of poster board, in scrambled order, write the words of the memory verse. At the beginning of each word place a wire brad. At the first word of the verse, e a long piece of yarn or string to the brad. By wrapping the yarn around each brad, let 2 kids (one from each team) move the yarn or string to follow the words of the memory verse in sequence. Have each team say the verse in order. Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. TWO GREAT VERSES Select two short but related verses. Divide the class into two teams. Assign the first verse to one team and the second verse to the other. Have each team work to memorize the verse and reference and get ready for the challenge. When teams are ready, they will alternate saying their verse and reference in unison. As soon as one team is finished, the second team starts. Go back and forth going faster and faster Psalm 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

2 STRING ACROSS BOARD On a piece of poster board, in scrambled order, write the words of the memory verse. At the beginning of each word, place a wire brad. At the first word of the verse, e a long piece of yarn or string to the brad. Divide the class into two teams. Have one person from each team wrap the yarn or string around each brad to put the verse in order. Have the kids say the verse by following the words in sequence. Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved MAD GAB MEMORY VERSE This game is just like the card game Mad Gab from Ma ell. It s a game of words and phrases, it s not what you say, it s what you hear. Say the words Day Leo Fur Rings a few mes and you ll find you are saying DAILY OFFERINGS! Write the memory verse in Mad Gab style (ex. Iron hot ash aimed off day goes bell = I am not ashamed of the gospel. Romans 1:16). Players work in teams and compete against each other to solve the verse. HUMAN BUZZER (similar to hangman) Using a whiteboard, put underscore dashes on the board for every le er in each word of the memory verse. EX. JESUS WEPT = _. Prepare at least 26 ques ons. Divide everyone into two teams. Each team selects someone to be the buzzer and another to be the contestant. The buzzes site on a chair at the front while the contestant stands behind him with their hands on the head of the buzzer. When the contestant wants to answer a ques on, he lightly presses on the buzzer to make the sound for the team. When a contestant gets an answer correct, he can select one le er from the alphabet (no vowels) to be uncovered on the board. Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of God stands forever. NEWSPAPER SLICE Divide the memory verse up into sec ons then divide the youth group into smaller groups. Hand out a newspaper to each group and give 10 mins to slice up words and/or le ers out of the newspaper to make up their sec on of the memory verse and glue onto a piece of paper. Awards for most crea ve. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

3 POOL NOODLE BIBLE MEMORY VERSE ACTIVITY Get pool noodles and cut them into pieces (shorter pieces for short words, longer pieces for longer words). Write one word from the memory verse on each piece. Place the pieces in a box or bin (make 2 sets). Bring a stopwatch. Divide the kids into two teams. Have each team take a box or bin. When you say go, start the stopwatch, have each team dump out the pieces and put the verse in order. Time the team to see who does it the fastest. Have both teams say the verse. I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. SAY AND STOMP GAME Bring enough Styrofoam cups for each kid. Bring markers to write verse, one word on each cup. Give each kid enough cups to write one word on the top of each one. Have each kid set up the cups in order in a line on the floor. When you say go, have each kid stomp on one cup at a me and say the word as they stomp un l they have all said the verse. 2 Timothy 3:16a All Scripture is given by inspira on MEMORY VERSE SPINNER Get a spinner at the dollar store or an old game you have. Paste the direc ons of how to say the verse over the sec ons. Have a kid spin the spinner and see if he can say the verse following the direc ons. Zechariah 4:6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

4 PUNCH BOX MEMORY VERSE GAME Make several punch boxes: take cardboard, trace enough circles for the memory verse (one or more words per circle). Cut the circles out and tape cloth or paper on the back. Take paper bags and cut in half. Place the word or words in the bag. Tape to back of cardboard behind the circle. Write PUNCH BOX down the middle. Make ques ons. Ask a ques on. The first team to answer correctly punches out a circle, takes out the words and puts them in a basket marked TEAM 1 or TEAM 2. When they get all the words to the verse, 1 st team to put them in order wins. Have all kids say the verse. Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you, do not run from it to the right hand or to the le, that you may prosper wherever you go. RED CHECKER UP You will need two sets of checkers (12 red, 12 black), a cookie sheet, 5 or more strips of construc on paper. Securely glue all 12 red checkers to the backs of the black checkers. Put all the checkers in a bag. Write out the verse into 5 or more sec ons on white board. Cover with the construc on paper. Divide your class into 2 teams. A er introducing the memory verse, have a child from team one take the bag of checkers and pour them out onto the tray. For every red checker that is face up, the child must say that number of por ons star ng with Scripture por on number one. For every por on said correctly, the child s team will earn 50 points. At the beginning of each round of play, cover up all 5 por ons of the Scripture. Unveil each line of the bible verse a er he says it correctly for as many mes as there are red checkers. If the child has more than 5 red checkers, the child will earn an addi onal 50 points for those red checkers only if he says all 5 por ons correctly. For example, if the child pours out 8 red checkers, he has the poten al of earning 400 points for his team if he says all 5 por ons of the memory verse. Ma hew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

5 MAGNETIC BOARD VERSE You will need medium and large magnets. Write the verse on the magnets and place them on the whiteboard out of order. Divide the class into two teams. Ask ques ons (20 25 ques ons). First team to order has the chance to put the verse in order. If team gets the answer correct, they win. Repeat with same verse or add a new verse and play again. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. SMALL PINATA MEMORY VERSE GAME You will need 2 small pinatas. (or balloons) Write the verse on candy and place inside the Pinata. Divide the class into 2 teams. Ask ques ons (20 25 ques ons). Team that answers correctly gets to shake the pinata un l candy falls out. Con nue to answer ques ons un l all candy is out of the pinata and verse is put in order (leave some of the pieces of candy without words so game is more challenging). Can also use balloons if pinatas are not available. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. FOR OLDER KIDS Psalm 107: 1 Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!... FOR YOUNGER KIDS CORNHOLE Set up an indoor cornhole game (2 boards and 4 bean bags (2 colors each)). Write the verse twice on the board and cover the words with construc on paper. Divide the class into two teams. Have one member of each team throw a beanbag. If the player gets the beanbag on the board, the team can uncover one word. If the player puts the beanbag in the hole, the team can uncover 3 words. The team that uncovers the en re verse wins. Have everyone say the verse together. I Peter 5:7 cas ng all your care on Him, for He cares for you. FOOT HOCKEY and cover. Set up 2 goals (one on each side of the room). Write the verse on the board Divide the class into 2 teams. Ask ques on (can use previous ques ons if not all asked). Team that answers 1st can hit puck with his/ her foot. If scores, can uncover one part of the verse. Con nue un l one team has uncovered the en re verse. Have class say verse together. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

6 BUILD A VERSE Take a set of large legos or interlocking large blocks. Write one word from the verse on each block. Place all of the blocks in a gi bag. The teacher has a horn or a whistle. Divide the children into two teams. On go, player 1 from each team will run from the start line to where you have placed the prepared gi bags holding their team s verse blocks. Player 1 will retrieve one verse block and return back to his team. When tagged, player 2 will then run to its team s bag, retrieve a block, return to her team, and send player 3 to do the same. Teams will work to retrieve all verse blocks and a ach them together in correct verse order. The first team to finish wins! I Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ORIGINAL SONG Learn the memory verse by pu ng it to music. You will need to bring the music with you as you make the verse fit the song you are playing. U tube videos are great.
