Hide the Word- CD Labels

Hide the Word in Your Heart - Labels for the CDs

For each age level, we have created a CD of the memory verse songs. This has been very helpful for the teachers, parents, and students to learn songs to help write God's word in their hearts.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to post .wmv files to Blogger. If you're interested in hearing the songs, please comment on this post and we will get back with you.

Annually, we burn the songs for each age level onto a CD. Every child in the congregation receives the appropriate CD. In addition, every teacher receives the same CD so she can learn the songs along with the children. We burn these CDs at home, write the grade level on each CD, and pop the CD into a paper CD holder.

For the CD holder, we needed a song label that would list what song verses were on the CD in what order. We came up with Avery label 48863, a 2"x4" shipping label. You use Avery Template 5163 to create these. We simply print the attached PDFs onto the shipping labels, and stick the labels onto a paper CD holder.

We distribute these CDs to the children their first Sunday in the new grade level, which for us is in June. We usually make a few extras for students that may move in during the school year.

3rd Grade and 4th Grade - Hide the Word - Glow in the Dark - Romans 3:23 and Ephesians 4:26-27

We love glow in the dark paint!!! Not only is it fun for the kids, but the WOW factor is HUGE!!!  So whenever we see a verse about glory or darkness or light, we immediately think glow paint!

Before class, gather lots of Q-tips, black 9x12 construction paper and white crayons.

This is one of those crafts that can be a disaster waiting to happen if not done properly.  The top photo is properly!  At the beginning of class, have the kids write the parts in white. Have a sample for them to copy so that they can see the spacing.  They can even draw a line where they will eventually paint the glow words.  Later in class, go back with the Q-tips and glow paint and fill in the blanks.

 This is a sample of a disaster!! When trying to do all the words in glow paint it gets WAY too big and takes WAY too long!  Yes, it looks ultra-cool, but it is not very practical to do in class! :)

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - January - Ephesians 4:31-32

This is the mail-out game for January.  To prepare, die-cut 10 hearts per child.  They can be any color combination.  Write verse phrases on each heart.  If you look closely, you will notice that the first 4 hearts are very crumpled up and the last 6 are crisp.  This is to symbolize that the first few are "trash" and the last ones are "treasure." Place in a verse labelled baggie and mail.

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - January - Ephesians 4:31-32

This is an in-class activity for January.  Once again, the sample in on 12x18 construction paper, but we recommend using a length of butcher paper.  Before class, the teacher needs to prepare the poster.  To prepare the poster, write the words of the verse at the top of the paper.  Then glue on a picture of a trash can on one side and a big heart on the other side.  I used Bing images to find the trash an by searching "trash can coloring page."  The heart is cut free-hand.

Also before class, print out the word strips that are on the teal paper.  These are the words from the verse.  In class, discuss the verse and together, glue the teal word strips onto the correct side of the poster.  Then give each child 4 post-its.  Have each child 2 trash attitudes and 2 treasure attitudes on the post-its.  Then let the kids come up and stick their post-its on the correct side of the poster.

Hang in the hall so that all the parents can see their child's work and be proud!

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - November - Ephesians 4:25

This is another in class activity for November - Ephesians 4:25.  For the sample we used 12x18 construction paper, but in class we recommend using a length of butcher paper.  Before class, die-cut several lips.  In the sample we used the Ellison die-cut machine, but Cricut also has lips on several cartridges.  Each child needs 4 and the teacher needs at least 4.  We also recommend writing the full verse at the top of the poster.

In class, give kids several die-cut lips.  Let them write examples from the Bible of people who told the truth and people who told lies and list when they did each act.  For example, one the top lip write “Peter” and on the bottom lip write “when preaching” or “when denying Jesus.”  Sort and glue lips onto t-chart poster.  The kids may come up with some of the same people and that is fine.  The poster below just shows a handful of examples.  Let your kids go wild!!!

Hang this in the hall for all the congregation to enjoy and be proud of your kids!

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - October - Ephesians 4:23-24

 This is the mail-out activity for October.  It can be prepared in several different ways.  This sample is done with the Mini Accents purchased from a local teacher store.  Most teacher stores also sell small notepads that you can use.  You can also die-cut or Cricut butterflies.  I liked using the Mini Accents because they are colorful and made of thicker card stock.  They are about $2.50 for 36 butterflies.

To prepare, decide which butterfly shape you want to use.  They write a verse phrase on each butterfly.  Since these kids are fluent readers, you may want to only put one or two words per shape.  Place in a baggie with the scripture reference written on it and mail.

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - November - Ephesians 4:25

This verse focuses on putting off falsehoods and speaking truthfully.   Take 2 paper plates. Label one “speak truthfully” and the other  “falsehoods.” As a class, generate a list of examples for both and record the responses on construction paper.  Cut up the list of responses.  Distribute response strips evenly among the kids and have the kids glue strip onto correct plate.

 This sample we generated, so the list that is cut-up is not shown here.  The kids may think of other ideas, this is just to get your mind going in case you need to prompt some responses.

Using plates to sort adds an added "aaaahhhh" factor and makes it something new!

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - July - 1 Corinthians 10:24

We found these in the Dollar Spot at Target.  You can do multiple things with them!  One idea is to write one word of the verse on each star.  You can hang them in the classroom OR make a set for each child.  You could also use them to sequence in class or decorate a verse poster.  It's a great buy!

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - October - Eph. 4:23-24 Butterfly Footprints

Ephesians 4:23-24 – to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

 

 

This is one of those crafts that mommas will save and have hanging up on their walls forever!  Many have developed their own footprint methods.  We bring sponge brushes, the paint and a lot of baby wipes.  Sit the kids in a chair and the teacher is sitting on the floor.  Paint the child's foot, then firmly press in the foot down on the paper that is laying on the ground.  Make sure to press each little toe!  Gently lift the foot.  The teacher then gives the foot a good wipe-down with a baby wipe.  Then give the child a baby wipe and let them go sit somewhere else make sure they got all the paint off their foot.

This craft can be done in a variety of colors, but we liked the neutral look best.

 To do this particular craft, make the footprints.  Then lightly draw a pencil line around the edge of the footprints.  This is the line that you will write on.  We recommend writing the words in pencil first, then tracing them in a fine-tip pen.  The kids do the writing!  Make sure to have a sample so that they can see the spacing of the words.

This sample is of a 15 month olds foot, so you may need the paper to be turned vertical.  Try it first at home.

3rd Grade - Hide the Word - July- 1 Corinthians 10:24 Mail-out Game

This is the mail-out game for 3rd Grade July.  To prepare, Cricut 8 spy-scopes per child.  We used the Paper Doll Dress-Up cartridge, Pirate Girl, Accessory 2.  We cut 12" size and they are actually about 4 inches long.  Write verse phrases on each spy-scope.  Place in a baggie and mail to the kids.  The children then sequence the spy-scopes in order to make the whole verse.

3rd Grade Hide the Word - July - 1 Corinthians 10:24

 Before class, gather star stickers and 1 sheet of 9x12 black construction for each child.  Also use the Cricut to die-cut the spy-scopes.  The spy-scope is from Paper Doll Dress-Up, Pirate Girl, Accessory 2.  It is 12" size.

In class, have the kids write the verse using a white crayon, silver Sharpie or glitter marker.  Then they can affix star stickers.  On the spy-scope, the kids write the scripture reference.
