Kindergarten - Hide the Word - December - Verse Poster - Psalm 145:13b

Before class, print out a verse poster for each child.  In class, give them markers to trace the words of the verse.  As they trace the words, sing the verse too.  You can use any kind of fun marker… glitter, metallic, gel pens, etc. to add to the fun!

Kindergarten - November - Hide the Word - Verse Poster - Proverbs

This is an in-class activity… for brave teachers who love glitter!!!  Before class, print a verse poster for each child.  In class, have them trace the key words “hot-tempered” with glue bottles and then add red glitter.  Repeat with blue glitter on “patient.”  As you do this activity start a discussion about examples from the Bible of hot-tempered people and what happened.  Also discuss patient men and how their actions helped calm situations.

Kindergarten - November - Hide the Word - Proverbs - Verse Poster

This was one of my boys favorite things from Kindergarten!  The coloring book picture at the top is the mean chef from the movie Ratatouille.  He is a GREAT example of a hot-tempered man!!!  Before class, copy each child a verse poster.  In class, have the kids color the hot-tempered man as you go over the verse.  You can find the image by searching "Ratatouille coloring pages."

Kindergarten - Hide the Word - January - Proverbs

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1

 

 

For one of the projects for this verse, we have the children do a "verse poster." With a verse poster, you can do any number of projects. At various ages, we have children outline or circle key words, decorate key words with glitter or real objects (see pics below), or decorate the edges of the verse poster. There are so many things to do with a verse poster!! We will keep posting pictures of verse posters and things to do with them, so click on the "verse poster" label below for more ideas!

 

This specific verse had two key parts we wanted to drive home, gentle and harsh. We decided to attach real objects to the verse poster for this verse. We used sand paper for the "harsh" and cotton balls for "gentle."

 

In my experience, it was easiest to glue the cotton balls on after the cotton balls had been pulled apart, then gently re-rolled into loose cotton strips. i also began the project tearing sand paper, but found that cutting it with sciscors made the word more readable. The outcome may be different for finer grit sand paper. Elmer's bottle glue was very helpful.

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.
