First Grade - Matthew 5:44 - November - Hide the Word

"But I say unto you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44



Here is the one page of ideas for this verse.

The clothespin game is explained with pictures here.

The shrinky dink activity is explained here. We don't (yet) have the photos of the first grade doing it, so this is an older grade's verse, but the instructions are the same, of course.

This post here is the instructions and information about the wreath activity.

1st Grade - Hide the Word - November - Matthew 5:44 - Clothespin Game

"But I say unto you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44

 This is our mail-out game for the month.  It can be used for practically any verse in the Bible!  It is also cheap and quick to make!!!  To make, gather several wooden clothespins for each child.  You need to use an ultra-fine Sharpie to write on the clothespins.  Write a verse phrase on each clothespin.

 Then the kids sequence the clothespins to make the whole verse.  They can clip them onto a ruler, a wooden spoon, the edge of a folder or book.
