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.

Second Grade - 2 Thessalonians 3:3 - December - Hide The Word

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3

This verse is the December verse for 2nd grade. One of the possible activities is a perforation.

To do a perforation, start with a fill in the blank worksheet, and a second worksheet with the words that belong in the blanks.

Cut the words for the blanks out.

 

 

 Mount the words on black (or any other color) construction paper with tape.

 

Take the paper to a carpet. Using a push pin, punch the pin through the paper layers, outlining each letter.

 

Remove the top white paper from the black construction paper.

 

Tape the colored construction paper onto the fill in the blank worksheet. (If you use glue, it will ooze through). You can see the white paper shining through the holes of the construction paper.

 

You can do this perforation with any verse or Bible class activity.

 

Attached to this blog are the worksheets for 2 Thessalonians 3:3, the December Hide the Word verse for 2nd Grade.

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.

5th Grade - Hide the Word - March - 1 Corinthians 1:10 - Jigsaw puzzle

This is a mail-out game or in class activity, depending on your time.  This is also an activity that can be used for basically any verse!  First buy jigsaw puzzles. We purchased a 24 piece puzzle from the Dollar Tree.

 

 

I assembled the puzzle, and spray painted the puzzle and the box.

 

 

 

After the pieces dried, I reassembled the puzzle and wrote a word or two on each piece. Alternatively, you can just ignore the puzzle piece lines and write over the puzzle, allowing words to be seperated by the puzzle breaks.

 

 

We taped the verse card to the front of the box to help with memorization. I hand wrote the verse card, but you can make copies or print it off on a computer.

 

 

This project didn't take very long to make, and was very inexpensive!

Kindergarten - Hide the Word - January - Proverbs 15:1

One day while searching for something else, I clicked and clicked and ended up at this super cool website!  I was so excited to find her and her great ideas!  This is a Kindergarten verse and this poster is very, very cool!!!

5th grade - Hide the Word - September - Romans 12:1-2 - Stained Glass

Stained Glass is a beautiful project to do with your class!  It is one of those things that mommas keep hanging in windows for years and years!

To do a stained glass you will need for each child: one piece of black construction paper, one overhead transparency, bottled glue and a bunch of 1" tissue paper squares.  You will also need either white crayons, white pencils or metallic pens for the kids to write with on the black paper and some baby wipes.

It is much harder to explain in words than to show you, but here goes...

Before class, cut the image you want.  Tape a transparency to one side of the image.  

 In class, give each child the transparency/black paper combo.  Have the kids turn the paper so that the black side is UP.  Using the white or metallic pens, have the kids write the verse.  Then FLIP the paper so that the transparency side is up.  Squeeze out some bottled glue.  Use their finger to smear the glue all over the area that "shines" through.  Once their fingers are clean, they stick tissue paper squares into the glue.  The Stained Glass will need to dry for a few hours, so the kids will need to leave them and take them home the next class time.

 I found this idea that is very similar...

5th Grade - Hide the Word - August - 1 Corinthians - Venn Diagram

As a teacher, I love Venn diagrams!  They foster deep, higher level thinking for your students.  This can be done in class as an individual worksheet or as a poster on butcher that you complete together.  The memory verse is 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 about your body being the new temple.  So for this activity you compare your body and the Lord's Temple that was in Jerusalem.

On the left, write things that only apply to the Lord's Temple.  On the right, write things that only apply to your body.  On the over-lapping circles, write things that are for both.

This is a wonderful way to assess your student's thinking and Biblical application.

4th Grade - Hide the Word - February - Romans 6:23 - Perforation

 Perforations are a lot of fun!  To do this activity, you must have carpet in your classroom or carpet squares.  You will also need one push pin for each child.  Staples sells over-sized push pins that are really nice to use.

Before class, prepare the verse worksheet with a few blanks.  Print the words for the blank in the same size font on another sheet of paper.  Cut each white word into a rectangle   Cut a black rectangle the same size as each white word rectangle.  Tape the black paper to the back of the white words.  In class, the kids use a push pin to trace the words, leaving about 1mm between each punch.  Once the word is fully punched, then gently remove the white word rectangle and throw it away.  Tape the black punched word in the blank.

The white from the paper shows through the black.  You can also put a piece of foil behind the black word to make the silver "shine" through.

This activity can be used with any verse.  Judge your kids self-control before doing this, but we have done it several times with first graders with success. :)
