Family Fun Idea - Scripture Puzzle
July 7th, 2008 . by adminClick here for printable PDF version
Sometimes it’s hard to find fun ways to memorize scripture, but here’s an idea that your kids can use for every passage they want to learn. All you need is a piece of paper (card stock or cardboard work best, but any paper will do).
Have your child write his memory verse on the paper. Let him decorate it too.
If you have a young child, you can help her draw pictures instead of writing words on the puzzle. For example if you are learning John 3:16, you may draw a picture that represents God, then a heart for love and then draw a picture of the world, and so on until you have the whole verse in pictures.
After writing the verse on the puzzle, older children can use the rest of the space to make a picture that illustrates their verse. This will help it stick in their minds better.
When your children are done decorating their puzzles, all they have to do is cut them out. They can cut pieces in any shape they want, or they can draw directly onto one of these patterns: easy, hard.
