  1. Make a sock puppet of a Bible character in your story and act it out.
  2. Act out a scene from their Bible story. 
  3. Create a video explaining the passage to a friend. 
  4. Make up a song about their Bible story.
  5. Use a Bible Activity Jar- Create a jar filled with simple Bible study activity cards. After reading a passage of Scripture, choose an activity out of the jar. Then, watch the fun begin!

  1. Do Bible journaling of a verse from their passage.
  2. Make Bible story stones about their story link to.
  3. Use Bible character clip art to make stick puppets of the characters in your story and retell it.
  4. Draw a cartoon strip of your story.
  5. Use Bible study templates for kids: Bible study templates for kids are a simple way to help kids understand what they read in God’s Word and develop a firm foundation of faith on their own. Plus, teaching kids to study the Bible will help them unlock God’s Word even through adulthood.

Bible Activities to Practice Memory Verse

Memorizing Scripture is one of the best ways to help children hide the Word of God in their heart. If they can remember it, they will have more of a chance of living it out in everyday life. 

Check out the activities below for ideas to help with memory verse practice: 

  1. Make up hand motions to retell their Bible verse.
  2. Create a puzzle out of their Scripture memory verse and see how fast they can put it together.
