Vanishing Words!
What You’ll Need
Chalkboard or dry-erase board
Chalk or dry-erase markers

Order Up!
What You’ll Need
Bible or Bible app
3” x 5” index cards
Pen or pencil
What You’ll Do
Write a Bible verse on blank index cards, one word per card. Mix up the cards. In teams or individually, have children lay out the cards in the correct order.
Find My Mistake!
What You’ll Need
A Bible or Bible app
Bible verses printed, including the “mistakes” you’ll want to make
What You’ll Do
Say a Bible verse out loud, but make an error—either change or omit an important word. Children should shout, “Found it!” when they catch your mistake. Then, say the verse correctly all together. Repeat with a new verse.
Editor’s note: Check out CTA’s “Books of the Bible” bookmarks, a great way to encourage Bible reading. They include the books of the Bible on the front and Scripture on the back.
