Craft:
You can check out this website to see
directions:
This particular dove was made out of a blown egg. I’d
suggest blowing the egg beforehand. Another alternative for the egg is a small
Styrofoam ball that you can find at craft stores.
Tell the Story:
You can find the story at Genesis 7-8:19. Focus on the part
about the dove trying to find land.

Memory Verse Game Ideas:
·
Act it out.
o Brainstorm
motions with the students to match their memory verse. When children learn
movements they are less likely to “lose it” from their memory.
·
Post It Cover Up
o For
this activity write the memory verse on the front board of the classroom.
Practice reading it once together and then use post-it notes to cover up one of
the words. Then, practice reading the verse again followed by covering up a
second word with post-it notes. Continue this pattern until the entire verse is
covered and the children are saying the verse from memory. This is an
interesting spin on traditional drilling of a verse by repetition. You could
also reverse the game beginning with some words covered and have children guess
the missing words.
·
Find, Assemble, and Read
o Put
each word from the verse onto separate sheets of paper. Hide them around and
have the kids find the words. Once the kids have found the words, congregate at
a meeting spot and assemble the sentence and read them.
·
Use Your Fingers
o Write
the key words to the verse in pudding or finger paint to help with
memorization.
·
Rainbow Words
o Write
the verse in the colors of the rainbow. Make sure each words is a DIFFERENT
color!
