What a blessing it is to know that God shares His goodness with everyone. Even people who don’t believe in him are bathed in his goodness and grace. This shows how abundantly good and loving our Lord is. Play this memory verse game with your preschoolers to help them learn that the Lord is good to everyone!
How to play this bible verse memory game:
There are 2 ways to play this game.
Number one: community workers
Gather some community worker costumes and hats. You can make your own, or you can buy some costumes at a local party store near you. Find costumes for community workers such as police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, grocery store clerks, construction workers, and waiters or waitresses. The more accessories you use, the more fun your kids will have.
Place all the costumes in a bucket that you will be digging out of. Have a child come up and dress him in one of the costumes. Let’s say you choose a police officer’s uniform. Let the child stand in front of the rest of the class. Then say the following:
This is Jake (or whatever the boy’s name is). He is a police officer. He works hard to keep us safe.
Let’s tell Jake that God loves him by telling him Psalm 145:9 – The Lord is good to everyone!
Be sure to invite the children to recite Psalm 145:9 with you.
Help the child to remove the costume. Choose a new kid to put on a new costume and follow the same way of playing.
Number two: all over the world
Gather some colorful images of children from around the world. It would be cute to possibly turn the images into “ice popsicle” puppets simply by adding a popsicle stick or tongue depressor to the bottom of the image. Place all the images in a basket or box so that the popsicle sticks will stand out.
Have a child come up and pull out a “puppet.” Then say the following:
This is Akiko. (Choose a name that she thinks reflects the nationality in the child’s photo.) Akiko is from Japan.
Let’s tell Akiko that God loves her by telling her Psalm 145:9 – The Lord is good to everyone!
Be sure to invite the children to recite Psalm 145:9 with you.
That’s all! This Bible verse memory game will give your preschoolers lots of opportunities to learn and recite Psalm 145:19.
