WEEK 3 - MEMORY VERSE MEMORY VERSE: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Heads or Tell-a-Verse MATERIALS: Coin that you can flip that has both a head and a tail. SET UP: Divide the children into two groups. Let them know that to play this game they must know the memory verse they have been practicing the last few weeks. TO PLAY: One member of each team goes up to the The leader a coin. Have one child call her desired side of the coin while the coin is in the air. The child who gets her side up has a chance to say the verse. If the can say it with no help at all, without missing any words, their team receives 5 points. Each time the leader has to give the child a word to help her, she has to give up one of her points. (Leaders: Be sure that you do not give a word until the child asks for it.) Make sure the child is aware that when the leader tells him or her a word that it will cost him a point, but the student who is trying to say the verse should only have a reasonable amount of time in which to say it. The game should go as quickly as possible. If someone, on either team, gives a word to the person trying to say the verse, it will cost their team two points! Be sure they know this rule. The game is over when one on each team has had a chance to do the coin toss once. Hint: If you want to break the group in half, it might go quicker to have two games at once. Be sure that the groups are far enough away that they can’t hear each other at all.
