Words of Promise: Look up verses to complete the puzzle.
For this activity you will work in teams to look up Bible verses to find the missing word from a promise of God. Then you will find and circle the word in the word search puzzle.
Divide the children into pairs. If there is an odd number of children, form a team of three children. Try to place one child who is experienced with using the Bible on each team.
Give a pencil and a word search page to each child.
Give the teams about 10 minutes to look up each verse containing a promise from God. Have them fill in the blanks with the answers.
Older students can probably find the words in the puzzle without your help.
For younger students, go over each sentence quickly and have the teams say their answers aloud.
Write each missing word on the board as it is revealed.
Give the teams a few minutes to find the words in the puzzle and circle them. The words can be formed in any direction: frontward, backward, diagonally, or up or down.
If time is short, give each child a page. Have them start working on it in class, then finish it at home.
Conclusion: The Bible is full of God’s promises for any situation we may face! Let’s keep learning more about the Lord and His promises as we study His Word!
