Verse to Go
Today’s Bible memory verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9. Say the memory verse slowly.
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.” Ecclesiastes 4:9
Now, let’s learn the verse together with some motions.
Stand facing the children and help them to repeat phrases and imitate the motions.
Two people… Hold one arm out with two fingers pointing up.
Are better off than one… Hold the other arm out with only the index finger pointing up.
Repeat a few more times slowly.
Optional: Make sure the children understand what it means to succeed.
The word "succeed" means to reach a goal or to complete a task you choose to do.
Let’s say a parent asks you to pick up all your toys in the backyard. To succeed, you must pick up all the toys. Now, what if a friend offers to help you; will the task go faster or slower? Faster!
Yes, correct; two people are better off than one, right? Your kind friend helped you to succeed even faster than you could on your own.
Note: Preschool children may not be able to memorize the entire verse. They may simply repeat it with you. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
