Verse to GO!

1 Chronicles 29:14b (NLT)

Today’s Bible memory verse is 1 Chronicles 29:14b. Say the memory verse slowly.

“Everything we have has come from You, and we give You only what You first gave us!”

1 Chronicles 29:14b

Let’s practice the first part of the verse we learned the last time.

Stand facing the children and help them to repeat phrases and imitate the motions.

Everything we have … hold both arms wide open and look around.

Has come from You… hold both arms up and point to the sky.

Repeat slowly a few more times.

You did a good job with the first part of the verse!

Now, let’s learn the second part of the verse.

And we give you … hold both hands with palms up and reach to the sky.

Only what You first gave us … lower hands slowly (as if receiving a gift coming down)

Repeat slowly two more times.

Good job! Now let’s say the whole verse together.

Everything we have … hold both arms wide open and look around.

Has come from You… hold both arms up and point to the sky.

And we give you … hold both hands with palms up and reach to the sky.

Only what You first gave us … lower hands slowly (as if receiving a gift coming down)

Optional: Look around the room. Children respond.

Everything you see came from God. Everybody God created and breathed life into them.

Look outside (if the room has windows). God gave us every tree, every animal, the sun, the moon, stars and sky. He gave us the rain, the clouds and the wind. God gave us everything we need because He loves us.

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.
