Optional: Show the memory verse video. Children will learn the entire verse today.

Today’s Bible memory verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT). Say the memory verse slowly.

“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Circumstance is a big word, isn’t it? In this verse, the word means, at all times, no matter what happens, good or bad.

God’s will is what pleases Him or what He wants you to do or be. So, the verse says that God wants us to be thankful at all times.

Now, let’s learn the verse with some motions.

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

Be thankful… Smile and nod your head to acknowledge.

In all circumstances… Fully extend both arms out wide to the side.

For this is God’s will for you… Raise both arms as you point to the sky.

Who belong to Christ Jesus… Place both hands over your heart and bow down on one knee.

Repeat as necessary.

Make sure the children understand what circumstances mean in this verse.

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.
