Learning Bible Verses the Easy Way for the Bible Bee

Here are three videos of verses. We used a Karaoke machine that someone generously loaned us. My friend, Misti, got a kid's CD to go with the machine and I put the verses to the songs. We have Romans 5:7-8 to Bingo, I John 4:14-15 to Grand Ol' Flag, and Romans 10:10-11 to Farmer in the Dell. Be aware that this is not official Bible Bee material. It is taken from their Bible verse cards. |

Having Fun with the Bible Bee

We are working on Bible Bee material daily. There is so much to learn! It is very challenging. I am trying to come up with ideas of how to best memorize the verses and other material. I learn better when I see and hear and interact with things so I am trying to do that for the kids as we study. Here are some of the things we have done to learn the Bible verses:
*Writing the verse on a chalkboard or dry erase board and erasing a couple of words at a time and trying to say the verse.
* Making up signs for a verse using American Sign Language or just some made up signs.
* Make up a slap-clap to a verse( see example video).
*Make a rebus of the verse.
*We have posted the verses for the day by the kitchen sink and in the bathroom.
*We are meeting on Wednesday nights to go over material and encourage the kids. Last week, we had all the kids try to put a verse to a song they knew. They did a good job and it was fun. Here are some ideas:Romans 12:2 to Old McDonald had a Farm,Isaiah 26: 3-4 to Mary Had a Little Lamb,John 1:1-2 to Yankee Doodle, Psalm 34:4-5 to Amazing Grace.Sometimes even if the songs are not that good the child still learned the verse while trying to make it a song.
 *This week the homework is to draw a picture of a verse and try to incorporate the verse reference. As an illustration, I drew a picture of a thief with a shirt on that said his name was "John". He was carrying a "10-10 " rifle ( I know there is no such thing but it gets the point across) The thief was saying, " I come only to steal and kill and destroy." Then on the other half of the paper Jesus said " I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
* I made up some online games to review the Bible Knowledge Quiz Cards:
Thanks Misti for helping me with the videos. http://elearning-games.umcrookston.edu/InterGames1/KnowMill.asp?GameID=biblebeegames_000 http://elearning-games.umcrookston.edu/InterGames1/KnowMill.asp?GameID=biblebeegames_001 *Dr.Lim also has a fun site to play. It is not an official Bible Bee site but it has good review games on books like Matthew: http://www.tagnet.org/grandforks/flashgames.htm I have 3 videos that show some of what we have done. |
