TAKE DOWN

Materials Needed:  Post-It notes, Sharpie pen.

Preparation:  Write one word on each Post-It note.  (To trigger the scripture recitation, have children say the reference at the beginning.  To reinforce where the verse is located, have them also say the reference at the end.)

Activity:  Have children read the Bible verse together three times which you have written on Post-It notes.  Choose a pupil to take down one of the words.  Everyone says the verse.  Select another child to take down another word.  Everyone reads the scripture.  Continue until all words have been removed and the verse is being quoted by memory.
