Days of Creation t-shirts
I bought 7 men's size small t-shirts and used fabric markers to illustrate a day of Creation on each. Day 1 I left blank; day 2 I hot glued cotton balls on the front, and so on. I wrote the number of the day on the back of each shirt.We had 7 volunteers put on the shirts and line up in front - NOT in order. The rest of the kids took turns putting them in the correct order. Then they kids with the shirts turned around so everyone could see if they had guessed the order correctly.
Bouncing the Memory Verse
We had the kids get into a circle. Then each kid would bounce the ball rhythmically to the verse.
After bouncing the ball while repeating the memory verse for several weeks, not many kids seem to get the rhythm part of it, but it gives them something else to do. This is active learning.
