Craft and Do
1) God’s Promises Pillowcase
Use an old or inexpensive cotton pillowcase and permanent markers or fabric paints to personalize it with reassuring and comforting verses. Tie-dye it or sew soft ribbon or lace around the edges to make it more decorative. Consider verses such as: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe” Psalm 4:8. “He who keeps you will not slumber” Psalm 121:2. Or any favourite verse. For older children, have them use a concordance to find key words like "sleep" or "safety". This is a great Bible study activity, as well.
2) Make Scripture memory placemats out of 11”x14” construction paper, poster board, or paper - one for each family member and a few extras for guests. Print a different verse on each placemat; decorate them with correlating pictures and drawings and laminate (clear mac-tac works well). Take turns at the table saying the “placemat” verses before or after each meal. Create memory links with food-themed verses like, “But the fruit of the Spirit is…" (Galatians 5:22-23) and Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life", etc. (John 6:35)
