Scripture
Let’s get into the Bible and memorize this scripture together!
Get excited about God’s truth! Create a group chant with hand signs to help you remember today’s scripture verse.
- Invite your Buddies to stand up and shake out their wiggles before you begin memorizing today’s scripture.
- Create a chant using hand signs to help them memorize today’s scripture:
But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. God is generous. He enjoys giving to all people, so God will give you wisdom
- Practice several times inviting different students to lead the group
But if any of you (Point to everyone in the room)
needs wisdom, (Touch pointer fingers to your temples)
you should ask God for it, (Put arms straight up in the air, palms open)
God is generous. (Spread out your arms wide in front of you, palms open)
He enjoys giving to all people, (Point to all of the Garden Buddies)
so God will give you wisdom. (Put arms in front of you, palms open.)
James 1:5 (Clap out the rhythm of words)
