We’re Learning… God made everything.
Bible Story: The Beginning ● Genesis 1

As a family, read “The Beginning” (Genesis 1) from the Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, complete the activity together.

Memory Verse Activity:

Activity Supplies: Playlist

• Say, “Let’s do an activity to help us remember God made everything!”
• Lead your toddler in the activity below.
• Practice saying the memory verse and doing the motions a few times.
  “God created (stack fists on top of each other)
  the heavens (point up)
  and the earth.” (point down)
  Genesis 1:1 (open hands like a book)

• Then play the Praise Party playlist and have a dance party with your toddler.
• After about 30 seconds, pause the music and encourage your toddler to stand very still or FREEZE.
• Lead them in saying the memory verse with the motions.
• After saying the verse, turn the music on again and repeat the activity every 30 seconds for as long as your toddler is interested.
• After the activity, say, “Great job! Who made everything?” Encourage your toddler to say, “God made everything!” Then lead your toddler in prayer:

“Dear God, thank You for making so many good things, even all of us! When we look at all the good things You’ve made, please help us remember how much You love us. We love You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
