What a blessing it is to know that God shares his goodness with everyone. Even people who don’t believe in Him are inundated with His goodness and grace. This shows how abundantly good and loving our Lord is. Play this memory verse game with your preschoolers to help them learn that the Lord is good to everyone!

How to play this Bible memory verses game:

There are 2 ways to play this game.

Number one: community workers

Gather some community worker costumes and hats. You can make your own, or you can buy some costumes at a local party store that may be near you. Look for costumes for community workers, such as police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, grocery clerks, construction workers, and waiters or waitresses. The more accessories you use, the more fun your kids will have.

Place all of the costumes in a bucket that you will take out of. Have a child come over and dress them in one of the costumes. Let’s say you choose a police officer’s uniform. Let the child stand in front of the rest of the class. Then say the following:

This is Jake (or whatever the boy is called). He is a police officer. Work hard to keep us safe.

Let’s tell Jake that God loves him by saying Psalm 145: 9: The Lord is good to everyone!

Be sure to invite the children to say Psalm 145: 9 with you.

Help the child remove the costume. Pick a new child to put on a new costume and play the same game.

Number two: all over the world

Gather some colorful pictures of children from around the world. It would be nice to turn the images into “popsicle” puppets by simply adding a popsicle stick or tongue depressor to the bottom of the image. Put all the pictures in a basket or box so that the popsicle sticks stick out.

Ask a child to come over and pull out a “puppet.” Then say the following:

This is Akiko. (Choose a name that you think reflects the nationality of the child’s photo.) Akiko is from Japan.

Let’s tell Akiko that God loves her by saying Psalm 145: 9: The Lord is good to everyone!

Be sure to invite the children to say Psalm 145: 9 with you.

That’s! This Bible memory verse game will give your preschoolers many opportunities to learn and recite Psalm 145: 19.
