We have to think about how to find which Bible verse to use. Then think about maybe shortening it for the young people to sing and remember easily. There are different ways you can help the young people remember it too, through:
1. Pick out the Bible Verses that maybe you are going to use.
2. Read and work out which Bible verse is really good to use. A verse that gets the main meaning from the story. 3. Check the verse with another Christian leader, to make sure it says the main theme for the whole story. 4. Shorten the Bible verse if needed to help young people keep thinking about it. 5. There are different ways you can help the young people to continue thinking about the memory verse… a. Either write or print out each word of the memory verse on A4 sheets and maybe laminate them. Have different young people hold up the paper. Make the young people work out which one is first, then next, right up until you finish the verse. You could also separate the memory verse word for word.
b. Write the Memory verse on coloured balloons. c. Use youth rap beats (with no words) available from me or make up your own beat with the keyboard to add your memory verse to. Put actions to the verse. Keep doing the memory verse until they sing it at fellowship.
Check out....
d. Game (with glow in the dark sticks or stick from ground)
i) Write out or print the memory verse clearly (at least twice).
ii) Cut up the separate phrases. iii) Separate the colours of the glow-in-the-dark sticks or pick different coloured sticks from a tree/ground. iv) Stick all of one memory verse to the stick that is one colour. At the game site
iv) Put the paper out on the ground for the young people to go and collect. Ready to play v) The teams look around for a colour each. vi) When the young people find their coloured words, they bring them back and put the verse together. vii) The first team that puts it together and reads it out to the leader wins. d. Make a puzzle with the memory verse
Without knowing language you can...
-supply verse printed (on coloured paper) provide beats, - demonstrate it in English with actions then split into language groups to create the rap. A person who knows the language can... -shorten (if need be) -lead the group creating the rap in their language. Thanks to:
Rachel Borneman with Margaret Mickan (AuSIL) for putting the process together of how to find the Bible verse to think about and maybe make it shorter for the young people this process in 2013. Andy Pyman for the 'Game *with Glow in the Dark sticks)' that he prepared before attending Youth Camp (Yangbala Kemp) with Wycliffe Ministry and Discovery trip in 2008. Wendy Rayner for the puzzle ideas which came form the 'Scripture Union Solomon Island Sunday School Material'. |
