I have been wanting to start ABC Bible Verses with my children. I want them to master a verse of the bible starting with each letter of the alphabet. We will take our time considering they are young, but I figured about a month per verse.
After several hours of arguing between my two children one day, I decided it was time to start our ABC Bible Verses. Verse number 1: A soft word turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. Perfect.
I typed out the verse on a colored piece of paper and put them at the table with the verse and two white papers and crayons. After having them repeat the verse after me several times I asked them to draw a picture that shows what the verse means...
Here is Hunter showing off his art work. He drew a happy man (in blue) and a mad man (in red) and wrote the words "happy" and "anger" under them.
Here is his art work displayed on the fridge. The verse hangs above it and we talk about using our soft words many times a day!

I love this, and intend to be teaching it to my kids this month also. Where did you fine this ABC Bible Verses idea? It is awesome! Good for mom's too, I didn't grow up in church so never memorized alot of verses myself. . .
I got it from the blog "Forever n ever" on my blogroll. Actually, it's her homeschooling blog, but it has a link off her thing...verse "B" is going to be:
"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." Acts 16:31...if you have any good activites to go with it let me know! :0)
That's a great idea!
I like that even his angry man is smiling. :) Your kids make me happy!
