Psalms are full of thankfulness!
Here are a few quick ideas:
Coloring sheets with the words from the Psalm to help the children memorize the words:
- Psalm 107
- another Psalm 107
- Psalm 118
- Psalm 136 - this one is not as fancy as the others, demonstrating you could make a basic coloring sheet yourself with whichever verse you are learning.
- search for the verse you are looking for + coloring page and you will find more!
And this downloadable book has puzzles, games and crafts in addition to coloring sheets.
There are links to coloring sheets and activities for preschoolers here.
And Psalms are filled with action words that can turn into games! For example:
- what about a memory/matching game using Bible story pictures to go along with Psalm 136. Here is a great site with lots of Bible story pictures you can use for this and other games.
- And Psalm 107 has lots of images and action words that would become a terrific relay race, obstacle course, or game using water!
The What's in the Bible dvd series covers Psalms in general in dvd #8: "Words to Make Us Wise." Supporting Members can see an outline of the video and suggestions on how to use it here.
