by Mark Jones and Lynn Jordan
11. Mankind, He has told you men what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
Block Sleeve: Use Block Buster blocks and add a sleeve around each block made from scrape laminating film. Print the words on separate strips of paper and insert each word into a sleeve. Stack the blocks (words) in order.
12. But I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44

13. And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
Matthew 21:22
Wheels: Create two matching paper circles (wheels) from card stock. Bind together with a brad through the center of each circle. Cut a small window about an inch long and quarter inch high on one side of the top wheel for words to appear as the back wheel turns. Write the words of the verse through the window in random order. Kids must turn the wheel to the correct word as they speak it. Races can be fun.
14. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Mark 13:31

Allow the kids to eat the popsicles, and then place the sticks in order.
