The verse
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
— Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
Big idea: God made everything — the whole world began with Him.
What's inside the pack
- Memory verse page — the full text of Genesis 1:1 in large print, with ruled lines for copying it out by hand.
- Word search — a 12×12 grid hiding 4 words taken from the passage itself, running across, down, diagonally, forwards and backwards.
- Fill in the blanks — the verse with 4 words removed, a word bank to choose from, and a drawing box for the big idea.
- Teacher's page — what the verse means in kid-friendly language, 3 teaching ideas, a memory tip, and the full answer key.
How to use it
Print the pack single-sided on US Letter or A4 — the layout fits both. For younger children (ages 4–6), use page 1 as a tracing and colouring sheet and skip the word search. For ages 7–10, the word search and fill-in-the-blanks work as a complete 20-minute lesson. Older children can do the whole pack independently while you teach the passage.
Memory tip: It's short — perfect for even toddlers to say together.
