The verse
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
— Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)
Big idea: God delights in me and sings over me with joy.
What's inside the pack
- Memory verse page — the full text of Zephaniah 3:17 in large print, with ruled lines for copying it out by hand.
- Word search — a 12×12 grid hiding 9 words taken from the passage itself, running across, down, diagonally, forwards and backwards.
- Fill in the blanks — the verse with 8 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: Picture God smiling and singing — delight, not disappointment.
