Bible Cheer

To chant and cheer a phrase that will help the children remember the meaning of the Bible.

The children will identify the Bible as God's special message.

• Invite the children to form a circle.
• Lead the group in a cheer as follows, clapping and stamping:

?The Bible is the Book about God's love for us.?

• Tell the children to just listen to the words and the rhythm of the cheer the first two times.
• Then, ask the children to join in the clapping and the stamping.
• On the fourth time, have the children join in with both the words and actions.
• After the children have learned the cheer, switch the clapping and stamping to jumping or other actions, if you prefer.

Body Smart, Music Smart

Make sure the children have room to spread out so that they don't accidentally hit others or objects around them while doing the cheer.

If there are children in your group with special needs (physical, visual, hearing, language, or behavioral disabilities), adapt the activity accordingly.
