MIX THE MAGNETS
The kids in my family enjoy playing with the word magnets on the refrigerator. They often come up with sentences that say things such as "My brother eats hot dogs on the floor" or "Once upon a time the princess runs in the cornfield."
Though there are a lot of word magnets in those store-bought sets - why not make your own word magnets? Buy strips of adhesive-backed magnets at your local hobby store. Write (or have your child write) the words of the verses on a paper and cut into pieces - one word on a piece. Cut a small square of magnet, attach to the back and put on the refrigerator. Mix them up on the front of your refrigerator and encourage your child to put them in correct order. You could continue to do this with several verses. You will probably be using many of the words over and over again.
