Hacksaw, Captain Hobbs and our
other friends through two exciting
adventures as they discover more
about the Creator’s Words.
In “What About Me?!”, Millard follows clues on a map to
uncover a buried treasure. Can he do it on his own or will he
have to band together with his friends? When Icabone Slink
finds out about the treasure, he sticks his snout in where it
doesn’t belong because he wants the treasure, too. Who will
find the treasure? Who will learn the secret?
Later, when things start disappearing from the island, our
friends must pursue Icabone Slink’s henchdragon to rescue
what’s missing. “Hide it In Your Heart” also shows us what real
treasure is.
Take a vacation from ordinary on Pahappahooey Island!

of the Creator’s Words. Here on the mainland, we struggle

On Pahappahooey Island, our friends treasure the Creator’s Words. In
“Hide it In Your Heart”, Ali and Fernando lead a group to recover many
keys to the Lost City. When they meet with the elders, they hear about the
most secure and most secret place to hide the keys—much better than
Millard’s fannypack. That secure and secret place is your heart.
Memorizing Bible passages is more difficult than eating Ravioli omelets
AT'IUSEPPESThis activity is designed to help you—and your child—
memorize Scripture. Each verse has a suggested method to memorize
the verse. These methods are intended to be laugh-creating, not tear-
inducing. Make this time special with your child next to you on the couch
or in the car. Or better yet, pull him or her into your lap.

s Dribble a basketball 11 times in a steady rhythm.
s Speak the verse out loud emphasizing the bold syllables when the ball
hits the floor or concrete. Don’t forget the dribble between the verse and
the address. It’s marked by the word “boom”.
Adding the word “boom” to your recitation can be extra fun. When you say
all of the verse, take a shot at the basket.

s Assemble an inexpensive 50-piece puzzle.
s Carefully turn the puzzle over so that picture
side is facing down and the brown side is facing up.
Ask your child to use large letters and carefully write
the following verse on the blank side. A marker like a Sharpie®
works best. Your child could even add a few pictures.
s Scramble up the puzzle pieces and put the puzzle together upside down.
s Once the puzzle is assembled, say the verse out loud.
Repeat the process as often as you want. You’ll probably find your children
assembling the puzzle themselves.

only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.

s Assign a word or words from the verse below.

Then, turn off all the outside lights so it’s as dark
as possible. Take turns saying the verse word
by word. Whoever has the words “declare” and
“announce” should shout them at the top of
their lungs. Some will forget their words.
Others will say their words out of sequence.
Laugh and have fun with it.
Take these instructions to heart in a fun way. Invite your children to talk about God’s word
“when you lie down and when you get up” by creating a door hanger for their bedrooms.
Supplies
One copy of the next page for each child participating. You may choose to print on cardstock
for sturdier and more durable door hangers.
