Following Connie at Wardssward's example, I thought it timely to list all of the verses boy has memorized for kindergarten and first grade. This will be a good opportunity to look back and begin some type of a review of said verses.
Many of the verse selections were from our curriculum and hind sight being 20:20, I would have, and now do, let the Spirit lead us more personally in our verse selection. Some were really hard for a young boy to memorize. I like Connie's idea of picking shorter, but no less meaningful, verses. Of course, they are all God's truth, so we hide them in our hearts none the less!

We use a spiral bound 5X7 index card book that we write our verses in. We decorated the cover and it then sets up when propped open on our writing table. Boy now writes the verses himself (in cursive!). It will make a wonderful keepsake.
Boy also memorizes verses with his sunday school class, but I've not kept track of them.
Do you have any special scripture memorization tips and tricks you use with your kids?
