Tips for Bible Memory:
It's easier to memorize the passage if you know what it means. Spend the first couple days talking about what it means. Draw pictures, write about it in your journal, make up a story based on it, etc.
It's easier to memorize the passage if it's personally meaningful. Each person could share one thing that is special to them.
It's easier to memorize if you use many of your senses... hear it, read it, jump up and down as you say it, etc. We printed out passage on paper for each person to read as we recite it together.
It's easier to memorize if you use a sing-songy voice! I've found the KJV is easier for this.
It's easier to memorize if you repeat it many, many times. Mealtimes are especially conducive for this.
I'm looking forward to your participation!!

We believe that knowledge of the Bible, God's Word,
is essential for our children (in fact, for all people).
That's why, several years ago, we developed a Bible curriculum
specific for homeschooling. Read more...
This blog is designed to give you practical ideas you can use today
