Methods and resources for teaching Bible verses to kids.

An important part of keeping your kids in the Word is helping them to memorize it! Hiding scripture in their hearts is a skill and a habit that will benefit them for life.

There are many ways you can help kids to memorize scripture. Different methods work for different kids, so keep trying until you find just the right one for your family!

How We Memorize Scripture

In our family, we put up one scripture poster a week to work on together. Sometimes we write it out and sometimes we find free downloads to print. My kids learn best with some kind of visual. Homeschool Creations has some great printable scripture pages.

However, we also often make our own just by writing out the scripture and drawing an image to go with it. Even stick figures work. It doesn't have to be fancy! Just memorable.

We also work together to come up with hand motions to go with the scripture. It helps jog their memory when needed. When they're able to recite a scripture and its reference without help, we move on to another one. Scriptures are reviewed periodically to keep them fresh.

Methods and Tools to Memorize Scripture

Sometimes you have to try different things to find the right fit for you and your kids. Here are several ideas to get you started.

I love this hands-on approach at I Can Teach My Child. Lots of great ideas for making it a kinesthetic experience!
