  • Write verses on index cards to put in your child's Bible, backpack or lunchbox or tape them to the mirror or refrigerator.
  • Write out Bible verses using colorful pens or markers, then cut each word out and mix them up on the floor. Play a game as you put the verse back in order or make into a memory match game.
  • Try adding hand/body motions to verses to make memorization easier and fun.
  • Allow your child to pick a book of the Bible, book or devotional to read with you at breakfast or bedtime.
