Parents Can Make Scripture Memory Simple, Easy and FUN

girl laying on grass TIP: Have your child make flash cards, with verses on one side and Scripture references on the other. Lots of colorful markers and paper can make the task a breeze. Ask your child to draw a picture of what the verse means alongside the verse.

TIP: Spend five or 10 minutes at bedtime helping your child remember his verses. Then repeat them at breakfast the next morning.

TIPS FROM PARENTS OF AWANA KIDS

Awana Quick Tip #    1
"My 8-year old daughter sleeps in the top bunk. She tapes her verse to the ceiling. Every night before she falls asleep, she reads them through a couple of times."
--Dad, from Elgin, IL

Awana Quick Tip #    2
"Print the first letter of each word in a verse on a chalkboard or index card. As your child uses the first letters as clues to the next word, he is actually memorizing the verse."
--Cindi W., Milwaukee, WI
Awana Quick Tip #    3
"When your child is having difficulty learning a section, reverse the roles. Ask your child to 'teach' the section to you. This helps both you and your child learn the verse."
--William B. Tucker, Bonita Springs, FL
Awana Quick Tip #    4
"My Cubbie daughter loves bedtime. I make her Jumper book part of the nighttime routine. We spend a few minutes going over the verses. At the next morning's breakfast table, we see how much she remembers!"
--Kim K. Port Orchard, WA
