Bible Memory Verses...
Sticking it in Their Ear Should be Fun - NOT Painful!

Quick - Hide It!

Bible memory verses should be memorized or "hidden" in your kid's heart.

The good news is that Bible memorization can be lots of fun too!

Mix it Up!

Don't be predictable and slow.

Mix it up, blend ideas and keep 'em moving! Don't just use one game - vary it from week to week or at least every few weeks.

With any kid's Bible games or activities...keep them snappy...don't let them drag! If you aren't careful you'll wind up with bored kids and worse...discipline problems.

Turn on the Light!

Once again... don't underestimate what you can do with the Holy Spirit's help.

Pray and ask God to unleash your creativity too. Take some time to muse and "strategize" with God. Let Him turn that light on.

See what God shows you! I mean, everyone likes to brainstorm, right? Well, can you name someone you'd rather brainstorm with than God? I didn't think so!

Let's Take a Look

Let's take a look at some Bible memorization games and activities. Many have been used for years but we've added a creative twist or tweak here and there to update them a bit. We've also got a few original ideas we think they're worth a try.

Here's an example of an idea God gave us a few months ago. It's a variation of a classic game - PICK UP STICKS.

This game literally makes Bible memory verses ...STICK. That's what it's all about isn't it? I mean if we could pick one "take home" for your kids each week- wouldn't that be it? To STICK the word of God deep in their heart?

The game uses real wood sticks and incorporates Power Point slides too. It's the best of both worlds engaging kids physically and visually...classic game with a current twist to it.

The cool thing is that kids handle the Bible scripture verses over and over. They read, hear, speak, HANDLE and ultimately hide them in their heart. Literally, before your eyes kids quickly "PICK UP" the verse! Bible memorization couldn't be more effective.
