Memorable Verses for Children (+Giveaway!)

Posted by Marsha | 1 comment

We require our kids to remember many things– address, phone number, where mommy left the car in the parking lot this time…  In our homeschool we even have them learn information like the times tables (or skip counting), phonics rules, names of US Presidents (or not!), and even what is released when you mix baking soda and vinegar!

However, how many of us require our children to memorize Bible verses on a daily basis– at home?   I have been personally guilty of leaving this up to the great teachers at our church, be it in Sunday School or our Wednesday night Masters Club program.  With the list of ABC verses below, we can help our children hide God’s Word in their hearts.   It won’t take but a few minutes a day and it will be remembered long after they’ve forgotten how to spell onomatopoeia, let alone what it is!
