Teaching tip 29 - Memory verses on cardboard discs.
Teaching tip 29 - Memory verses on cardboard discs.In Newsletter 25, I shared a number of ways in which I teach memory verses (Teaching tip 13). Here is another simple, but popular, method.
Cut out a number of cardboard discs - about 20 cm. in diameter is ideal. Write your memory verse on the discs - one or two words per circle.
Without prior warning, get out your discs, and quickly "skim' them towards the children. State "This is our memory verse. Everyone who has caught a disc, come out to the front and arrange the verse in the right order as quickly as you can. I will time you to see how long it takes you to get it in the right order."
After you have explained the verse, and got the children to repeat it, you can get the children holding the discs to turn them over - one or two at a time - while the class keep reciting the verse until they can do it with no words visible.
