Helping children to memorize bible verse

Set aside time and make it fun

Make it intentional and make it fun. Preferably in a more relax setting and not in a rush  (not fifteen minutes before AWANA starts)

Talk through the verse 

Make sure your child has a basic understanding of the verse context and the meaning of any unfamiliar words

Know your child's learning style

Understand your child's learning style and use it to help him/her learn. 3 basic learning styles: auditory, visual, kinetic.

Auditory 

• what the child hears stick in their heads

Visual 

• child remembers better when they can see it

Kinetic 

• Child learns by movement, body motion.

Act it out

Put hand motions to the verse and have your child act it out. Or ask your child to come up with their hand motions. 

Pass it on

Get an object you can pass back and forth, such as a ball, or a stuffed animal. You and your child stand at a distance apart so that he/she can easily catch it. As you pass the object back and forth, take turns to say a word of the bible verse. 

Write it

Simply have the children write it down on paper, copy it a few times, or use different color for each word,
