Session Three
Verse Memorization Game
Older and Younger Children
Move it or Lose It
Many children learn best by moving. A creative way to break up long lengths of sitting still is to brainstorm motions with the students to match their memory verse. When children learn movements they are less likely to “lose it” from their memory.
