Let the children express their ideas. Hearing what the children think and feel will help you guide their learning. Find ways to use the verse repeatedly throughout the session and the unit. Remember that children have different abilities. Encourage each child to memorize, but don't be upset when some children do not respond as well as others.
Some children are especially good at memorizing and enjoy it.
For other children, memorizing is more difficult and less enjoyable. Keep the focus on understanding and following God's Word, whether the children can remember all the words or not. Use a variety of approaches to involve the children in the learning . Remember that everyone has a preferred style of learning. Make use of tools that will appeal to visual, auditory and bodily kinesthetic learners.
