Here at the Hill Hangout, we’ve already covered why we memorize scripture. It’s life to us. We have also covered the technique we use in our homeschool to commit God’s word to heart. We have used this method for several years, and it is a tried and true way to get scripture into your head and into your heart. However, we occasionally like to make scripture memory a little more FUN. My children are little Picassos who remember things faster and more accurately if they can incorporate a little artwork into their lessons.
We pull out our markers and whatever verse we’re working on memorizing.
And then we doodle to our heart’s content. We use lots of colors, various media, colored paper, scissors, glue – whatever we need to make the verses stick.
I have to help LIttle Bit write her verse and then read it to her, but she gets into the artwork just like her big sister.
“I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11)
