Are you trying to teach your kids memory verses?
Kids have such an open mind and can absorb SO much information when they are young. Their minds are like sponges, soaking up everything.
It’s so important to teach them as young as you posssibly can in order to get the jewels of God tucked inside their hearts WHILE their minds are open and absorbing so much. It’ll carry them through the rest of their life! 🙏
I still remember some of the memory verses I memorized as a kid, so I’m living proof that it DOES carry over well into adulthood. 🥰
I remember doing my favorite craft of all-time as a kid. I remember being in Awana’s and having tons of fun. When you make things fun for kids, it becomes memorable to them!
Here’s a list of every Bible verse for kids that starts with a-z to get you started!!!
Use these Bible verses for kids a to z in ways that connect to your child and get them having F-U-N!

Psalm 119 is a perfect example of that. The psalm is divided into 22 stanzas and each stanza corresponds to one of the 22 characters of the Hebrew language alphabet. This is how they were memorizing large texts of the Bible! ❤️
