Here’s a variation on the memory verse game “erase-a-word.” (see the tip for 4/15/96.)Instead of having the children erase a word, let them pick a letter of the alphabet and erase every occurance of the letter in the verse. Have the children say the verse after each child is finished until they know the verse.
In a mixed age group this can be a great opportunity to get the youngest ones involved since preschoolers often know their A-B-Cs.
