I wanna memorize scripture... "AWANA"

Have you ever memorized a verse from the Bible? How about more than one?
How do you learn best?
​
​Are you a kinesthetic (touch and manipulation) learner?
Are you an auditory (listening and talking) learner?
Maybe you are a visual learner?

These are important questions to ask about yourself and about your child's learning strengths and weaknesses. As a mother of a child with a learning disability, I can tell you its very valuable to learn HOW your child learns and use this information to help them succeed in learning. I've been a teacher for many years and I like to set learners up for success, it helps them to learn to love learning! 

Alright now, back to my first thought and question: Have you ever memorized a verse from the Bible?
If the answer is yes or no, I hope this blog entry will leave you wanting to try again and again to draw closer to God through His holy word the Bible.

In Awana we teach the scripture and practice with manipulatives. I was just designing and making new materials for this purpose and wanted to offer one of them to you for FREE. Outside of my office (the room next to the nursery, at our Marietta campus at Legacy Church) you will see wooden boxes with papers. This worksheet is in there and FREE for you to take home.  

• First you draw a picture or sketch ideas of what you think the verse means to you.
• Second you write the verse or trace it over the highlighter (for younger children). Encourage them to say it as they write it.
• Third you read your  verse to someone else. There are six check boxes, one for each time you do this.
• Lastly, you celebrate this accomplishment and thank our Heavenly Father for His truth in this book.
