Memorizing Scripture is powerful because the Word of God is our only offensive weapon against the enemy. Jesus used memorized Scripture when He faced temptation, which shows how much we need it too. Kids are especially strong at memorizing because of how their brain develops, so this season is the perfect time to fill their minds with truth instead of random pop culture info. Parents can support this through AWANA programs, Scripture based music, Scripture memory apps, the Topical Memory System, and old school note cards. Surrounding yourself with verses keeps your mind sharp, strengthens your faith, and helps you fight temptation in real time.

Teaching the Bible to kids can feel like a battle some days, but making family devotions interactive changes everything. Acting out Bible stories keeps kids engaged and helps them remember the lesson. You can use costumes, props, stuffed animals, toys, or everyday objects to bring scenes to life. Building Jericho with blocks, filling Noah’s ark with toy animals, or pretending the couch is a boat turns Scripture into a hands on experience. For memory verses, using motions or silly voices makes learning fun and easy. Adding simple praise and worship with homemade instruments brings energy into the room. Kids can also draw the Bible story or their prayer requests while reviewing the lesson. Staying consistent at the same time each day helps build a rhythm. And if you want structure, there are solid devotional books that guide families through short, meaningful lessons.
