Any kind of competition is good for kids. Quizzes, tests, scripture memorization.
I memorized the 23rd psalm when I was 9 because the first one to memorize the whole thing won a prize.
I did it for competition, not because I loved the bible. And that one memorized passage stuck with me for my whole life.
I would say to never underestimate the Power of scripture, especially when memorized.
Also, songs were a big impact as well. Memorized songs...
Jesus loves me, this I know
for the bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
they are weak but He is Strong.
Yes, Jesus Loves me.
Yes, Jesus Loves me.
Yes, Jesus Loves me, the bible tells me so.
Simple childs song. But super powerful if you memorize it and believe it.
