How to Implement Bible Verses for Toddlers and Preschoolers to Memorize

Over the years, I have tried different methods but all of them are worth doing because they are putting the word of God into their little hearts and forming their believes in their Creator from an early age.  What seems to work most effectively is start with part of the verse when you first introduce it.  For example, when a child is disobeying say, “Children obey your parents.”  After several times of the child hearing these words, I would then add, “Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right.”  After a few months of hearing my instructions and telling the child “Honey, the Bible says… “, it amazes me that the child is able to dictate the verse for the situation.

As the child grows with these scriptures, you can then ask the child, “Honey, what does the Bible say about what you did?”  Each time, my children are able to tell me the correct verse, word for word. I truly can’t imagine parenting any different.  Well, maybe having someone dictating scriptures to me when I need to hear them!
