lotsofpumpkins Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We all memorize the same verses and use the Simply Charlotte Mason Scripture Memory Box. We are getting ready to start using this method as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatashainDFW Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We will all be memorizing the same versus from Calvary Children's Curriculum. I think at this stage in all our religious education it is best to be on the same page in my household. My husband only came to Christ a few years ago and I honestly don't have as many scriptures memorized as I want so this will be a family project.

GalmiBorn Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 This year we will do both! I'm going to add portions of Scripture for us to memorize together but the kids will each have their own memory work through AWANA clubs. I really like AWANA but I missed having something we could all say together. So instead of just misc. verses, we will memorize three/four longer passages throughout the year.

edeemarie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I just googled this, I think it's a fantastic idea! It works really well! We are also using the same system for our poetry memorization:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like AWANA but I missed having something we could all say together. So instead of just misc. verses, we will memorize three/four longer passages throughout the year. I like that idea. I'm going to have some verses for us all to memorize (I was thinking some Psalms and parables to start with). But I'd like the older boys to do more. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoryChick Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Both. My children learn different verses from AWANA and curriculum, but we all memorize the same verses in CBS (Community Bible Study) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I forgot to mention that we are also working on memorizing hymns. I've been learning to play them on the piano anyway, so we decided to do one at a time, and keep singing it every day until we've learned all the verses. A few of us have also memorized the books of the Bible; we are reviewing those each day so that the younger dc can learn them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly1730 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We use MFW and all memorize the same verses. The entire book of James this year:ohmy:. The boys also do verses from their Wednesday night church program, we use Word of Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Both. We have memory pieces we do as a family, and often kids have particular sections they're studying on their own. It works for us. We also use SCM memory boxes. I highly recommend them. Each kid has their own, and I'm switching the family-wide memory work to a binder with the same set-up. (If you search for Mnemosyne on the board, a WTM poster has posted free printables for a binder.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 They memorize the same ones, which we pick out of our Sunday School curriculum. So all their classmates at church are also memorizing the same ones. It really helps my younger ds to memorize when he has to listen to his older sister recite hers. We continue to recite the ones we have memorized and just add one. This way, they learn them better, and it helps my younger ds, since he is usually a little behind his older sister.

MerryAtHope Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 When my kids were in AWANA they did different verses, but once they finished we all did the same ones. I also like the Topical Memory System which I had done in college--some good foundational verses. Another fun idea is to pick a longer passage to work on for awhile. Have fun!

lotsofpumpkins Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The entire book of James this year That's impressive! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOCoffee Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I just Googled the CM memory boxes system and WOW! I am going to try doing this. We are not memorizing, and I know we should be. Can't wait to get this set up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Same. We use the Memory Box. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyOBoy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Wow! I really like the memory box idea. My cache of memorized scripture verses is shameful, and I have yet to start with my boys. We bought My ABC Bible Verses to do with them this year. I may adapt that the the memory box, using the full verse(s) rather than just the portion given in the book. Or have the kids do the short version while DH and I work on fuller context so we move more at the same pace. I love the idea of family memory work.
