Fruit
My grandkids and I had fun with this Bible memorization project last summer while they were on break from the Awana Bible memory verses program.
We found that, for most of the fruit of the Spirit, there's a wide range of Bible verse choices that apply to each of these - from very short Bible verses for young children or those with learning disabilities to longer verses for those children who relish a challenge.
For example, the verses we learned for the first fruit, LOVE, were:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12:30-31aA shorter verse for LOVE would be:
God is love. 1 John 4:8
To help my grandchildren learn these memory verses, we did craft projects centered around each verse. I also found some cute kids praise and worship songs to go with the Fruit of the Spirit project. Music is always a great way to help children learn and that is especially true for Bible memorization. For love, we used Lincoln Brewster's rousing praise and worship music, Love the Lord Your God, which uses the actual Bible verse in the lyrics.
By the end of the summer we'd learned several new Bible Memory verses, had a fun time for all - both the children and myself, and kept our brains active while hiding God's Word in our hearts. We had a terrific time and so will you.
