This is not a memory contest or a religious duty. The child memorizes the Word to be armed against the tricks of the adversary. Jesus himself used verses to repel the devil. Are our children stronger than   Jesus? Let us arm them for times of temptation: the devil spares no effort.

What hammering do children not suffer from the part of the   world! If they don’t know the Bible, how can they make the right   choices?

We also know how the Lord uses His Word to remind us of certain things, to encourage us, to take us back, to guide us. Let us not deprive the children of this treasure.

Ideally, children know the verse by heart as they leave the classroom. Even   better: let the monitor know the verse by heart before   class! Let’s help them by preparing games and supports to teach them the verse not as a chore, but with joy. Let’s create some emulation with team games. When motivated, children memorize easily.
