Parents 4 Teachers

Plastic lids of all sizes are a fun way to teach memorization. It doesn’t matter whether they come from coffee cans, ice cream buckets, or somewhere else.

Turn the lids upside down so the ridges face upward. Using a permanent marker, write one word on the inside of each cover. For example, if you’re teaching the Bible verse “For God so loved the world …” write each of the words on a separate cover.

Once the complete verse is written with one word on each cover, mix them all up and throw them like saucers all around the room.

Once the kids’ giggling subsides, have them collect the lids one at a time, placing them in the correct order so as to make a path with all the words. They should be able to start with the first cover and walk on each cover forming a path through the house, reading the verse as they go along to the end. Of course, they’ll want to repeat this exercise!
