Homeschooling This ultimate list of Bible memory tools will help you and your children memorize important Bible passages.
Bible memory is a wonderful discipline for our children to learn while they are young. In the elementary (grammar level) years, their minds can easily absorb large amounts of information, and this includes the memorization of Bible passages.
In addition to the resources below, one easy way to make Bible memory a part of your daily routine at home is to use a Charlotte-Mason-style “memory box.” This simple system organizes all the Bible verses and facts so that you can move what you memorize from short-term into long-term memory.

Thank you for this information. I do use memverse. I just joined ScriptureTyper because of the information from your post. My church uses ImpressKids (www.impresskids.com) which are games to help with memorizing scriptures.
Thanks for sharing the resource! I checked it out and am going to add it to my list of resources. I hadn’t ever heard of it before.
GREAT list!! Shared it on my FB page and added it to my pinterest acct!
Also wanted to share a link to “Remember Me” for the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JPXEK0/ref=oh_d__o00_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks again!!
Wow! What a list! I didn’t know that Awana had homeschool kits…how fun! I’m hoping to get the Veritas Press Bible curriculum one of these days. I’m loving their history, and would love to add the Bible cards into the mix. Thanks for sharing this great list!
hi! i’m loving these lists. Thank you! Also wanted to let you know that your math list link is broken and brings me to the bible memory resources. Thanks again, Jen
I’m not sure where the broken link is. I can’t find a link on this page intending to go to the math resources. Here’s a post with a link to all the lists.
I created Our Passages, a nice iPhone app for memorizing Bible verses. It lets people play four different games with the verses being studied. The games offer different levels of challenge. Each game involves creating the verse through recognition tasks. Would you be willing to take a look at it?

Neat idea. How have others responded to this system?
I would love to hear from people about the project, but I haven’t gotten much feedback yet. I want to keep improving the app. If anybody is interested and doesn’t have an iPhone, you can see a video of Our Passages in action here: https://youtu.be/xwNHFNetcrY
Great resources! Some I have been using: some are new to me, thanks! There are 2 big homeschool connected ministries you could include: Sing the Word CDs by the Harrow Family, used by Sonlight curriculum and Mega Verses Volumes 1-3 by Tommy and Jo Hendricks that work with Classical Conversations’ scripture memory in KJV and even Latin. Also in my constant searching of spotify I have found Sherri Youngward’s Scripture Songs Vol 1 & 2. Thanks again for your post, glad it came up when I did a google search 🙂
Thanks for letting us know about these!
Fighter verses is another awesome app where you can type the word into sentences, listen to your verse, or read, and it comes with daily reminders and different bible translations 🙂
I have used many Bible memory apps and decided to make one of my own that “does it all”.
It lets you work with phrases and sentences as well so you can tackle larger verses or chapters more easily
The app is called Lamp Unto My Feet Flashcards. It has many games and memorization methods and can be customized to look how you want.
