In our church the children are encouraged to learn and memorize the "13 Articles of Faith". We have a summer picnic coming up where the children will get an ice cream topping for each article of faith they have memorized, or so I've been told. So, that is what we are currently working on. It is a slow process, and I'm trying to get to a new one each day. So, to help them have more hands on activity while we say it this has been pretty effective. Building lego's. I used my handy dandy label maker and put a few words on duplo sized lego's so they could build it.
Just so you know it should read:
"We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost"
I liked how the one with Jesus Christ at the bottom for the foundation made for a much sturdier structure. How true that is in all of life!
Here are some great links to scripture memorization, and article of faith memorization for anyone (even if you don't homeschool). I was researching a little bit and wanted to keep track of these links. I thought I might share them:
- Latter day homeschooling: articles of faith and homeschooling
- Articles of faith at sugardoodle
- Simply Charlotte Mason scripture memory system
- Articles of Faith memory quest game
