Move, don't just say
Add an action to every line of a memory verse. Bodies remember what ears forget.
Keep it short
A good rule: one minute of teaching per year of age, then switch activity.
Everyone gets a part
In dramas, give the shy ones a group role: a flock, a crowd, the wind!
Celebrate small wins
Stickers, cheers and a prayer of thanks go a long way.
