Wherever people get together, there are often stories to be shared, and usually the stories have relevance to the conversation and the message we are trying to get across.
We read and tell stories to our children for various reasons. Sometimes it is to spend quality time with them, sometimes it is to broaden their knowledge and vocabulary, sometimes it is to teach them an important lesson…just as Jesus did for His followers while He walked this earth!
So, if children (and adults!) can learn important lessons through stories, why not use stories to teach Scripture memory verses?!

This is precisely what Moore Family Films has done with their latest DVD, “ABC Say It With Me Bible Memory Verses.”
Moore Family Films are a staple in our household. My children enjoy them so much, and the films have sparked many conversations. ABC Say It With Me is no different.
my boys can’t get enough!
Each letter of the alphabet has a memory verse that corresponds with it. The Moore children say the verse and Scripture reference which is followed by a short “story” that helps to illustrate and explain the text. At the end, the Scripture and reference are repeated again.
The “stories” include things like a clip of the children looking for a lost sheep, a silent film sketch showing what happens when greed gets a hold of you, and a funny skit of a patient family and a very clumsy waiter.
The film is a favorite of my little boys (ages 1, 3, & 5), but it was enjoyed by my 8 & 9 year olds as well. They can say many of the verses right along with the Moore children!
Scripture needs to permeate our children’s lives. It needs to be living and breathing. They need to see it in action. ABC Say It With Me gives understanding to your child’s memorization of Scripture without compromising the message. It digs deep, and I appreciate that immensely!
This week, I’m giving away a copy of ABC Say It With Me! See the giveaway widget below:

I was just thinking this morning I need to find a few things to help make scripture more real for my 2 year old. My child is a very visual Learner and has recently started really connecting things like this. We have a little tv with DVD player and will be able to watch this and enjoy it together. I’m very glad to see this today. I went to they site and looked at their sneak peaks and really like it. Also I was amused by the one where the brothers help their sister by making her bed for her ( I have that nightgown too which my little one will think is great, you know how young children get so excited about things like that) so cute and such simple visual stories that go with the verses. We will enjoy this!

I purchased this DVD a month ago…and ALL my children LOVE it and learned EVERY verse within a week!!! From ages 18 months to 12 years old, this is a wonderful addition to our family video collection (which, by the way, isn’t large!). In fact, all the Moore Family Films are excellent and inspiring to each Christian family trying to serve the Lord and please Him.
