How to play
Set the words of the memory verse to music. If time allows, involve the group in creating the melody. For a simpler version, rewrite the lyrics of a familiar pop song using the verse words, so next time they hear the song on the radio they may recall the verse. For extra fun, record the song and share it with the group online.
