Give children the gift of enduring truth through this distinctive, eighteen-
month Bible memory program. Memorizing Scripture is one of the best
ways to pass on the gospel to childrenbut you need a plan! This pro-
gram allows churches and families to work together to help children
learn key Bible passages. The Sword Bible Memory Cards (OT) are
designed for use with the Gospel Story Curriculum (OT). The OT cur-
riculum covers eighteen months, and there is one OT Memory Card for
each month.* Each card is divided into three sections:
Preschool children memorize the verse under the circle. Lower Elemen-
tary children memorize verses under the circle and the square. Up-
per Elementary children (and parents!) memorize the verses under
the circle, square, and triangle. As children advance through the pro-
gram, they will be adding verses every year to the same passages
of Scripture. When they graduate from Upper Elementary, they will
have completely memorized eighteen Bible passages, each six to nine
verses. The Sword Bible Memory Cards are available below in both
the ESV and NIV Bible translations. The ESV cards are first, then the
NIV cards follow.
*Some of the passages memorized in the Sword Bible Memory Cards (OT)
are from the New Testament.
