Why? The word of God in the head and heart is a preserving power
Why should we learn Bible verses?
Psalm 119:11
The Word of God in the mind and heart is a preserving force in the life of a Christian.
Joshua 1:8
God's word is the condition for acting rightly and wisely.
5 Deuteronomy 4:1-2

Listening:
By listening frequently, a verse memorizes.
Here, imaginative variety is absolutely necessary. We want to make the Word of God dear to the children, not the opposite.
Learning:
The children can indeed learn by heart purely and mechanically, that is, without understanding the meaning. However, this is not our goal. We want the children's minds to be fully involved.
The Bible verse can be learned with the whole group, that even the weaker children can keep up better.
Illustrations or movements are a great help for learning!
Keep in mind:
As the saying goes, repetition is the mother of wisdom.
Never does a person learn more easily than in childhood. We can take advantage of this fact to give children a great treasure for life.
By repeating it later, possibly with competition, we dig God's Word deep into children's hearts.
Do:
Jacobus 1:22
God's goal is that we not only hear the word, but also do it.
What we learn is to come to application in our lives. We want to relate to life - to live it out.
In doing so, we as teachers want to be a good role model for the children.
The reference to life can be connected to the repetition of the verse in the following lesson. What have you experienced through the verse in the past week?
