1. How to Best Learn Mnemonics: Learning the Key Words to the References.
The first trick is to get something in the key words to trigger an idea or image in your students’ minds. Notice that with the key words at the top of each mnemonic, there is a word or two that is underlined. This is probably going to be the trigger that will help them remember the mnemonic that then will help them remember the reference.
It is best to spotlight and try to learn one Scripture Mastery scripture a week. Many teachers print up the particular mnemonic on a 8.5 by 11 sheet here and place it up on the chalk board or a bulletin board as a reminder and reference for that week.
Never let students tell each other the reference when scripture chasing. They won’t be able to during the scripture bowl so better to learn that now. After you have taught one of the mnemonics, then with scripture chasing, after your say some key words, give a hint from the mnemonic. So after you say, “Receive all things with thankfulness.” You may want to emphasize the word “Thankfulness” and then say things like, “What holiday is all about thankfulness?”, “What highway do you travel on?”, “How many pound turkey is that?”. If you consistently give these kind of hints, they will soon learn the connections and you will not need to use hints at all.
