First both E-R and I-E wrote out the quote we are working on memorizing.
The act of writing the quote helped them remember the exact wording for the next step.
Then they both erased two words.
And exchanged white boards. Each girl had to fill in the blank her sister had made in the quote.
As you can see spelling didn't have to be perfect.
This continued until the whole board had been erased and filled in.
Having Miss Kitty Girl snuggled up on E-R's lap helped the process along.
This method brought a bit of excitement to our memory time this week.
What are you doing for memory time?
Link up with your Memory Time ideas and lists of Memories Work.
Great idea! Making a game out of memorization always seems to make it easier as well as more fun. Visiting from HHH. Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.com
ReplyDeleteI love the white board exchange! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI have to try the white board, for some (of my kiddos),more than others, it might be helpful. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! We just started using index cards for memorization, this may be a neat idea to use in addition to really get those facts in there!
