Review/Giveaway: Clubhouse Kidz

This is a post that has been long in the making, though we’ve been thoroughly enjoying the making of it.

Miss Esmé – who would’ve thought? – is camera-shy.

Yet, after much ado and technical snafu, we’re pleased to share a camera-shy recitation of Psalm 23 with you…

Thank you, Clubhouse Kidz!  I LOVE knowing God’s word is being captured in my daughter’s mind, ready to bear fruit when she most needs it.

What Mom Liked:

  • imageSlide Shows.  The little pictures on these tools DO serve as mental tags.  I (Mom) realized that I as often as not have been leaving out the “Thou anointest my head with oil” part of Psalm 23.  Now, I just picture a kid dumping vegetable oil on his little sibling’s head, and I get it right every time. 
  • Flip-Its. The Flip-Its are great because they are easy to print out and use anytime, anywhere.  Esmé is actually looking at the photo side during the video recording.  PLUS – they are currently FREE downloads!
  • Kids Inspiring Kids.  Watching the introductory video was a great motivator for Esmé, as she saw other kids reciting and having fun with Psalm 23.
  • Multiple Approaches.  The introductory video introduces several steps toward memorization:  read it, write it, sing it, recite it…  Some of these steps work better for Esmé than others, but having her watch other other kids go through all of them has definitely impacted her.

Esmé has memorized scripture verses naturally through listening to scripture songs, but it has been exciting to watch her learn through a new approach, especially something as lengthy as Psalm 23.  We’ll be starting the next scripture soon (Mom too), hiding more of God’s word in our hearts!
