HOW DO YOU GET KIDS TO MEMORISE BIBLE VERSES?

Have you ever been frustrated when trying to teach kids Bible verses?  Parents not helping?  Kids bored?

Tips:

In 2009 we started a Pathfinder Club.  Pathfinders is similar to scouts but with spiritual and Bible work, and one of the requirements is that the kids memorise 6 verses in 6 months and get at least 75% on a test of them.  The difficulty for us is that many of our kids are not academically gifted, in fact some of them could barely read and getting them to spend time memorising something was virtually impossible.

So this was our plan of attack:
As a result, all the kids passed their test including those who could barely read.

And so we have continued to do this every year and  last year I started making karaoke videos for the songs.
