Fun Facts: Activities & Memorization (3rd–6th Grade)

Grades: 3rd–6th

Course Description
“Fun Facts” uses songs, games, and hands-on activities to help students memorize essential
facts and concepts they will need throughout their elementary years and beyond.

Each week we will learn a new catechism question/answer (from the New City Catechism), as
well as a new song that will introduce a set of facts. Each week we will also review previous
songs, play reinforcement games, discuss content, and complete activities that strengthen
retention. Each class culminates in a snack and quiet activity as we listen to the class playlist —
followed by a raffle prize winner (tickets are earned by doing homework and learning the facts).
To encourage steady progress at home, students will complete light weekly assignments and
demonstrate what they’ve learned through a short monthly assessment (examples include
labeling U.S. states, reciting the books of the Bible, identifying planets, listing presidents, or
completing portions of the periodic table).
This course builds a strong foundation of knowledge, strengthens memory skills, and increases
academic confidence — all in a joyful, engaging environment.
