Reverse It -- A Bible Study Approach

Here's a suggestion for studying a passage that you've become familiar with:

Review it verse by verse, but in reverse order.

This is particularly helpful with narrative passages, but can be used with any text.

I know this sounds crazy, but your mind will pick up patterns and relationships and insights that you won't see in "forward" order.

This one is easy to teach your students, even elementary age. Try reading the story of David and Goliath this way, for example.
