Memorizing Words to Songs

Some pieces for choir have so many words that it is difficult for students to memorize the various verses.  I liked the following discussion, especially the following ideas:

Write all the words on the board (or show typed on a projector).  After singing through it once, erase or delete some of the words.  Do this several times and delete more words each time.

Have each student handwrite all the words.  Have a due date to have the words memorized.  Make it into a quiz and have each student individually write all the words from memory and turn it in.
