Game: Bible Memory by Marie Stroughter An easy to make activity to help your child learn the books of the Bible! Idea: Bible Memory Ages: 3 - 10 years old CONCEPT: A visual aid to learn the books of the Bible Materials: White posterboard Markers Scissors Activity: Take the posterboard and create strips that are approximately 1.5" x 7". On each one in large evenly spaced letters write the name of each of the 66 books of the Bible. Leave a little space at each end (before and after the name of the book) to draw a simple corresponding picture (for example in Genesis one side might have a tree or a stick figure man, the other side might have a serpent or stick figure woman to represent the creation of Adam & Eve or to represent the story of Satan tempting Eve found in Genesis). Once that is done, cut each strip in half, so that half of the word is on one strip and the other half is on the other strip (for example Genesis might look like: G E N (cut) E S I S). I also tend to color code these for additional activities with older children. Meaning, I might write the names of the first five books in marker color 1 (for Law), the next twelve in marker color 2 (History), the next five in another marker color (Poetry)....etc. When done, you might want to laminate them with clear contact paper for added durability! For younger children, just have them try to match the halves of the books (also another good reason for using different marker colors for the book names!). Older preschoolers and early grades can even try to match pictures (the two halves to a book name). ADVANCED options: Older kids, once they make the initial book match, can try to group them by Old Testament, New Testament, THEN by sub-category, Law, History, etc... Timer Activity: Bible Scramble: Have your child(ren) put the books in order within a certain time. This should be a cooperative effort rather than a competition! If you have more than one child, have them be a team to do it within the time alloted. They can also put the divisions in order (cards that say: Law, History, Poetry, etc.)
