Bible Games and Activities: Using Books
of the Bible Cards
Book Race
A very popular game with the kids is putting all 66 books of the Bible cards
face down on the floor. Form two teams, assigning one team the old testament
and the other team the new testament. The object is to retrieve all the
cards for the appropriate testament and put them in correct order on a table.
Each team is timed. Then the game is played again working with the opposite
testament. The two times are added together to determine a winner. Kids
have a great time getting on the floor trying to find the right cards, and
then racing to the finish.
Line Up
Put the 6 category cards face up on a table and deal the 66 Bible cards
to the children. The player who has Genesis starts by placing it next
to the "Law" category. If the same player has Exodus, he/she
can also play that card by placing it half way over the Genesis card and
so on. For categories that have both Old Testament and New Testament books,
such as "prophecy, cards can be placed in both directions, but always
starting with the first book of the category, then in proper order. A
player can only start a category on the first card played during their
turn, but can build on a category until they no longer can. Play continues
clockwise. The first player to place all of his/her cards down on the
table wins, but the other players continue until all the books are placed
in the proper order.
Book Concentration
Place 36 cards face down on a table, 6 across and 6 down. Use any 4 cards
of Old Testament Law, 4 History, 4 Poetry. 4 Major Prophets and 6 Minor
Prophets, and 4 New Testament Gospels, 8 New Testament Letters, Acts and
Revelation. The kids take turns turning over 2 cards. If both cards are
for example from Old Testament History, the player takes the cards. The
next player takes a turn. Cards turned over that do not match are place
back on the table face down in the same location. Acts and Revelation
counts as a match.
Bible Book Bingo
For this game you can use two sets of cards, or write the names of each
book on a strip of paper. Give each child 9 book of the Bible cards and
have them lay them face up in front of them in three rows of three cards.
The teacher draws one book from the other stack, or picks a slip of paper
and calls out the name of the book. The child with that book card turns
their card over. The first child to turn over all of their cards wins
the game. Continue play until all children have turned over all their
cards.
Next Card Please
This game works best if you have six or more children. Deal out all the
cards, excluding category cards, to every child. Have the children stand
in a line a few feet away from a table. Explain that the object is to
place all the cards in order on the table as quickly as possible. Use
a stopwatch to determine how long it takes. As the children hold the cards
so they can see them, start the game by asking who has Genesis, and have
them run up to the table and place the card on the far left side. Then
goes back to where they were on the line. The child who has Exodus runs
up and places his or her card next. Continue until the children place
all of the cards on the table in the correct order. Record how long it
took. Then set a goal to have kids beat their previous time and play again.
