Review Game
At the end of each quarter we plan to combine our younger and older elementary classes for a review day. We just completed our FIRST review day and the children seemed to enjoy it immensely!
We had four main categories
1.
2.
(Bad characters in the Bible)
3. Ladies - Questions about women of the Bible
4.
- Clues are given clues about a certain biblical character and the children identify the correct person.
We got so involved playing the game we forgot to take photos of the students! We will try to do that next quarter :) However, we were able to take couple of photos of our
before students started arriving. We simply used pre-made cut-outs and affixed the appropriate questions on the back of each that corresponds to the correct category. We laminated for durability and place
on back so that we could utilize them on our magnetic dry-erase board.
What is great about these, they can be used in categories like we did here, or we can use them alone to review the specific topics.
Books of the Bible
I've observed a concerning trend in children's Bible classes: students struggle to locate specific books of the Bible, even if they can recite them orally. To address this, we've incorporated a simple game called "Let's find it in the Bible" into our lesson review time. This activity highlights the importance of hands-on Bible interaction, especially for young readers who may be accustomed to electronic devices. To further reinforce Bible book familiarity, we plan to implement additional activities such as:
Three Kings
I'm excited to share my first attempt at creating fun and interactive visuals for our Bible class. This bulletin board game will be used during our study of the kings during the United Kingdom, (Saul, David, and Solomon). I enlarged the patterns and used chalk pastels to add vibrant colors before laminating them for durability. We also crafted crowns featuring questions about these three kings. The inspiration and patterns came from
, a magazine that is sadly no longer available. I can't wait to see the children enjoy this engaging learning tool!
Pumpkin Patch Review
Looking for a fun way to keep your students engaged while reinforcing Bible knowledge? Try a game! It's a great way to have fun while learning. We used pre-cut shapes from an educational store and added review questions and answers on the back. This versatile game can be played individually or in teams. To make it interactive, we attached magnetic tape to each question, allowing them to be easily displayed on a magnetic board for a "pumpkin patch review” something we do every fall! You can add some variety and put a crow on the back of a few random pumpkins and if they receive a crow they lose their turn.
Joseph Review Game
We won this adorable Joseph review game as a door prize at a workshop in July. It's made with cardstock and patterned scrapbook paper! Children match the colorful "coats" to the answers on each figure. We're thrilled to add this creative game to our classroom resources.
Gideon Sneak Peek
We are developing a game for our Gideon lesson, inspired by the book "Interactive Bible Story Bulletin Boards." We have enlarged the pattern and the characters are ready for coloring! The game pieces, featuring review questions about Gideon's story, are already completed. We will use this game alongside our existing "Judges" interactive bulletin board, attaching magnets to the pieces for use on the magnetic board. Watch for upcoming posts to see this game in action.
