Bible Games for Beginning Readers

A few weeks ago, I bought a package of cards at the local Dollar Tree Store. I was excited to think of the possibilities (Sunday school gifts, Operation Christmas Child enclosure, stocking stuffers, fun games to keep on hand for visitors, etc.) since the package contained three sets of cards. I also marveled at how many games a beginning reader group would be able to play with them.

Here are just a few ideas:

• Matching (picture to picture OR picture to printed card)
• Tell a story (sequence)
• Name the Bible person (aloud or matching to the print name)

Maybe you don't have cards like these. No problem! Reuse old Sunday school curriculum pictures and create your own game sets.

What goodies have you found as you Christmas shop? How would you use them to tell the Good News of the Bible?

Noah's Ark Spelling Game

Recently, I saw an adorable pin for Math counting. Love, love, love this idea! Here is a similar activity to practice spelling and incorporate the story of Noah's Ark.

This idea is suitable for:

• children's groups at church
• homeschoolers
• family devotion time                                

 

 

Materials

• several paint sample strips (colors of the rainbow)
• Bible story of Noah's Ark 

 

 

 

Preparation

Prepare the strips by printing the name of a different animal on each one. Cut the strips into color sections.

 

 

 

 

 

How to Do the Activity

Read the story of  Noah's Ark.Have kids arrange the color-sections to spell the names of animals.
