Books of the Bible Bingo

One of the games in the “Learn the Books of the Bible” Grab and Go Box is Bingo.

Certainly, neither children nor adults will learn the books of the Bible in order by playing Bingo!  Why include it in the box?  Have you ever tried to memorize a list of 66 titles, many including words which are unfamiliar and difficult to pronounce?  I feel that spending time playing games like Bingo is not only fun, it familiarizes the children with the words we are asking them to commit to memory, thereby setting them up for success!

Start small and play for a 5 across or diagonal BINGO.  Later in the year when the children are well on their way to having memorized all the books of the Bible in order, pull Bingo out again but this time, instead of calling names of the books use clues such as, “This book comes between Philemon and James in the New Testament” or “This book is named for a great King who once played the harp and who defeated a mighty soldier single handedly.”
