Vacation time is here and you want to do Bible study in a fun and different way! But you have run out of ideas. We can help! Here are 7 fun and educational Bible flash cards games that will help your children to review what they know and be challenged to keep learning. Bible study doesn’t have to be boring!
1. Guess Who:
o Tape one flashcard to the back of each student.
o Students then move around the class asking people yes or no questions about the card on their back.
o Once the question is asked the student has one guess to get it right.
o After getting a card right, the student either calls out, goes to the front of the class to get another card.
Winner is either the first one to guess the card or the one with the most cards at the end of the game.
2. Story Time:
o One person picks a card and begins to tell the story related to the picture. After a set time or number of sentences the card passes to the next person.
o The second person continues to the story and so forth.
When a person fails to continue the story or misses part of the story they are eliminated.
3. Timeline Mix Up:
o Mix up the timeline cards.
