The 66 Books of the Bible can be tricky for kids to understand - How do they fit together? Who wrote them? Why did God give us this book?

The following 4 games help with Bible Book memorization. I've used these in real life with groups of kids I discipled and they worked really well. As someone who studied Practical Theology, I'm always looking for ways to help younger generations grow in their confidence when approaching God's Word.

Use this alongside my Introducting the Bible to Kids / Youth lesson for maximum effect.

May you find space here to pause, reflect, and abide.

These 4 Bible Book activities can help kids to see that the Bible isn't this big scary thing - it is God's letter to them and His invitation to meet with them today.

Activities like this might seem simple to us, but there's an important step in discipleship where kids go from receiving the Word to interacting with it. Read more about the value of response activities like a craft, a game, and a printout.
