Flash Cards
Bible Flash Cards
Make a set of flash cards with the 66 books of the Bible on
them. Be sure to make them big enough to be seen from the back of
the room.
This can be done individually or divide into teams.
- Show a card and have the student tell which book comes before and/or after it.
Variations include:
- Have the student tell what the book is about.
- Have the student name as many characters as he can that is in the book.
- Tell whether the book is in the Old Testament or New.
Character Flash Cards
This is similar to the Bible Flash Cards but use Bible characters
instead of Bible books.
- Have the student tell what book the character is found in. Or…
- Have the student tell whether the character is in the Old Testament or New. Or…
- Have the student tell what that character is noted for.
What’s his Address?
Many Bible stories are familiar but we don’t always know where they
are found at in the Bible. This exercise will help your group get
familiar with finding where some of the people are located in the
Bible. Make a set of flash cards with the name of the character and let the person or team
tell which book it is found in. Also please note that the books
listed here are where the main incidents took placed, there may be
references to the character mentioned in other places; use your own
judgment.

they can think of. You can put the list on the back of the card.
