Books of the Bible Posters and Games

OK. I have a confession. I have a favorite. Yep. I have a favorite product in our Explore the Bible: Kids product family. It is the Explore the Bible: Books of the Bible Posters. You can purchase them in digital format or print. They are full of color, pictures, and Bible facts! Not only can you use the posters to learn the Who, What, Where, When, and Why of each Bible book, but you can use the posters to play games to help kids deepen their knowledge of the Bible. The next time you have some extra time with your group of kids, consider playing this game.

Name That Book
Post all of the posters around the room. I recommend posting them in order but if you want an extra twist to your game, mix them up. Invite kids to gather in the middle of the room. Explain that you will read a fact from one of the posters. When you say go, kids should search the posters and name which Book of the Bible that fact is connected to.
