Bible Snack and Games to Learn the Books of the Bible

In Sunday School this year we worked really hard to help the kids learn the Books of the Bible. Here is an overview of all the fun hands on books of the Bible games, bulletin board, and super cute and yummy Bible snack we had as we worked to Learn the Books of the Bible. This is fun for kindergarten, first graders, 2nd graders, 3rd graders, and 4th graders too.

Teaching the Books of the Bible

As we kicked off our year in Sunday School we made these super cute Bible Snacks, had a Books of the Bible Bulletin board, and had lots of fun books of the bible games for kids to play as they learned the 66 books of the Bible in order. I just love getting kids excited about learning God’s word and helping plant seeds that will grow in their lives.

These ideas are perfect for teaching kindergarteners, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, and grade 4 students.

 

Bible Snack

To kick start our year in a really fun, memorable way I made these Books of the Bible Snacks.

They are made out of apple Newton cookies with a fruit by the foot tassel, and icing to make the book top.

The kids LOVED them!

Bible themed snacks

It is easiest to make these like an assembly line. Do step 1 for all cookies, then step 2 for all cookies, etc. First cut off one of the sides (so you can see the pages  on three sides of the cookie). Next use kitchen scissors to cut a tassel out of red fruit roll-up. Now use a knife to gently push the tassel into the bottom of the cookie. Finally, use icing to put a cross & edges on the Bible cookie.

Note: They are a little time consuming. I had to make 100 of them [we have a large class] and it took me a couple hours.

Books of the bible bulletin board

In our 1st grade Sunday School room I made this “bulletin board” to help the kids see the books of the Bible as we work on learning them.

The colors represent the different sections of the Bible:

• Law
• History
• Poetry
• Major Prophets
• Minor Prophets
• Gospels
• Church History
• Letters
• Prophecy

Inside each book I wrote a short description on what that book is all about and some major themes or stories from it. I love that as a teacher I am always in the word, reviewing, and learning myself!

 

Sing the Books of the Bible

We sung the Books of the Bible song by Go Fish every week to help cement it in further. You can get the video version on their website which we used – the kids loved it!
