Watch this video to learn a simple game that will help kids review the books of the Bible. Specifically, this game will allow them to practice where books belong in the Bible. The setup is rather simple, all you need is sidewalk chalk and a place to play.
- Draw two box shapes large enough for all the kids to stand within
- Label one box “New Testament” and the other “Old Testament”
- Explain to the kids they should stand in the area that matches the name of the Bible books you are about to say
- For books not in the Bible they should stand outside both boxes

Great Idea! Im going to do this with my 5th Grade Sunday School class when we have our Sunday School Lock-in as a practice before we do our Scavenger Hunt! Plus this will be great to do with my grandchildren! Thank you!
I love this game idea! I will use it tomorrow. Thank you so much
Kids enjoyed this game. We labeled one area “OT” (Old Testament), another “NT” (New Testament) and a third “BLT” (just a funny way to say “not in the Bible”).
