Objective: Reinforce knowledge of books of the Bible in order by playing a “before and after” game. Have kids pair up. Two pairs will face off. Each pair will have a set of mirrors with “BEFORE” and “AFTER” taped on the backs. Provide dry erase markers for each player. With the mirrors face down, call out a book of the Bible. Without talking, kids must pick up their mirror paddle and write the book before or after the book called (depending on the mirror they have). Hold mirrors facing themselves when they are done. When you say, “reveal” they turn their mirror to show their answer. If your pair got it right, you stay. If you get it wrong, you go to the end of the line. If both are right, first to get done wins. If both are wrong, both teams are replaced.
