Learning Bible by Events

Listen to the podcast  to get the story about how to learn the Bible by memorizing the major events. Here is the list of the major events of the Bible to make your card game with. 

Before you make your game you need some index cards and a sharpie.   Write down the event on one side of the card and the number and Bible reference on the other side.  When you get all of the Old Testament and New Testament cards made, you are ready to play your game.  You can play by yourself by trying to lay down the event cards in order. At first you will have to look at the back to see if you are getting it right.  But before long, you will be able to put the major events of the Bible in order without looking! If you want to make it really fun, make a duplicate set of cards and have a race with somebody.
