Bible Race

Divide the class into teams of 2–4. Each child will need a Bible. Hand out a Fact Pairing Page and a pencil to each group.    

The Bible tells us that Noah took pairs of animals on the ark—one male and one female of each type of animal. We are going to do an activity about pairing—but not animals! You are going to pair up eight Bible facts about the story of Noah with the correct Bible reference. Can anyone guess why there are eight facts?

Because eight people entered the ark! This means you will have to look up the verses and read them to make the correct match and find the missing word/s for the blank. When you find a pair, draw a line from the fact to the reference on your sheet and fill in the blank/s with the correct word/s. Let’s see who can finish first with all of the correct pairings! We will discuss your answers when all the groups are done.          

When the groups have completed their sheets, go through each one of the eight pairs and briefly talk about the significance of each fact.
