Make two copies of the Review Match Cards, double-sided on cardstock, if possible.
Cut apart the 20 individual cards.
If cards aren’t double-sided, mix them up and write a number, 1–20, on the back of each card.
Tape the cards to the wall, number side out. Or, lean the cards against the wall.
Today, we will play a matching game to review the Bible story. When you match two of the same images, you will have a chance to say who the person is, or what role the item played in the Bible story—why was it important, or how was it used?
Children get to choose two cards, one at a time, on their turn.
Turn over each card to see if the images match.
If they match, ask the children to describe why the person or item is important in the Bible story.
If the cards don’t match, return them to the wall, number side out.
Continue the game with the next child until all the cards are matched and discussed.
Conclusion: Ask several children to share one thing they learned from the Bible story.
