In order to study the Bible, I believe everyone should know the order of the Books of the Bible.  Because of its importance, I have added this activity to the 4 Year (New Testament books) and 5 Year (Old Testament books) Curriculum. With a little help, most preschool children can master this task.  Here are ideas to help get you started:

• Break each testament into small groups focusing on a small group at a time.
  
  
• Use a song.  There are several different Books of the Bible songs available.  Find one you like and listen to it.  Here are just a few:
          30 Bible Songs and Bible Stories - This CD contains both "The Books of the Old Testament" and "The Books of the New Testament songs.
       The Bigsby Show - Bible Books on You Tube
       Go Fish - Bible Book Bop on You Tube
       Seeds of Character (Vol. 6) - #12 - The Only Way (New Testament)
  
  See below for the Books of the Bible set to familiar songs.
  
  
• Work on the list in the car, in the bathtub, while swinging, at the dinner table, or during family time.  Our kiddos earned the enter list while driving in the car each morning. 
  
  
• The Books of the Bible flashcards
  
  
• The Books of the Bible Bingo
  
  
• Hand Motions (reprinted by permission)
  Although most of the meanings behind the hand motions are above a preschooler's understanding, using hand motions is one more way to learn the books of the Bible.  The hand motions are created using the major themes of each book.  This would also make a neat part of a program with a whole group of kids doing these together.  Adapt and change where needed!
