As a little girl I remember learning the 66 books of the Bible in Sunday School. As we teach children about the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, it's important to teach them that the most important thing about the Bible is that it is a true story of God's love for His children and the redemption of the world through Jesus Christ! Here are some fun resources and activities that you can use to help kids learn the books of the Bible, so that they can navigate their way through God's Word and discover His heart and love for us.
There are lots of options on how to use these Color Your Own Books of the Bible Posters! Have the kids take them home and bring them back for a fun assignment or complete them as a special project in class. They would make a great display too! It could even be a project that you complete throughout the year. Kids could color in each book of the Bible as they read it or as you learn about it in Sunday School or class.

These Books of the Bible Information Cards allow students to go a little deeper about each book of the Bible. On the front of each card is the name of a book of the Bible and then on the back of the card is information about the book's author, the number of chapters, the theme of the book, and some of the important messages or teachings in the book. The cards are durable and come on a ring.

As kids are learning to navigate through the books of the Bible, these Books of the Bible Tabs can help them find the Scripture they are studying faster. Each sticker tab adheres to a page—just put it on the first page in each book. I really like that the tabs are kid friendly with bright colors and large fonts. The only downside is that they won't be fair in a game of "Sword Drills."
