Puzzles

Teaching with Puzzles:

We had two of the same puzzle (#1 below) – had kids break into 2 teams – to see who could put their puzzle together first. Either have a poster of the books for the kids to look at or a written list, for reference. Tell the kids to work in sections – it may be faster – and add their completed sections as they go. Once completed have children read off the bible names in order. Next have children follow names along and stop at each picture then discuss what the bible story it represents and which book it belongs to.

Unfortunately both of the below puzzles are out of print, try an on-line search.

#1 Books of the Bible Puzzle, Cook (Faithkidz), 2001, ISBN 9834502761. (OUT OF PRINT)
This 66-piece puzzle illustrates every book of the Bible while its background mural reveals Bible Stories.

To teach with the #2 puzzle I suggest – after putting it together I’d have the children read out loud the names (they can learn proper pronunciation), then discuss how the books are ordered and the groupings and what that means. Law – means…, Gospels – means…., etc.

#2 Books of the Bible Floor Puzzle, Lifeway, 2005, ISBN 1415820694. (OUT OF PRINT)
Designed for older preschoolers through middle children, the Books of the Bible Floor Puzzle contains 48 pieces and measures 24 inches by 36 inches. Bibles are stacked in groupings.
