Books of the Bible Flash Cards

It has been over a year since I showed my face in this space! So many things have changed in that time. The majority of my time used to be spent blogging sewing creations, but now my world is a more even balance of sewing, mom-ing, hobby farm life, and homeschooling!

We aren’t doing much at all for homeschool this summer because truthfully I got too burned out and needed a longer break (We’re trying 6 weeks on, 1 week off next year to hopefully prevent some of that burnout). But my kids also do so much better when they’re on a consistent routine, so we’re still having Morning Time together most mornings! We read from the Bible, pray, work on their First Catechism, and read a few books aloud.

We’re also working on memorizing the books of the Bible. My oldest daughter knows most of them, but we’re starting to work with the preschooler on the books and making sure we know which order they go in. I was surprised that I couldn’t find any flash cards, so I created my own and thought I would share them with all of you! You can download those here. Here’s a little peek into how we’re using them!

My oldest daughter is almost seven and reads very well, so I shuffle the cards, hand them to her, and allow her to lay them out on the floor in order. Once she has a solid grasp on those, we’ll start adding in the different sections and learning which books belong in which section (The Pentateuch, Major Prophets, Gospels, etc.). There’s no pressure here. We try to keep this light and fun so we don’t discourage her growth!

For my preschooler who hasn’t learned how to read, she and I start together at the beginning. I ask her what the first book of the Bible is, and then hand her the correct card after she says the name, and then she gets to go place it at the “starting position”. I let her continue naming the books in order, then place each card one at a time, seeing how far she can go, and if she can make a longer trail than the day before. Again, we keep it light and try to make it fun to encourage learning!

The set includes Old Testament and New Testament Cards, all 66 books of the Bible, plus the different sections. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! If you use them, tag me on Instagram @onestitchblog and use the hashtag #onestitchlearning so I can see!
