Last year I taught the kids in my Bible class, ranging from age 2 to 12, these fifty words (two lines a week)… I got it from the book Absolutely Everything, and taught a bunch of kids ranging from age 2 to 12. The nice thing was even the very shortest people were able to remember it and they now have the gist of the story of the Bible in their hearts. I have found that Bible classes, especially for young kids, teach lots of Bible stories and while the kids learn the stories they don’t always have an idea of where these stories fit into the big picture of the Bible… this book was great for the telling of The Big Picture… and I am sure I will blog more about it in the future.
I noticed that there are only 48 words. Is there something about Abraham missing? And is jacob and Joseph in the right order? Thanks…I’m doing a history timeline with my little guys and using this as there guide!
