- Children and work together or in groups. Change colors by divisions of the Bible then add each section to the chain.
- This is a great game for early arrivers in Sunday School since kids are busy while the teachers are welcoming other children and helping them get started.
- This activity can be worked on each week until it is completed.
Option: Bible Book Look Up
Lead early arrivers to work at their own pace to open their Bibles to any book, name the book that comes next, and then look to check their answers.
