The Bible teaching pictures in leader packs can be used in the Giant Game Floor Mat. Bible story pictures help a child identify the people and places in the Bible stories.
You learn from the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15) reminds teachers that boys and girls learn from Bible stories, Bible verses, Bible songs, and Bible conversation. Games and activities help a child learn Bible truths.
