Memory Match Game

With just over a week 'til Good News Club starts, I am getting games ready.

 Review games and Bible verse memorization games.
I've been looking for books to make a large memory match game and finally found some suitable at $ Tree.

So here are my 2 Bible Readers and 2 packages of plastic plates. 

The bottom of the pkg. says 8 plates so I decided to make 8 matches for my game.

Tore out the desired pages.

Used a funnel to get a perfect circle.

                                               Cut them out. 

(My kids are offended by the lame depiction of the ark 

God had Noah build but it'll work for the game-lol)

And what do ya know, I got ripped off by 2 plates!
I'll just have 7 matches!
I laminated each picture, cut them out again and 

used double stick tape to fasten them to the plates.

Now to play, I'll just mix them all up and

lay them out upside-down on the floor.

When a review question is answered correctly, 

students will be able to try finding a match!

Review Game- Tax paying fish

Review Game, Jesus has Peter pay tax with coin from a fish's mouth.

On Google images I found this fish.

I cut big & little ones out of animal print cardstock, adding felt to the back.

So when the kids answer review questions, they put a big fish up, the next correct answerer finds the matching little fish and adds to the board. 

I have a faint coin sketched on the back 

of one fish for one blessed listener, 

they will get a treat at the end.

~And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. 

Matthew 17:24-27~

Winter Picnic

For our last club meeting of Fall, we had a Winter Picnic. 

It was a sweet time of reading a Christmas book, singing and a picnic with parents.

The invitation:

We read this great book that cuts through some of the myths of Christmas:

The mural I painted to remind us who we celebrate:

 

And I did not have time to get photos of  all the great food, here is the fun fruit tree:

Good News Club blog

While looking for ideas for review games for our CEF Good News club, I found a lack of good sources. I am inexperienced at blogging but hope to gather tips and ideas here. All with the goal of pointing kids to Jesus and making a creative learning time.
