Abraham’s Test: A Fun Bible Review of Genesis 22, 1-18 for Kids

At some point or another, we’ve all done a test. Tests can be sweaty experiences. Can you even begin to imagine how Abraham felt when God tested him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac? Praise God that Abraham passed with flying colors. Now, why not test his children’s knowledge of this great story with the following Bible review form?

This is what you do:

I took the story of Abraham’s trial and divided Genesis 22:1-18 into groups of Bible verses that you will quiz your children with. Read the scripture portion I have listed, and then present your class with a list of the four items I have written next to each scripture portion. You can list these items as written words or you can collect pictures of each of the items. (I personally do the latter. Kids love pictures!) Reading through the list, you’ll notice, of course, that one of the items doesn’t belong. It’s up to the kids in your class to guess which item shouldn’t be on the list after hearing the Bible verses.

To turn this Bible review time into a game, simply divide your class into 2 teams. Let each team take turns guessing which item doesn’t belong. Award the team 100 points if they get it right. I’ve also included a bonus question for each Scripture portion that you can give to the team if they answer the correct item within a certain amount of time, such as 15 or 30 seconds. If they answer the bonus question correctly, give the team another 100 points.

Just a couple of tips –

1. This biblical revision is based on the NIV translation, however, other translations would agree as well. Just be sure to make any necessary changes to fit your version of the Bible before you play.

2. Don’t forget to rummage through the list of items. I’ve always listed the last item as the one that doesn’t belong. Have fun!
