First Bibles

This morning I taught third grade Sunday school. As is traditional in many many churches, the church gifts Bibles to all the third graders at the beginning of the school year, and today happened to be "Third Grade Bible Sunday." The kids were all dressed up in puffy dresses and clip-on ties. It was adorable. 

Anyway, the Sunday School lesson was obviously focused on getting to know the Bible. We played a ton of games using index cards with the books of the Bible (racing to sort the books into Old and New Testaments, racing to put them in order, racing to count how many total, etc.) 

We played a little bit of trivia and their answers were hilarious. 

Q: What language was the Old Testament written in originally?

A: Jewish!

Q: What language was the New Testament written in originally?

A: English or Spanish, I can't remember. 

Q: Which is bigger and longer, Old Testament or New Testament?

A: Palms (that's not a typo, they literally said Palms)

Q: When was the Old Testament written?

A: 500 years ago

Q: When was the New Testament written?

A: When Jesus was born.
