How to run this board

This board covers both halves of the Bible. Categories include Old Testament stories, New Testament stories, the parables of Jesus, miracles, the books of the Bible and their order, and the places where the stories happen.

It works for a Bible study group, a church fellowship night, or a family Sunday afternoon. Put the board on the projector in the fellowship hall and let everyone buzz in from their phones, so a room of forty plays as easily as a table of six.

A tip for mixed groups: pair people who have been in church for decades with newer members. The newcomers catch the stories they remember from childhood, and the long-timers carry Books of the Bible.
