Materials Needed for the Books of the Bible Old Testament Spinner:

  • One copy of the two page Old Testament Spinner Template for each student. (You can choose full color on pages 2-3 of the file or black and white outline on pages 4-5 for your kids to color.)
  • Scissors
  • One paper brad or round headed paper fastener per child
  • Crayons, washable markers, or colored pencils if desired

Directions:

  • Have your students color the templates, if desired.
  • Locate the template with the two children on the front. Cut the circle out.
  • Cut into the circle and remove the marked “pie piece” along the lines. (See picture below.)
  • Cut the circle with the Bible book names out along the outer edge. DO NOT cut into this circle at all.
  • Layer the circle with the children over the circle with the Bible book names so that the edges match. Insert the brad or paper fastener through the black dot on the front circle. Turn the whole spinner over and flatten the brad tails to fasten both circles together.
Help your kids learn the books of the Old Testament in order with this fun Old Testament Spinner Craft - Perfect for Church, Bible class, or homeschool!
  • Twist the top circle to reveal the names of the books of the Old Testament in order.

To Play:

  • Have kids say the names of the books of the New Testament, starting with Matthew, as they twist the spinner.
  • As they get familiar with the names of the books of the New Testament, see if they can remember the name of the next book before twisting the spinner. Then, twist the spinner to see if they are right!

Note: It is really helpful to memorize the books of the Old Testament in small sections. You might start with Genesis through Deuteronomy. Once your kids are very familiar with these books, add Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. Continue until your kids know all the books of the Old Testament.
