I’m a big fan of Bible Games Central. Who doesn’t love an entire site devoted to games relating to the Bible?!
That’s why I was so excited to learn that Bible Games Central just released 4 new games!
Bible Bingo – Really, this is a game every children’s pastor should have on hand. It’s perfect as a time-filler activity or large group game that also allows kids to work on their Bible skills! While there are lots of versions of Bible Bingo out there, what I really love about this version is that the Bingo boards are specially designed to correspond to how the Bible is organized. Rather than the columns spelling out B-I-N-G-O, they are divided into distinct, colored sections that match the sections of the Bible! It even comes with a 12-page guide that gives explanations and summaries of the different sections of the Bible. Learn more about Bible Bingo here.
Parable Parade – While you’ve probably played Bible Bingo before, I’d bet you’ve never played Parable Parade! This was a brand new idea to me, and I love it! In this card game, players try to collect a complete parable story by drawing (or stealing) 4 cards of the same parable story. Players choose how many cards to draw at a time (go big or go home I always say), but if they draw an Oopsie card, they have to return 3 of their kingdom cards. (Kingdom cards allow you to steal another player’s parable card). The first person to complete 2 parables wins! My 8-month-old is too young for this game, but my husband and I enjoyed playing together. (I won!) I also love that each parable also has an explanation/summary card. What a great tool for parents to have faith conversations at home! Parable Parade would make the perfect stocking stuffer, family gift, or a special prize! Learn more about Parable Parade here.
Bible Memory Game – This set of Bible Memory Game cards come with beautiful illustrations of each book, and they list the section and Testament each book belongs in. With multiple ways to play, you can make the game as challenging or as simple as you need. It’s a great way to learn about the books and sections of the Bible while you play! Learn more about Bible Memory Game here.
Christmas Bingo (And bonus memory card game!) – With 24 double-sided Bingo cards, up to 24 people can play this festive Bingo game at one time, so it’s perfect for a Christmas party, Christmas lesson, or Christmas event. I love that all you have to do is open the box and start playing – no other prep necessary. This Christmas-themed Bingo game also doubles as a Christmas-themed Memory Match game with colorful, festive illustrations of the nativity scene, baby Jesus, the wise men, Christmas trees, gingerbread houses, and more!

Very helpful! Thanks, Brittany. 🙂
Happy to help! Thanks for asking!
Thanks for the review of these. I’m curious as to the sturdiness of the Bible Memory cards. Are they laminated or glossy for repeated use.? Same with the Bingo cards. Are they a lightweight paper that players would cross out with a pen or crayon or are they study enough for repeated use with buttons as markers? Thanks!
Great questions Stacey! The Bible Memory Cards and Bingo cards are professionally-printed, glossy cards, so they are similar in durability to a regular deck of playing cards. Both Bingo games come with green translucent chips for players to mark off their bingo card, so they can be used over and over again. You wouldn’t write on the bingo cards. Does that help? Let me know if you have any other questions!
