These flashcards feature 60 Old Testament and 40 New Testament
people. Each card measures 2¼ x 4¼ inches and is
printed on cream card stock. The Bible character's name is on one
side, and on the other side are three bulleted facts about the
character. For example, the Shem card has the following facts:
served by Canaan, descendants dwelt in Mesopotamia and Iranian
area (Semites), Genesis follows his generation (Genesis 11:10).
There are usually one or two Scripture references for each character.
Some of the characters are well known, including Esther, Daniel,
and Abraham. Others are not so familiar, such as Festus, Zerubbabel,
and Josiah.
The half sheet of paper that came with these Bible flashcards
says they can be used for games, memorization, and quiz prompts.
I think it would be helpful to include some specific game ideas.
Also, I think it might be a good idea if the cards had category
labels, such as kings, judges, apostles, women, and prophets. Then
if you were studying that subject or period of time in the Bible,
you could pull out those specific cards to study.
If you are looking for Bible character flashcards, these are a
good option.
