Activity

Timeline Simon says!

With your family, use the eras of the Bible timeline (creation, patriarchs, exodus, conquest, judges, kingdom, exile, return, silence, gospels, church, missions, and future) to play Simon says.

Parents, call out an era either saying, or not saying, Simon says, and see how quickly your kids can do the hand motion for that era. If you need help remembering the eras watch the video linked below, but there is one correction. The CHURCH era hand motion is now your thumbs pointing to yourself (as God’s people are the church).
