Books of the Bible Song for Kids (Free MP3 and Lyrics)

All 66 books of the Bible, in order, in one bright sing-along song. The chorus counts them (39 in the Old Testament, 27 in the New), and five short verses walk through each section the way it is grouped in the Bible: the Law, History, Poetry, the Major and Minor Prophets, the Gospels, Acts, Paul's letters, the General Letters and Revelation.

How to use it: Play the song at the start of class for a few weeks and add the motions from the lyric sheet. Kids who can sing the list can find a book faster in their own Bibles. For older kids, pause the song before a verse and see who can say the next books from memory.

Talk about it: 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." Ask: Who gave us the Bible? Which part of the Bible tells about Jesus' birth? (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.) What is the very first book? The very last?

Tips: Learn one verse a week, the same way the books of the Bible chart groups them. Print the chart for the wall and the lyric sheet for each child.
