Seventh card (1) Where could you find the question that begins, “Can any hide himself in secret places”? (2) Repeat Jeremiah 23:24a. Eighth card (1) What is the meaning of the word “Bible”? (2) The Book. Ninth card (1) How many parts has the Bible, and what are they? (2) Two, Old Testament and New Testament. Tenth card (1) The Bible contains how many books? (2) Sixty-six. Eleventh card (1) How many books in the New Testament? (2) Twenty-seven. Twelfth card (1) How many books in the Old Testament? (2) Thirty-nine.
Review in Class
Explain to the pupils that each one is to have a card on which is some question, and if he can answer it, he is to keep the card, if he cannot answer it, the one next to him on the left may try, and so on around the class. If no one can answer, the card is to be laid aside to be drilled on later. If it is answered, the one who gives the correct answer keeps the card. Most of the cards are made out in such a way that it makes no particular difference which side up they are placed; that is, whichever side is up will suggest to one who knows what is on the other side. But in the questions on the Bible, books, etc., the cards should be placed with the question up. Of course it is obvious that the pupil who has the most cards in his possession at the end of the review has done the best work in it.
