Here is the additional info to go with Bible GodVenture52.
One card in the pack suggests you:
Listen to an audio version of the passage. There’s lots online. See GodVenture.co.uk for details.
So here are just a few ideas of where you could get an audio version of the Bible:
The Big Bible Storybook Audio is available from SU.
The Contemporary English Version is available from the US here
The NIV New Testament is available from Eden
The Message is available on CD from St Andrews
The cards also mention game instructions, which you don’t need, but if you’d like to play some games with your cards and are looking for ideas, here’s some instructions for the games mentioned in the pack:
• Snap (2+ players)
Deal out the whole pack. Each player then takes turns to place a card on a central pile. When your card matches the one underneath, the first person to shout ‘SNAP’ wins the pile and puts them to the bottom of their stack. The winner is the person that wins all the cards.
• Beggar my Neighbour (2 players) (You’ll need to assign which pictures to give out 1, 2, 3, and 4 cards on).
The aim is to end up with the whole pack and for the other person to run out of cards.
Deal out all the cards between the two of you then take it in turns to turn one over from the top of your pile and put it on a central between you (as with Snap). If you turn over a Teddy, Trampoline, Car or ipod, the other player must put down more cards as follows:
Teddy – 1 card
Trampoline – 2cards
Car- 3 cards
ipod- 4 cards
If no picture cards are turned over in this time, you collect all the cards from the table and put them at the bottom of your pile. However, if the other person put down one of the cards listed above, they stop putting down cards and instead you put down the number of cards shown above. Keep going until one of you runs out of cards.
• Go Fish (3+ players)
Deal five cards to each person. Put the rest face down in the middle of the table.
Take it in turns to ask other players for cards, and the aim is to get as many sets of four as possible before the game finishes.
When it’s your turn, you can ask anyone for a card, as long as you have a card of that number or rank in your hand. If they have one or more cards that you’ve asked for they have to give it to you, and then you get another go (you can ask the same person or someone else – and again ask them for anything as long as you have it yourself).
If you ask for something and the person hasn’t got it, they say (or shout) ‘Go Fish!’. You pick up one card from the centre pile. If the card you pick up happens to be the same as the one you’d just asked for, then you continue your go. Otherwise the person who said ‘Go Fish’ has a turn next.
If you collect four cards of the same rank you put them in front of you face up.
The game finishes when someone runs out of cards. (If the centre pile runs out before that you keep going but just can’t pick up when Go Fish is called). The winner is the person with the most sets of four.
• Old Maid or Old Teddy! (2+ players)
The aim of the game is to make pairs and put them down on the table. You start the game by removing one of the teddies from a pack, then deal the remaining cards evenly between the players.
Each player picks up their cards and removes all pairs and puts them face down in front of them. If a player has three of a kind, he removes only two of those three cards. The person on the left of the dealer then takes one of the dealers cards (without looking at it). If they can make a pair, they do so and then they offer their remaining cards to the person on their left, who takes one. This continues until all cards have been paired except one – and the player who has that card is the Old Maid or Old Teddy!
• Pig (or Spoons) (3+ players)
This is a very funny game which you can also play with spoons (pick up a spoon instead of touch your nose when you have a set of 4).
Give 4 cards to each player. Everyone looks at their cards, then, at the same time, each player passes one card to the left and picks up the card passed by the player on his right. This passing continues as rapidly as possible so that players find it difficult to keep up. As soon as a player has 4 of the same in their hand (4 pianos for example), they stop passing or picking up cards and put a finger to their nose. The other players must now stop and touch their nose too. The loser is the last person to notice everyone touching their noses. If you play this with spoons it can be more clear cut who the last person is. The loser then sits out while everyone else plays again. The rounds continue until you have just one player left: the winner.
