Guidelines

1. Anchor the Line: Have two volunteers or leaders hold both ends of a long rope across the room.

2. Deal the Cards: Hand out chaotic shuffle cards of biblical events (e.g., The Exile, The Giving of the Law, Abraham's Covenant, Paul's Missionary Journeys).

3. No Talking Phase: Give the teams 3 minutes to arrange themselves linearly along the rope without speaking, trying to position their cards chronologically.

4. Clothespin and Adjust: Let them pin their cards onto the line using clothespins once the talking restriction is lifted.

5. The Fact-Check: Go down the line as a group. If an event is out of order, the team must use a study Bible to find the context and correct its placement on the line.

Materials
