7 Reasons Christian Grandparents Love This Bible Guessing Game, and How It Finally Got Their Grandkids Wanting to Learn About the Bible
A two-player Bible guessing game with story cards
You want your grandchild to know who Jesus is. To understand the stories you share. And, as they grow, to have room to ask questions and make faith their own.
But when you're always the one bringing up the Bible, it can be hard to tell what interests them. Are they curious? Confused? Listening politely until it's time to play?
Bible Who's Who gives you a game to share and story cards to read together. Your grandchild gets turns to ask, choose and solve a mystery. You get a starting point for talking about the people and faith behind the pictures. Here are seven reasons to take a closer look before your next visit.
The name they guess has a story you can read together
"It's Jesus!" doesn't have to be the end of the round. It can be the start of the conversation. Flip to the story card and you have something specific to read together: who He is, a short teaching, and a lesson about loving one another, with John 13:34 printed underneath.
Then you can ask one simple question: "What do you think loving one another could look like today?" Listen to what they say. Talk about an example from their own week. If they want to know more, open your Bible to the reference together.
That's why both sides of the card matter. You can read exactly what it teaches before you share it, and picture how you'd use it with your grandchild.
They can start with what they see, then bring in what they learn
Your grandchild doesn't need to know Noah's story to ask, "Does your character have a beard?" Each of you picks a secret character. You take turns asking yes-or-no questions, and after each answer you flip down every face on your own board that doesn't fit, until someone is ready to guess.
Picture questions let you begin while the names are still new. Then, once you've read about Noah together, try a different kind of question in another round: "Did your character build an ark?" If either of you isn't sure, look back at the card together. You can go back to picture questions whenever you like.
Remembering a story is what helps them solve the mystery
When a child hears that Noah built an ark, they've been introduced to a detail. Later, asking "Did your character build an ark?" gives that detail a job. They bring it back from memory and use it to narrow the choices. If the answer is no, Noah goes down.
Bringing something back from memory like this is called active recall. The difference is in what the question asks them to remember. A beard question uses the picture. An ark question uses the story you read together.
Keep it playful. If they can't remember, read the card again and carry on. The next turn is still theirs.
Your grandchild makes the decisions, and you get room to listen
Sometimes a child's wandering attention just means they need something to do. It doesn't tell you what they think about the Bible. With a board on each side of the table, your grandchild chooses the question, hears your answer, decides who to rule out, and makes the guess.
That leaves you free to watch what catches their attention. Maybe it's the ark. Maybe it's a name they've never heard, or why a character is holding a staff. Follow that opening when it comes. Ask what they think, and give them time to answer.
You have a place to begin, even when you haven't prepared a lesson
You may know exactly why your faith matters to you and still wonder how to put it in words a young child understands. Each story card gives you a short starting point: who the character was, one lesson, and the Bible verse it comes from.
Choose one card. Read it together. Ask what stood out. You don't need to get through every card in one visit. And if a question goes beyond the card, it's fine to say, "That's a good question. Let's look at the Bible together." Being honest about what you're still exploring leaves room for them to keep asking.
The conversation has somewhere to go once the boards are put away
Imagine dinner later that evening, when your grandchild asks, "Grandma, why did Noah build the ark?" This time, they brought the question to you. It's the moment many grandparents hope for: a child who wants to understand something about the Bible for themselves.
No game can promise that moment. What it can give you is a shared story to come back to. Noah is someone you've read about and played with together, so the next question already has a starting point.
Leave the door open with a simple line: "If you think of something else you want to ask, we can talk about it."
