The Kings and a Queen Timeline Review

This is a tri-fold laminated timeline that opens up and shows where each of the kings of Israel and also Judah fall into the schematic of time. Sherlan has also included key information to help the student, whether child or adult, remember important information about each one. She has also included key information about the prophets who were prophesying to the kings during their reign, which I think is key to understanding how the prophetical books fit into historical chronology.

 But, my favorite part of this timeline is on the back. It is a small sketch that shows the timeline from Creation to Reconciliation in Heaven. By having this quick reference you can quickly and easily identify the place in history these things occurred. In fact I have pinned this page up onto the wall of my classroom and use it often to show Little Man where different events fall in history. Having this ready, easy to use, reference has aided my ability to help pinpoint not only the chronology of the kings but also the chronology of the Egyptians, the Sumerians, Babylonians and much more. Since it is small in scale it doesn’t take up much space and yet I can quickly point out where any historical event falls, either in the patriarchal, mosaic/royal/prophetic or christian ages.

The second product, Passages of the Prophets is a board game that is designed to help the entire family, or bible class, to learn more about both the major and minor prophets of the Bible. All you do is progress onto squares on the board, in a style similar to other popular children’s games, draw a card and answer a question. Because the game reinforces learning of scripture in a format they are most likely familiar with, they are excited to play and get the answers right. 

This is an excellent tool.
