Abstract

Bible literacy, specifically biblical stories, has been widely told and taught to children both at school and at church through Sunday school from an early age. However, there is no guarantee that these children will have an interest in biblical stories, especially when they reach adolescence. There is a need for more creative learning methods for children to learn biblical stories. It has been known that by adopting fun learning, children will be able to absorb more knowledge hence they are able to learn more actively. Children who are actively learning by initiative will be able to develop quicker. For that purpose, teaching tools are needed to support children. One approach is learning by playing. In this research, we propose the development of a board game to support the need of Bible literacy. The theme used on this board game is the story of Moses in the book of Exodus. We intentionally use colorful and attractive cartoon drawings to attract children. The board game includes interactive forms where players can quiz one another when they reach a certain position on the board. We use several assessment components to build competition between players. The aim of this board game is to create a more engaging learning experience of biblical stories for children, hence increasing their interest in the Bible from an early age.
