We love this game and how it focuses on teaching the parables of Jesus! I love how it helps kids to distill the parables down into four parts to help them focus on learning them. The cards are a nice, sturdy quality and I know they will last.

Even as an adult, I can easily get my parables mixed up. This game has helped refresh my memory and has taught my 5-year-old what the parables are. There are also “summary” cards that help phrase the parable in a very practical way. My daughter has already learned so much through the word pictures and summaries, just by simply playing this game.

This is a simple and fun game for grandparents to play with their grandchildren. We played it recently on a visit with our grandkids ages 13-5. They all enjoyed it, and it was a great way to spend some time learning/reviewing the Parables. And, the Oopsie cards add an extra element of fun!

This is such a fun unique way to help kids remember Bible parables and the meaning of each one. My middle schooler and I had a blast with this one.
