Sometimes you’ll hear these words in church or in Christian circles and you know they mean God, but you don’t know EXACTLY what they mean, and it makes you feel bad. Like you’re less than a Christian because you SHOULD know these and don’t. Have you ever felt like that? I have!
So I wanted to make some flash cards for myself in order to learn the names of God. Then, I thought…why not also make this for my kids so it can do double duty? Not only teaching ME but also my children.
Thus…the Names of God Memory Cards Game was born!
Names of God Memory Cards Game
On one page is all the names that you want to learn and on the other page is the corresponding meanings of the names. This makes the game really challenging.
You can laminate them or just print them out on paper (or even cardstock). You could tape them back to back and use them as flashcards or play memory by yourself or with your kids.
For littler kids, you could have them cut out the memory cards so they are learning scissors and hand-eye coordination.
For older kids, you could put these in their Easter eggs to find, and the person with the most amount of slips they can successfully put together wins the game. It doesn’t have to be Easter to play this game either; we hide eggs around the house all year round for various ways of having fun! Your kids will love it!!!
There’s an answer key, too, so if you get stuck on any combination, it’s right there to help.
All in all, it’s a really fun resource that will help you learn the names of God! 💖

*Update: I found more names that I’m adding to the blog post (but aren’t on the printable cards)
• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
