My church upbringing was pretty thorough.  As a baptist, I was involved in things like Bible Drill, Vacation Bible School, church choir etc.  As a result, I knew, and still know, the attributes of the Bible very well.  Things like the books of the Bible, who wrote what and when, "important" verses, general themes, etc. were second nature to me.

I say this not to brag, but to compare.  The kids in my Sunday School class, even the ones that have gone to church all their lives, haven't been exposed to the same kinds of things.  Whether that's a sign of the times, or due to geographical or church differences is irrelevant.  My point is that when we turn to a specific passage, almost everyone looks at the table of contents, or those handy little page markers, or asks someone where it is.  Maybe this was the case when I was younger too.  i just don't remember.

In any case, I've offered "prizes" for students who will learn the books of the Bible in my class this year, and I need some ideas that won't break the bank.  My plan for the first few students is to give them copies of DCB's new cd, but buying CD's for the whole class is probably not an option.  Anyone got some ideas that would both motivate AND be not expensive?
