In one of my devotions this week with C.H. Spurgeon, my favorite devotional author, I was reminded that God will never forget His promises to us. The passage was Genesis 9:13-15, where God tells Noah that the rainbow will be a covenant between Himself and the earth — a promise to never again flood the whole world. The best part of that passage: God says HE will remember, so His promises never depend on our memory, only His.
This Bible story game will help your preschoolers remember that God never forgets His promises, and for this one you will need the following:

- Strips of construction paper in rainbow colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink)
- A preschool picture Bible showing the story of Noah and the rainbow
How to play:
Display each colorful strip on a table, one for every color of the rainbow. Before you play, share the story of God’s promise to Noah using your preschool picture Bible. Then go over each color together — many of your little ones may still be learning their colors!
Once your class knows the routine, have the children close their eyes while you take away one or more of the strips. When they open their eyes, ask, “Do you remember which color was here?” Praise every guess — right or wrong. If they miss it, remind them: “That’s okay if YOU don’t remember, because God will ALWAYS remember His promises.” Play several rounds and have fun!
Suggestions for Success:
- If your preschoolers are still learning their colors, use this game as a bonus color-recognition activity.
- For a bigger class, let a different child remove a strip each round so everyone gets a turn.
- Keep your strips and picture Bible handy — this is an easy one to repeat any time you want to reinforce God’s faithfulness.
“I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth… I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Genesis 9:13-15

Who is the Scripture Lady?
I still love how something as simple as strips of construction paper can teach such a big truth — that God never forgets what He promises. This is always one of my preschoolers’ favorite reminders, especially after a rainy day!
