Have you ever taken the time to imagine how incredibly beautiful the Garden of Eden must have been? I’ve seen amazing works of art that try to imagine this stunning place, but I have a feeling that no one has any idea how magnificent it really was. The beauty alone must have been impressive, but the fact that Adam and Eve had intimate and unhindered communication with their Father must have made up most of that garden in one fell swoop. The Garden of Eden may be a place that many children will enjoy imagining, but it is also important to point out the tragic history of the beginnings of humanity. I think it’s crucial that our children have a basic grasp of the Garden of Eden topic and here are 11 Bible trivia questions that you can easily integrate into any lesson on Adam and Eve’s first home.
