[quote=Anonymous]basic bible stories: noah, abraham, solomon, moses, david and goliath, parables and events form the new testament (jesus and the moneylenders.) Particularly in a nonreligious family, we notice a huge amount of references in news and popular culture are to biblical stories, so we are reading them as literature. many many many quotes from shakespeare. when playing apples to apples it's easy to see where kids have gaps in popular culture knowledge...playing with one teenager he knew almost no history, so a slow game where I talked through some of the people or events was sort of fun. Many of the things listed on the cards he had never heard of.[/quote]
