When I was in Sunday School I learnt a great song that helped me to learn all the books of the Old Testament. I managed to track it down and I’ve since discovered that there was a version for the New Testament as well.
The Books of the Bible Part I (Old Testament Song)
Come on everybody let’s have some fun The Old Testament is for everyone Just sing with me and soon you’ll know The Old Testament books all in a row
There’s Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy Joshua, Judges follow along And then we get to the book of Ruth The following books are divided in Two Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles too Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Job
We’re halfway thru half way to go Just sing with me and soon you’ll know The Old Testament books all in a row

The Books of the Bible Part II (New Testament Song)

Both ‘The Books of the Part I (Old Testament Song)’ and ‘The Books of the Bible Part II (New Testament Song)’ are on an album called Family Circle by The McLean Family Singer.
