Does your teen get indulged in Bible games during his Sunday school?
Which game does he love to play the most? Do you have more games to share? Do mention in the comments box below. But it gets much harder the more people you have per team. Each team stands in a circle, and every person grabs a hand from two different people across from them. The goal is to end in a circle with no hands in the middle. As the groups untangle themselves, some people will wind up facing the inside of the circle and others will face the outside.
This game takes a lot of cooperation and communication as kids try to problem-solve, give each other directions, and maneuver around. You can run a trivia night however you want, but you may want some optional supplies to make it feel more official: tables, chairs, lamps for ambiance , a projector, a microphone, speakers, a whiteboard, and snacks.
The bulk of the prep work is coming up with trivia categories and questions. Obviously, the more categories and questions you come up with, the longer your trivia night will last. This is a good task to delegate to leaders or work on as a team. Make sure your categories and questions are relevant to the kids in your group the broader the better , but here are some categories you might use:.
Resist the temptation to make every question ridiculously hard. At most, you should have one really tough question per category. You can make trivia night into a really fun, out-of-the-ordinary event by putting additional effort into the ambiance. Let kids enjoy snacks while they discuss the questions together. You can do a minimal version of this with just paper and pens, but if you take the time to make trivia night more elaborate, it could easily become an annual tradition and one of the highlights of your youth group.
When the weather is nice or at least tolerable , it opens up opportunities to play some messier, more involved games. Supplies: Lots of fruit vegetables are OK too , baseball bat, goggles optional. Fruit baseball is exactly what it sounds like. They may already have a program they send this produce to, but if you ask the right store or the right employee , you can probably get all the fruit and veggies you need for free or at least a significant discount.
If you use peppers or citrus fruits, you should probably have your batters wear eye protection of some kind. Remember: the important thing here is that everyone gets at least one opportunity to obliterate a piece of fruit. Feel free to modify the rules or be lenient with strikes so that kids have more chances to participate.
Buy at least two of them one for each team you plan on having. Have one kid from each team lay on top of the ice block and hug the sides with their arms. Someone else will hold their legs and either push or pull them to a cone or whatever you use to designate the end of the course and back.
Then they switch: the student who was pushing or pulling hugs the ice block, and the next student in line takes their place. Have kids sit in the back of the line when they finish their leg of the relay. This youth group is a total free-for-all where kids and leaders get to pelt each other with giant marshmallows. If you have the time to plan and prepare, you can turn part of your town or a local park into a course for The Amazing Race.
Choose a series of popular, easily recognizable locations to form your course. Ex: Make a three point shot on the basketball course, send your whole team across the monkey bars backwards, guess the flavors in a smoothie, take a picture with a stranger wearing green, etc.
Have a leader at each station to explain the challenge and hand out the next clue. Set a time limit, and make sure everyone knows what time the game ends and when they need to be back at the starting location—whether they completed the course or not. Depending on your kid-to-leader ratio, you may need to ask parents to volunteer as drivers.
Make sure you set a time that everyone needs to be back. Be prepared to see surfboards, mattresses, outdoor heat lamps, go karts, and other absurd items. Leaders should talk them through what they should say when they get to the door so that people will be more inclined to help them. Also, some people may be willing to loan items they want back.
Up-front games are great because they let you put the spotlight on kids who may not get as much attention, or use some of the strong personalities in the room to your advantage. Played like traditional 20 Questions, this biblical version requires similar preparation to charades, where you will need to predetermine the topics to be covered. Then the opposing team gets to ask 20 questions to determine the Bible character, verse, etc. Again, this game can easily be played in large or smaller groups.
This Bible game requires a little prep time to determine topics. Remember, though, that the topics will need to be drawn, so you want to make sure it's a verse or character that can be illustrated in the time allotted.
It will also require something large to draw on like a whiteboard, chalkboard, or large paper on easels with markers. The team will need to draw out whatever is on the paper, and their team needs to guess. After a predetermined period of time, the other team gets to guess the clue. Bible Bingo takes a bit more preparation, as it requires you to create cards with various Bible topics on each, and each card needs to be different.
You will also need to take all the topics and have them printed to pull from a bowl during bingo. Bible Ladder is about climbing to the top, and about putting things in order. Each team will get a stack of Bible topics, and they will have to put them in order of how they happen in the Bible. So it could be a list of Bible characters, events, or books of the Bible. It's simple to create index cards and use tape or Velcro to put them up on a board.
