Ready-To-Use Bible Games

Bible games are a fun way to review and reinforce Bible knowledge. And while friendly competition is often involved, it is important for everyone to keep in mind that winning is determined by what we learn from the word of God, not by beating somebody on the scoreboard.

Here are two ready-to-use, multiple-choice Bible games. They’re easy to organize and play. Both games come with several questions that have four answer choices. Any number of teams can play, and each team will need a set of answer cards labeled A, B, C, and D, corresponding with the answer choices. Bible use is always a good option to offer with these games.

The games can be played a couple of different ways. There’s an active way: the moderator asks a question, reads the four answer choices, and braces himself! The first team to run the correct answer card to the front wins the point. Protective padding is optional!

A more civilized version of the game involves timing. After each question is asked, everybody gets a set amount of time to decide on the answer. Then, on signal, all teams hold up what they think is the correct answer card. Every team with a correct answer gets a point. Since the game could result in a tie, you might want to have a few tie-breaker questions on hand to use at the end.

PowerPoint versions of both games are available on request. They give you the added ability to project questions and answers onto a screen for everyone to see.
