Bible Trivia - Bible Games for Kids

Are you looking for some great ideas for bible games for kids? Then, look no further! No matter what age your class is you can use bible trivia to help with learning bible stories or any other part of the bible you have been teaching.

Kids as young as toddlers can answer questions. They may only be able to answer 'yes' or 'no', but this helps get them into a routine of answering bible trivia questions. This is great for churches or school who participate in Bible Bowls or other Bible Trivia Game Days.

All you'll need for a quick bible trivia game is some bible stories you've been working on and questions and answers to go along with those stories.

After you have finished several weeks of lessons, have a bible game for kids day. You can choose to do it during your regular scheduled time or set up a whole different day and time to get together. You can serve food and drinks along with selling T-shirts if you are trying to raise money for something.

If you'd like, talk to area churches and see if they'd like to participate in the game. You can give a medium sized trophy to the winning church. Trophies can be purchased for less than you would think and it would be a great day of fun, fellowship, and worship!

Here are some links to bible trivia questions you may like to use.

Bible Games for Kids: Sword Drill

Thursday, January 24, 2013

Bible games for kids are great, but you need to make sure that each game is teaching a point or a lesson that will help them grow closer to God and/or learn more about his word. A great game that can be used in Sunday School, Church Youth Groups, bible bowls, Christian schools, or even in a church service, is called a sword drill.

What is this crazy sounding game? No, you don't actually use a metal or wooden sword. You use God's word - the bible.

Hebrews 4:12 KJV says... 

¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

and Ephesians 6:17 KJV says...

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Sword Drills for Learning the Word of God

Doing regular sword drills with your Sunday school class, youth groups at church, or Christian school will help the kids learn the word of God. 

How does it work?

Have all the kids hold their bibles above their heads in one hand. The bibles should be all soft back as the hard back bibles can be tougher to turn the pages. When every one is ready and not cheating by putting a finger inside the pages, call out a bible verse for them to find, say go, and see who can find the verse first!

You can have specific verses ready for the sword drill before the class starts or just do it randomly. Either way, the kids will begin learning where the books of the bible are. 

Don't forget to let the kids read the verse when they find it. This will not only ensure they really found the verse, but will get them used to reading God's word. 

For smaller kids, call out books of the bible that are easier to find then work you way up to the harder ones. Some examples of beginner verses for sword drills would be verses found in Genesis, Psalm, Proverbs, Matthew, and Revelation. 

May God bless you in your effort to teach kids about the word of God.
