Before and After” Instructions
The Concept: The players will be given a book of the Bible and they’ll have to name the books before and after it. Items Needed: Bibles. Instructions: You can split your group into teams or have them play as individuals. After a brief rundown of the instructions in the first few slides, they will be given 45 seconds to review the Table of Contents page of the Bible. You may want to have a few extra Bibles to pass out to the kids in case they didn’t bring one; hand them out beforehand because the built-in timer on the study slide starts right away. For each question, a book of the Bible will appear on the screen and the players will need to provide the name of the books before and after the given book. When a team/person has the answer, it’s up to you how you have them show you they know it. You could have them raise their hand, stand up, run to the front, yell out supercalafragalisticespialadocious, or whatever you want. If you think your kids will know some of the tougher Old Testament answers, you can play it just as the game instructions say to. If you think they might get stuck on questions like Zechariah and they’re playing in teams, you could offer one “contents cheat” per team. Each team would be able to use the cheat on one question in the game and check the Bible’s Table of Contents for the answer. Station your leaders/counselors around the room so the teams can alert them when they are using their cheat. This should work well if you have 3 or 4 teams, but may be a problem is you have 10 or more teams. If each of the 10 teams used their cheat on a different question, 10 of the 15 questions would be cheated on. This might cause some of the other teams to give up on trying to think of the answer because a team would be cheating on almost every question. Scoring:
One point for each correct answer. There’s a tiebreaker if any of
the teams/individuals are tied after the last question. |
