Need an easy, no prep activity for a time filler or transition?
Play “Hangman” using a Bible Verse or phrase from your lesson!
Utilize a dry erase board or chalkboard to make it large enough for the whole class to participate. Allow the kids to take turns guessing letters.
Disclaimer: If the traditional “hangman” game would be offensive to use at your church…use the same premise, but see if they can guess the verse or phrase before you draw a regular stick figure with a silly face…it doesn’t have to be attached to a traditional hangman drawing to be fun!
Bible Verse Puzzle Game
Items Needed:
- 1 colored poster board per team (each team should have a different color)
- Write Bible verse on each poster
- Cut into large puzzle pieces
Instructions:
- Before class begins, hide puzzle pieces around room
- Divide kids into teams
- Tell each team what color puzzle pieces they will be hunting for
- Remind kids that the “Red Team” can only get RED pieces…the “Yellow Team” can only get YELLOW, etc. If they see another teams’ puzzle pieces, just stay quiet & leave it alone!
- On the sound of “GO!” the teams should hunt for their assigned color pieces & work together to put their puzzle together.
First team to find all their pieces & put their puzzle together wins!
Tips and Tricks:
- Assign an adult helper or older child to each team to help aid in putting puzzle together, if needed (especially for preschoolers)
- Tell the kids how many pieces they will be hunting for
- Make each poster as similar as possible…especially having same number of pieces
- For younger students, make sure puzzle pieces are not too hard to find!
