Opening Activity:
New Testament Cup Challenge
Each team receives 28 Styrofoam
cups. Each cup has a book of the New Testament written on it along with one cup
having “New Testament” written on it.
The cups should NOT be in order.
Each team will send one person at a
time to a table to create a pyramid out of the cups. The bottom row should start
with “New Testament” on one end, “Matthew” next to it, and so forth until a
pyramid is made with “Revelation” on top.
The first team to complete their
pyramid wins chocolate!
Discussion:
Reading the Bible
Why do
you read the Bible?
When do
you turn to the Bible the most?
What
are some of the reasons God gave us the Bible?
God gave us the Bible to:
Teach
us about Him and help us grow closer to Him
Teach
us about His Son Jesus Christ and to glorify Him
Teach
us about ourselves and the world we live in
Teach
us how to live Godly lives and how to live out His mission…Holy Spirit
Game Time:
Bible Tic-Tac-Toe
Have
each table divide themselves into two teams.
Each table will receive a Tic-Tac-Toe board, game pieces (10 pieces for each team), a cup with slips of
paper with Bible verses on it, and an index card with the 4 reasons from above.
The team with the oldest table
member starts first. They will draw a slip from the cup and find the verse in
their Bible. Next they will read the verse to the table and decide which of the
4 Reasons the verses matches. If the table agrees with them, they get to place
one of their team game markers on a square on the Tic-Tac-Toe board.
Play will continue until a team
earns a Tic-Tac-Toe. There are enough
slips to play the game multiple times.
