Review games
- Bible trivia showdown: two teams, alternating questions from our 50 Bible trivia questions.
- Four corners: label the corners A, B, C, D. Read a question with four answers; kids run to the corner they think is right.
- Who am I?: describe a Bible person in three clues ("I had a coat… my brothers were jealous… I forgave them"). First to guess gives the next clues.
- Tower of review: each right answer adds a cup or block to the team's tower. The tallest tower wins (great with the Tower of Babel!).
Memory verse games
- Verse scramble: write each word of the verse on a card, mix them up, and race to put them in order.
- Disappearing verse: write the verse on a whiteboard and erase a word after each time the class says it.
- Ball toss verse: toss a ball; each catcher says the next word of the verse.
- Sword drill: call out a reference; the first to find it in their Bible and stand up reads it aloud.
Active games
- Noah's animal match: give each child a card with an animal; without talking, they find their "pair" by acting it out.
- Jericho walls: build a wall of boxes or cups, march around it seven times, then shout and knock it down (Joshua 6).
- David's target toss: toss soft "stones" (beanbags or socks) at a giant cardboard Goliath.
- Follow the leader (Jesus calls the disciples): the leader says "Follow me!" and kids copy every motion. Talk about following Jesus (Matthew 4:19).
Frequently asked questions
What is a good Bible game for a small Sunday school class?
Bible trivia, Who Am I?, and Verse Scramble work with as few as 2–3 kids, since they don't need teams.
How do you review a Bible lesson with a game?
Turn your discussion questions into a game. Each right answer earns a turn at something fun (tossing a beanbag, adding a block to a tower, moving a game piece).
