A Bible

Steps

Print the cards and cut each page in half on the dashed line. Cut apart the calling slips on the last page and put them in a bowl.
Give every player a card and a handful of markers. THANKS in the middle is free, so everyone covers it first.
Draw a slip, read the word, then read its verse from a Bible. Players cover the word if it is on their card.
Five in a row across, down or corner to corner wins. The winner reads their five words back so you can check.
Keep going for a second winner, or play until someone covers the whole card.

Thanksgiving Bible bingo is a party game that reviews what the Bible says about giving thanks. There are 30 different cards (two per page) and 35 calling slips. Every word comes from a King James verse about thanking God, from Psalm 100 to the ten lepers, and each slip names its verse, so the caller reads a little of the Bible with every word. THANKS sits in the center of every card as the free square.

The ten lepers story set: the lesson, craft, coloring page and puzzles for The Ten Lepers (memory verse 1 Thessalonians 5:18) teach the same story as eight of these words.

Tips

Dried corn or beans make good markers for a Thanksgiving table. Crayons work too if every player gets a fresh card.
To check a winner quickly, have them read their five words back while you find the slips you've drawn.
Short on time? Play "four corners" or "an X" instead of a full card.
Pair it with Thanksgiving Bible trivia and the Christian Thanksgiving left right game for a full church Thanksgiving party.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Thanksgiving Bible bingo?

Each player gets a card. The leader draws a word, reads its verse from the Bible, and players cover the word if they have it. Five in a row wins, and THANKS in the center is free.

Where do the bingo words come from?

From Bible verses about giving thanks, such as Psalm 100, Psalm 103 and the ten lepers in Luke 17. Every word is checked against the King James text of the verse on its calling slip.

What age is this bingo for?

Kids who can read short words, about ages 6 and up. Pair a younger child with an older buddy, or play it as a family game after Thanksgiving dinner.
