Students of the New Testament can familiarize themselves with the events of Christ's life by creating a sequence of skits or tableaux demonstrating the important events in his life. Create a stack of index cards, each listing one significant event from His life -- the Nativity, Baptism, Sermon on the Mount, and Crucifixion and Resurrection, for example. Have groups of two or three each select a card and create a skit or frozen image representing that event. Older children could be given the task of making sure that they present their skits in the order that they actually occurred in Jesus' life.
A brain teaser well-suited for older kids, Twenty Questions is a game of questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. This game requires one person to be "it" and think up a person, place, animal or significant object from the Old or New Testament. Recognizable possibilities might be: Moses, Joseph's coat of many colors, John the Baptist, Bethlehem, Mary, the ark, or Christ's cross. Each of the other participants asks questions one at a time, formulating guesses based upon the yes and no questions asked. The guesser who is correct becomes "it" for the next round.
Gather together some drawings and photographs of animals, plants, land forms, water, sky, and the planet and stars of outer space. You'll also need a bulletin board with labels for each of seven days across the top. Prepare the children for this game by asking them to listen carefully as you read from Genesis about God's creation of the world. Have each child select one of the pictures and pin it under the correct day on which it was created. Once the children have posted all the pictures, correct any mistakes and discuss the results.
This game is fun for all ages. Create a list of statements about any event, verse or person in the Old and/or New Testament. Be sure that the level of difficulty is aimed at the age-level of the children you are working with. For younger kids, try statements like "God created a plague on Egypt of babies falling from the sky because Pharaoh would not let the Hebrew people go. True or false?" or "Jesus fasted in the desert for 100 days and nights. True or false?" Again, make sure the difficulty of your statements is age-appropriate. This game works well as a method of reviewing recently studied Bible lessons.
