Collect old pizza boxes in advance to use for this outdoor game. You will also need to buy standard Frisbees, or use paper plates as Frisbee substitutes. Divide the class into groups, with one student from each group standing about six to eight feet across from each other. Have one group member hold the open pizza box while a second group member must recite the selected Bible verse from memory. If the member gets the verse correct, he gets to throw the Frisbee and try to make it into the pizza box. If not, the player will lose the turn, and the next team will get a chance to recite. For each successful pizza box catch, a team will receive one point. The team with the most points wins.
Memory is a classic game from childhood. Place a group of cards face down, and try to make a match by flipping the cards one at a time. If you turn two cards and they match, you get the pair. The player with the most pairs wins. The concept of the game is similar when you turn it into Bible Verse Memory. Write out each word of a Bible verse onto an index card and turn it face down. Now, each student flips over two cards, one-by-one, to put the verse in its correct order. The child who correctly turns over the entire verse, wins.
This is a great game because it relieves the monotony of sitting all day. Have all the children stand in a circle. The teacher stands in the middle of the circle holding a ball. Next, the teacher says the first word of the Bible verse, and passes the ball to one of the kids. That kid then needs to say the next word that comes in the verse. If the child gets the verse right, he gets to pass the ball to the student of choice. If the child gets it wrong, he needs to sit out of the remainder of the game. Do this game for several rounds until there is only one child left.
For this game, the teacher remains at the front of the classroom and calls one volunteer up to the front. That volunteer is then blindfolded. The teacher writes a Bible verse on the board, which the remaining class can see. The teacher quietly points to a word in the verse, and the class must read the verse out loud. However, instead of saying the word the teacher selected, the children clap instead. The blindfolded child must then guess which word was missing in the verse. Make the game more difficult each round by selecting multiple words to omit.
