Bible! Fun!
GAMES not in material
Mad mice – marshmallow mice, string tied on, pot lid, dice – roll dice when a 6 landed on crash pot lid down. Kids have to pull their mouse out in time or else it will be squashed.
NEED: marshmallow mice, string, pot lid
Fish feast – broom handle, tie on string of differing lengths, marshmallow fish on string. Kids lie on ground under the string and have to try to eat their marshmallow fish while the leader ‘winds’ the broom and makes the strings shorter or longer. No hands!
NEED: String, broom handle, marshmallow fish
Recap 0’s and crosses – set of questions. Mark out board with masking tape or string. 2 teams – one naughts, one crosses. Each team given question to answer. If answered right then they choose where to go on the board. First team with a diagonal or straight line wins.
NEED: set of questions, masking tape, pages with 0’s and X’s
Oh no! – set of questions. Children answer. If correct get to pick a score from the box / bottle / envelope. Some slips have points e.g. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 others say ‘oh no!’ (Have even spread as it is more fun when oh no comes up regularly for both teams). Points are written up on sheets of paper, if an ‘oh no’ picked all points wiped out and go back to zero. Can regain points in the next round. Play until questions run out.
NEED: set of questions, slips with points and oh no’s!, bottle / box / envelope
Number game - For the game you will need a series of numbers (I usually use 4 x 100, 200,300, 400 and 500), behind each number is an activity that the group has todo, easy things for 100 and getting more complicated as the numbers go up. Iusually vary that some of the things it is just the group that chooses thenumber and some things it is all the groups competing for the points. Theteam that does best at the activity then gets the points. The kids are splitinto teams and the teams take turns to choose which number they want – thelower the number the more likely their team is to get the points. As far as theactivities go, I just usually make something up like dressing up a teammember in newspaper, pictionary, saying the memory verse etc.
NEED: newspaper, paper and pens, memory verse, song to sing
Paralytic relay race – kids in groups of three. Two to make seat with hands. Carry their friend across the line. First one over line wins.
Race against Rust! - One at a time team members must use a holey bucket to transport waterfrom one place to another as quickly as they can – go too slowly and they’ll start to rust! The winning team is the one with the most water in their container.
NEED: bucket with holes drilled in it, water
Balloon toss - In pairs. Each pair gets a small balloon filled with water. Stand in two rows facing each other – close to start off with. At signal throw balloon to partner. Then take a step back each round until last two remain with intact balloon. Last pair is winner.
NEED: balloons, water
