Drawing Game

Who or What? Play a game to guess things from the Bible story.

We have learned about Moses’ birth and his calling when God revealed Himself to him. Now, it’s time to put your drawing and acting skills to work! In this game, we will play as one large group. When it’s your turn, I will whisper something from our video or our lessons about The Birth of Moses. You can choose to draw it on the board or act it out as the class guesses; however, you cannot say a word!

If they can’t guess in thirty seconds, I will choose another volunteer to draw or act out the same thing. If it still isn’t guessed correctly, I will reveal it. Let’s play!

A different player will draw or act out each time. Whisper the item or event to the player and allow a few seconds for the player to think before you start the time. Players have thirty seconds to draw or act out their item or person. Try to give more challenging topics from the list to older players. If time permits: after each answer is revealed, discuss how it connects with the story.
