We have learned a lot about Solomon and wisdom, haven’t we! Who can tell me something about wisdom? True wisdom comes from God; God grants wisdom, we can ask for wisdom, we all need wisdom. 

Good! Who can tell me something about Solomon? He was a king, his father was King David, he was the third king of Israel, he was one of the wisest and wealthiest men on the earth, he asked God for wisdom, he figured out how to tell which woman was the true mother of the baby. 

You are good learners! In this game, we will play as one large group. When it’s your turn, I will whisper something from our video about King Solomon. You can choose to draw it or act it out for the class while they guess what it is—but you cannot say a word! If they can’t guess in 30 seconds, I will choose another player who wants to draw or act it out. If it still isn’t guessed correctly, I will reveal it. Let’s play!   

A different player draws or acts each time.

Whisper the item or event to the player and allow a few seconds to for the player to think before you start the time. Players have 30 seconds to draw or act out their item or person.

Try to give more difficult items from the list to older players.

If time permits: after each answer is revealed, discuss how it ties in with the story.
