Match Game

Make two double-sided copies each of the three Rock Card Pages on cardstock.

Cut the Rock Cards apart from each of the eight pages for a total of 24 cards. Scramble them in a pile.Scatter the Rock Cards, image side down, randomly on the floor; not in rows and columns.

No Stone Unturned: Play a match game with people, objects and events from the Bible story.

There is a saying, “Leave no stone unturned.” It means to search everywhere and try anything to find the solution to a mystery or problem. There were many rocks and stones in the wilderness by the brook where Elijah stayed. We are going to play a match game to find images from the Bible story. To do this, you will leave no stone unturned!

Divide the children into two teams; they do not need to be even.

Have teams sit together so everyone can see the Rock Cards on the floor.

Teams will alternate turns. A turn consists of a player turning over two Rock Cards to try and match images. The player will show the class each image.

If the images match, the leader asks the class how it is associated with the Bible story. The player returns to the team with the matched cards. 

If the images do not match, the player returns the Rock Cards to the floor, image side down, and returns to the team.

Play continues until all image pairs are removed from the board. The team with the most pairs wins.

Conclusion: Elijah trusted and obeyed the Lord. God has a solution to every problem and need that we have; He will leave no stone unturned to protect and provide for us!
