Make a copy of the True and False Question List.
Tape a True Sign to a container and a False Sign to the other container.
Place the containers on the floor. Leave some space between them. Place against a wall for bank shots if desired.
Roll each sock into a ball.
Tape a True and False sign set on the floor for Team 1 and Team 2, several feet from the containers.
Paul and Silas were led by God’s Spirit to share the Good News. Because of their faithfulness, many people were saved and set free from their sins! Let’s say our SuperTruth together: “We are saved by believing in Jesus.”
We are going to play a true or false game to review the Bible story.
Step back and forth on the floor signs and then toss a sock as you describe the game.
This is a True and False question game where you will have not one, but two chances to score points for your team! You can score a point by answering the question correctly and another point by tossing a balled-up sock into the correct container.
I will ask the same question to a player for each team. You will answer by standing on either the TRUE sign or the FALSE sign. That’s right; you don’t even have to speak! When both players are standing on their sign choice, I will reveal the answer. You score one point for a correct answer. Then, you will try to toss the sock into the container of the correct answer. So, if the correct answer is true, you score a point by tossing the sock into the True container. Even if you didn’t stand on the correct sign, you still have a chance to score a point! Let’s play!
Divide the children into two teams. If they are unequal, a player may take two turns.
