“Prophet-able” Review: Play a game to remember the Bible lesson.
This is the last lesson about the prophet Jeremiah. We are going to play a fun review game to remind us of the important truths we have learned. This is a True and False question review. Hold up the True and False Sign. To answer a question, you will hold up the sign to choose either true or false. The side that you show will be your answer. Five points are scored for a correct answer. You will also have two more chances to score points for your team. Each player will be given two balls to try to bounce into the trash can. You receive one point for each ball that lands in the can.
Divide the children into two teams—they do not need to be even.
Have each team line up a few feet behind the line/mark.
A player from each team steps up to the line and answers the same question by choosing which side of the sign to show you.
The players have a chance to bounce two balls into the trash can.
The players will retrieve the balls for the next players after the score is tallied.
The team with the most points wins.
Optional: when the answer is “false,” ask teams for the true answer and award a bonus point if it’s correct. You may also ask additional bonus questions related to the original one.
