Review Activity

Coin Flipping Review: Play a game to review the Bible story.

Players will try to flip coins and then answer questions.
Divide the children into two teams, as evenly as possible.
Each player stands behind the mark and receives two coins to flip with their thumbs into the container.
Demonstrate how to flip a coin using your thumb and index finger.
The first player for Team One flips two coins, one at a time, toward the container.
The player from Team Two takes a turn doing the same thing.
The teams receive one point for each coin that is flipped into the container, only if they answer the review question correctly. If a child cannot flip a coin after two tries, allow them to place the coin in their palm and toss it.
Ask the same question to both players.
The players have five seconds on the timer to tell the assistant or teacher their answer without the other player hearing it.
Both answers are then said out loud.
If correct, both teams are awarded the points they scored from the coin flip.
If an answer is incorrect, no points are scored for that team.
If a player wasn’t able to flip a coin into the container but answers the question correctly, one point is scored.
If the correct answer is “False,” you may give a bonus point to the first team that can say what the true statement is.
