Review Game

Bounce Back Review: Play a game to review the lessons about Isaiah.

Raise your hand if you were here for the previous lesson when we talked about returning to God. Children respond.

What is another word we can use for returning or turning back to God? Repentance, repenting, repent.

Demonstrate as you explain the game. The name of this game is “Bounce Back Review.” You will answer true/false questions about the Bible story of Isaiah and King Hezekiah by turning a plate toward me with your answer. You'll score five points for each correct answer. Then you will roll balls to hit the wall and bounce back to knock over pins, similar to bowling. You'll score one point for each pin knocked over. If a player knocks over all six pins, the team will score ten points. That’s how we roll today!

Divide the class into two teams. They do not need to be equal.
Have a player from each team stand behind the mark. Give each player a plate.
Ask the same review question from the list to both players. Feel free to add your own questions.
Players will answer the question by choosing which side of the plate to show you—either True or False.
Five points are scored for a correct answer; no points are scored for an incorrect answer.
Ask the teams to tell you the correct answer for any false question.
Players are then given two balls each to roll to the wall and bounce back to knock over their team’s set of bottles.
The two players then “re-set” the bottles for the next player.
The next two players take a turn.
The team with the most points wins.
