Review Game

Skipping Review: Play a game to review the Bible story.

Peter and some of the other disciples were professional fishermen on the Sea of Galilee. Point to the blue towel. Here is our own Sea of Galilee.

We will divide into two teams. A player from each team will answer true or false questions about the Bible story in our Superbook adventure. Hold up the plates and demonstrate. 

When it’s your turn, if the answer is True, hold up the plate and show me the side that says “T” for True. If the answer is False, show me the side that says “F” for False. Your team gets five points for each correct answer. But even if your answer is incorrect, you can still win points for your team!

Raise your hand if you have ever skipped pebbles or stones on a lake or pond. Children respond. Demonstrate as you explain the game. 

You will each get three chances to skip a pretend pebble (coin, eraser, or checker piece) on the floor, so it lands on our Sea of Galilee. Your “pebble” must skip at least one time before it rests in the sea. A point is scored for each “pebble” that lands and stays in the “sea.” After both players on the teams have had three turns “skipping pebbles,” quickly gather them up for the next player on your team!

Divide the class into two teams. They do not need to be equal.
Have a player from each team stand behind the mark and give each player a plate.
Ask the same review question from the list to both players. You may give easier questions to younger children or visitors. Feel free to add your own questions.
Players 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 for an incorrect answer.
Ask the teams to tell you the correct answer for any false question.
Have a leader or sixth-grade helper keep a running tally of the teams’ scores.
Players then take three “pebbles” and skip them one at a time toward the “sea” for points. Be sure that the players are done throwing their “pebbles” before a leader or sixth-grade helper picks them up after each turn.
The next two players take a turn.
The team with the most points wins.
