Review Game

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

In this review game, you will answer true/false questions about “Paul Keeps the Faith.”

Paul kept his faith and stood firm on the truth of God’s Word. In this game, you will have a chance to stand for the truth, too!

I will read a true/false question to a player from each team. You will stand on one of the plates to answer true or false. Ten points are scored for each correct answer. 

You will also have another chance to score points by rolling marbles to knock over dominos. The dominos represent difficulties, troubles, and trials we may face that can be overcome through Christ.   

Once a question has been answered. The players will have a chance to roll two marbles, one at a time, toward the dominos to knock them over. One point is scored for each one knocked down.   

Divide the class into two teams. They do not need to be equal.

A player from each team stands behind the mark. Give each player a set of T/F plates.

Have the players place a TRUE plate on the floor to their right side and the FALSE plate on the floor to their left side. 

Ask the same review question from the list to both players. Feel free to add your own questions.

Players answer the question by choosing to stand on one of their plates; true or false.

Ten 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 or bonus question. Discuss, as time permits.

Then, each player is given two marbles to roll toward the dominos.     

The two players will retrieve the marbles they rolled and then give them to the next players.        

The team with the most points wins.

If all the dominos are knocked down before the game ends, stand them up again and continue play.
