Leader Guide

Review Game

  • Four paper plates or sheets of cardstock
  • Marker
  • Two beach balls or foam balls
  • Small, portable soccer goal (toddler size), or substitute a large box or two chairs
  • Optional: masking tape or painters tape
  • Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk to keep score
  • Bible or Superbook Bible app

Place a line or mark on the floor near where the children will stand to answer.

Place a small soccer goal about 12–20 feet away from the line. Or, substitute a large, open box turned on its side, or two chairs with about 2–3 feet between them.  

Write TRUE on two plates and FALSE on two plates. 
Place a TRUE plate to your right side on the floor and a FALSE plate to your left side on the floor. Demonstrate how to answer by standing on the plates as you explain the game.

In this review game, you will answer true/false questions about the Bible stories about loving our enemies, that we have been learning.  

When we ask Jesus into our hearts and follow Him, we become God’s children. No matter what anyone says or does, it can never change our relationship with Him! In Christ, we are secure forever! By standing up for truth and showing God’s love, we can attract people to God’s Kingdom. In this game, you have the opportunity to literally stand for the truth or stomp on what is false!

 

After I read a 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. 

Once a question has been answered, you will have one more chance to score points for your team.

In the Superbook adventure we saw in our first lesson, Chris had to kick a soccer ball into the goal eight out of ten times. We don’t have that much time, so each player will get only one kick to make a goal. One point is scored for each goal. Are you ready to stand on the truth?     

 

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 a ball to kick from the line or mark toward the goal.      

The two players will retrieve the balls to give them to the next players.       

The team with the most points wins.
