Review Game

  • Four paper plates
  • Marker
  • Two tennis balls or beach balls
  • Child's small soccer goal or bedsheet, two chairs and two clothes pins or clips
  • Optional: masking tape or painters tape
  • Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk to keep score
  • Bible or Superbook Bible app

Note: the items needed for this review game are identical to the ones used for Lesson 3 in “Paul and the Unknown God, Part 1.” Only the questions have been changed.


Place the soccer goal near one end of the room.

Make your own goal by stretching a bedsheet across the back of two chairs and using clothespins or clips to hold it in place.

Place a line or mark on the floor about 12–15 feet from the goal.

Write TRUE on two plates and FALSE on two plates. 

 

Place a TRUE and FALSE plate in front of you. Demonstrate how to answer using the plates as you explain the game.  


In this review game, you will answer true/false questions about the Bible story.  

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

You will also have an additional chance to score points by kicking two balls into the goal, once a question has been answered. The players will each take a turn to kick two balls into the goal. One point is scored for each goal. Players will retrieve the balls they kicked and quickly return them to the line for the next player.     

 

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 and FALSE plate on the floor in front of them.   

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

Players answer TRUE or FALSE by stepping on one of the plates.

Ten points are scored for a correct answer, no points for an incorrect answer.   

Ask teams to give you the true answer false questions.

The two players will take turns to kick two balls into the goal.         

The team with the most points wins.
