Leader Guide

Additional Game

  • Two medium size boxes or containers
  • Marker
  • Two sheets of paper
  • Four paper plates
  • Tape
  • Eight socks, four each of two different colors
  • Optional:  masking tape or painters tape
  • Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk to keep score
  • Bible or Superbook Bible app

Write #1 in large letters on one sheet of paper.

Write #2” in large letters on the second sheet of paper. 

Tape one sign to one side of each box. 

Place a line or mark on the floor near one end of the room.

Place the two boxes on the floor beside each other about 12–15 feet from the line or the mark with the signs facing forward.  

Turn each pair of the same color sock inside each other to make two balls of each color. 

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. The first player from each team will then step onto one of the plates to answer true or false. Twenty points are scored for each correct answer. 

Once the question is answered, they will have another chance to score points by tossing the two sock balls into the two containers. Listen carefully because the next instructions are important! 

Players will throw one ball at a time. The balls represent a tithe, offerings, or gifts we give. 

We learned that God first gave to us and in response we are to give first to God.

The #1 box represents a temple trumpet like the one used to pay the tithe in the Bible story.

The #2 box represents a temple trumpet for other offerings or giving. 

The tithe is the first thing we give to God before we give to ourselves or others.          

So, you must try to toss the first ball into Box #1 before you can toss a ball into Box #2.

If the first ball goes into Box #1, you can then try to toss the second ball into Box #2.

If the first ball misses the Box #1, you must try again with the second ball.

No points are scored if a player’s ball or balls go into the #2 Box first.  

Ten points are scored for a ball that goes into the #1 Box. 

Five points are scored for a ball that goes into Box #2 in the correct order.           

 

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

A player from each team stands behind the mark.

Place a set of T/F plates in front of each team.

Give the first player on each team two sock balls of one color.

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.

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

Ask teams to give you the true answer to a false question.

The players will then have a chance to toss the sock balls into the containers.

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

The team with the most points wins.
