Bible Tic Tac Toe, put the books of the bible in order using laminated strips we made, divide into groups and find a verse in the bible first.
Games -- We played lots of games to reinforce Bible skills like Bible concentration, Bible Jeopardy, and Who Wants to be a Christian-aire.
I also spray painted old puzzles and created New and Old Testament Books puzzles using paint markers. We also went on a Bible scavenger hunt which took the kids all over the church and all over their Bibles!
We culminated the whole event with a presentation to the congregation. The older kids read a sentence or two about each character in the "One Big Story" and then we unrolled that huge scroll. All the kids sang "Thy Word." It was pretty neat. (to hear more about this

Scavenger Hunt
I got a private message about a Bible Scavenger Hunt that we have done for many years as an introductory activity for our Confirmation classes. We divide up into teams and give each team the list and a sack to collect the items, plus a Bible. They work together to find the scripture, go to the site noted and try to figure out what the scavenger hunt item is. It's always a LOT of fun and it helps us figure out what their Bible skills are. Once time is up, or once a team finishes, we come back together and review the items and the scriptures.
Attached is the hunt list. (of course it's specific to our church and our rooms, but you'll get the idea).
Blessings,
