Armor of God Game: Put On the Full Armor

This free Armor of God game is built on Ephesians 6:10-18, where Paul tells believers to put on the whole armor of God. Choose Quiz mode to answer twelve multiple-choice questions, two for each of the six pieces. Every correct answer makes that piece of armor stronger on the soldier, from a dotted outline to a half-lit piece to a fully equipped one. Choose Race mode to answer as many questions as you can in sixty seconds, with five seconds taken off the clock for every wrong answer.

There is nothing to download or sign up for, and it works on phones, tablets and computers. It is a good short activity for kids, Sunday school classes, youth groups and families.

Here are the six pieces from Ephesians 6:14-17 (King James Version) and what each one means.

Paul wrote Ephesians from prison, and he likely looked at the Roman soldiers who guarded him when he described the armor. Each piece he lists stands for something God gives His people: truth, a right standing with God, peace, faith, salvation and His Word. Playing a game helps children and adults remember the six pieces and the verses they come from, so the passage is easier to recall when it is needed.

After the game, try reading Ephesians 6:10-18 together and ask which piece each person finds hardest to use. For more verse practice, play the Bible memory verse game take the longer Armor of God quiz with an explanation for every answer, or test yourself with the Bible quiz.

Teachers can put the soldier on a screen and ask the class to call out the answer before each tap. Families can take turns, one person reading the question and another choosing the answer. A simple way to use it in a lesson is to play Quiz mode first, then read the verses in the list above and let children draw their own soldier with the six pieces.
