Tips for Playing Bible Charades with Kids
For small children, let them whisper the answer to a helper first, or let the whole room act together. Teens and adults can switch to Easy + harder for stories such as the prodigal son or Peter walking on the water. In a classroom, the leader can use a phone or tablet and hold up the word only for the player who is acting.
Charades fit well in a Sunday school lesson, a youth group night or a family evening. See more ideas in our guides for Sunday school, youth group and families.
