Our top 5 games for Sunday school
Kids Bible Matching Game
A five-minute warm-up for the youngest children. They flip cards to find matching Noah's ark animals, which leads naturally into the story of the ark.
Play nowBible Trivia for Kids
Easy questions about the best-known stories, each with a Bible reference. Read a round of ten aloud and let the class answer together.
Play nowBible Word Search for Kids
Twelve familiar words and only across and down directions, so early readers can succeed. A good quiet activity for early finishers.
Play nowBible Who Am I?
Read the clues aloud one at a time and let teams guess. The earlier a team guesses, the more it scores, so everyone listens closely.
Play nowBible Jeopardy
Six categories and 30 clues on a shared screen. Split the class into teams and keep score on a whiteboard.

Tips for Using Games in Class
Keep teams small and mixed so quieter children can join in. Give every team a turn before anyone answers twice. Read each Bible reference aloud after an answer, because the point of the game is to point children back to Scripture.
For mixed ages, let older children read clues aloud or keep score. Younger children can match animals while the older ones play a quiz. If you want puzzles for a particular season, see the Christmas and Thanksgiving games. If you would rather hand out paper, use the printable Bible games and coloring pages.
