Bible Games for Adults, Youth and Small Groups
Simple games with no supplies that start good conversations. They work for a Bible study, a youth night or a family evening.
Adults and teens enjoy games too. A good game helps people relax, laugh together and talk about the Bible in a natural way. It also helps new people feel welcome.
The games below need no supplies, and each one takes ten to fifteen minutes. Pick one as an icebreaker or as part of a longer evening.
Quick Icebreakers
Use these to start a meeting in five minutes:
- Bible Who Am I Circle: one person thinks of a Bible person and the group asks yes or no questions.
- Bible Charades Relay: two teams act out Bible stories without talking.
- Bible True or False Move Game: move to one side of the room to answer.
Team Games
Use these when you have a bigger group and more time:
- Books of the Bible Line-Up: teams race to stand in Bible order.
- Bible Story Line-Up: teams put the parts of a story in order.
- Joseph Story Relay: teams tell a long story one scene at a time.
Games That Start a Conversation
These games end with questions that help people share:
- Good Samaritan Helper Game: act out kindness and talk about who needs help.
- Fruit of the Spirit Action Game: act out each fruit and name one to grow.
- Queen Esther Brave Steps Game: talk about courage and speaking up.
Tips for Leaders
Choose games that match your group. A quiet group may like a talking game, and a lively group may like a moving game. Always give people a way to join in softly, such as keeping score or helping the leader.
End each game with one or two questions. This turns a game into a Bible conversation. Keep it short, and let people pass if they prefer.
Play Online Together
