I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for different games to do.  We need games for letting off steam, illustrating a point or just to put a break in our programme.  I hope these are of some help to you.

100 Active Bible Games for Children

Jenny Brown – Childrens Ministry

ISBN: 9781842911297

Price: £7.99

I have used and adapted these games for teenagers and for primary aged children.  After each game, they also give suggestions how to adapt the games if you have very young children.  50 games are linked to the Old Testament and 50 games are linked to the New Testament.

Theme Games 1 and 2

Lesley Pinchbeck - Scripture Union

ISBN: 9780862018412 and 9781859995907

Price: £7.99 each

I have the older version of these 2 books, and I have used this book time and time again.  Theme Games 1 is designed for 9 to 13 year olds and Theme Games 2 is designed for 7 to 11’s.  I have used these games in youth fellowships, Sunday schools and mid week clubs.  I have also used these for a children’s talk – the game is played as the illustration and helps get your point across.
