free bible stories for kids | Sunday school lessons | children's ministry resources
Hi friends I am always on the hunt for games that I can do in kids church. I like to start out the service with review games especially if I can cover the bible story from the previous week.
Attached is a link for some really good children’s games. I especially like the one called “Chatter Bee” . I think I will try it this Sunday.
Have Fun!

Good high energy game for all ages. Instead of water, you may find slippery things at a dollar store that make this game a lot of fun to pass from one to another.

Supplies needed: Many balloons blown up in advance, 2 chairs
Make two teams consisting of 4 players each. Usually boys vs. girls works best. Place 2 chairs at the front of the room. A helper stands beside each chair. Line up the two teams at the back of the room, in single file. One team stands on the right side of the room and the other on the left. Have everyone say the memory verse. Then say “on your mark, get set, go!” At this point the first player on each teams runs from the back of the room to the front. Each helper will have placed a balloon on the chairs. The children are to sit on the balloon until it breaks. First one to break, wins that round and gains 100 points for their team. Then their helper places a new balloon on the chair and the 2nd person on each team runs. Repeat memory verse between each round.

The game leader will show a picture of an animal to the children. When the game leader says “Go”, the girls must make that animal noise as loudly as they can. Then the leader will give the boys the chance to make the animal noise. The game leader will decide which team made the noise that most resembles that of the animal. The leader will award points for the winning team. Recite memory verses between each round.
