A simple activity for leaders who want a participatory Bible moment without preparing everything from scratch.
Free resource
Round 1: characters. Round 2: Gospels. Round 3: Proverbs. Final round: practical application.
Divide the group into teams.
Play short rounds of 5 to 7 questions.
Close with one application question.
Invite everyone to continue the challenge in BibleVerse.
A round of questions is forgotten in five minutes if it ends at the scoreboard. Close with one application question and the night turns into something people remember.
When a leader needs an activity that is already prepared, this one takes five minutes to set up and holds up across consecutive meetings without repeating itself.
Four rounds of five questions, easiest first. Answers are in parentheses for whoever is leading. The last round does not score: it is answered out loud and it is the one that leaves something behind after the meeting.
Who built the ark? (Noah) · Who was swallowed by a great fish? (Jonah) · Who defeated Goliath with a sling? (David) · Who denied Jesus three times? (Peter) · Who led the people out of Egypt? (Moses)
In what town was Jesus born? (Bethlehem) · How many disciples did he choose? (Twelve) · Who baptized him in the Jordan? (John the Baptist) · What was his first sign at Cana? (Turning water into wine) · How many gospels are in the New Testament? (Four: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)
According to Proverbs, what is the beginning of wisdom? (The fear of the Lord) · What turns away wrath, according to Proverbs 15? (A gentle answer) · Who asked for wisdom instead of riches? (Solomon) · Complete: «Your word is a lamp to my feet and…» (…a light to my path, Psalm 119) · Which book gathers 150 songs and prayers? (Psalms)
These do not score. Answer in turns and there is no right answer. Which Bible story would be hardest to explain to a friend who does not believe? · Which character do you like least, and why? · What would you ask Jesus if you had one minute? · Which verse has held you up this year? · What passage would you read this week if nobody told you to?
