BIBLE FUN - Bible Olympics

We've recently developed this collection of unusual bible quizzes that can be used individually as part of regular classroom teaching, or for a special fun event for a larger group - even the whole church! Test your own bible knowledge while enjoying these special "Bible Olympics"!

Autograph game

This is a fun way for children to learn more about one another in an informal way, and then to learn more about important bible characters. It is an excellent game for a children's party and will teach from the Bible at the same time!

Hidden Treasure Map puzzle

This puzzle is a good way to encourage children (or youth!) to look up bible verses and become familiarized with their bible, as they search for clues. This principle can be used to develop other puzzle pages and games also.

Gigantic Bible quiz

This is an interesting bible quiz for teams (either of children, youth or adults!) who think they know the bible! The winning team is found in a very unusual way!

Bible-based team races

These are fun activities and races for children that also teach important biblical stories and principles. As outdoor activities, they are a great way to start off a children's rally or special event and attract other participants.

Christmas puzzle games

Here are several bible puzzle games based on the Christmas story.
