Children often get
restless if they have to sit still for a long period of time. Bible
musical chairs gets the students up and moving to channel some of
there energy into a game and learning experience. It is easy to
play, as you will see below.
things you'll need:
Christian Children's Music CD
Cd Player
Chairs
Bible Questions (Possible Lesson Review Q's)
Bag of candy
Gather together enough chairs to equal one less than the number of
children and put them in a large circle.
You will need a long list of general Bible question, they can be
multiple choice.
To play the game have the children begin walking clockwise around
the chairs and start the music. When the music is paused the kids
must sit in a chair. There will be one chair where to kids are
trying to get in it. Use a Bible question to determine which one
stays in the game. Ask the question to the child that is most in the
chair, if she gets it correct she stays in the game, however, if she
gets it wrong the other child will get a chance to answer correctly
and "get the chair". If neither one answers correctly, the person
most in the chair stays in the game. After one student has been
eliminated, remove one chair and start the process over. keep
eliminating a student until there is only one left.
For a twist have the boys walk clockwise and the girls walk
counter-clockwise.
Give a special prize to the winner and a small prize (candy) to all
that played.
