Games are great—they get kids involved, build relationships, and make coming to church fun. But you have so little time with your children—do you really want to spend it playing games?

Absolutely—because every game you find here reinforces a Bible truth, explores a Bible principle, and cements Bible learning. Your kids will have fun learning Bible stories and Bible themes!

The Encyclopedia of Bible Games for Children’s Ministry includes fun, noncompetitive Bible games for holidays, icebreakers, group builders, road trips, total silence, and those wild ’n’ wacky times. In short, Bible games for any occasion…any energy level…and nearly any Bible story!

Use the helpful indexes to find the perfect game to complement your Bible lesson. You can search by Scripture reference, the game’s energy level (low, medium, or high), or by the name of the game. It’s easy to find the perfect game for your group to enjoy!
