Interactive Bible Activity for Fall

Name: Where Am I? Act it out
Objective: To study or review the places where certain Bible characters have been.

Prerequisites: Players must have studied the life and activities of several Bible characters.

Preparation: Players might be asked weeks ahead to study the life and activities of specific Bible characters. The focus of the game can also be limited to a specific list of characters, like a list of ten Bible characters with whom the players are familiar. A list of Bible characters in certain locations could be prepared ahead of time. This is particularly useful when working with children and beginning Bible students.

There should be some judges/counselors to make sure that the information given by players is correct.


Materials: Pieces of paper, each with the name of a character and a location.

Players: Small group, large group, entire congregation. Great for children!
