Game of the Week: Pins and Pans

Help kids learn and memorize Scripture with this fun game.

GATHER:

• Two 9” aluminum pie pans
• Traditional spring-loaded clothespins
• Two different colored Fine-Point permanent markers
• Optional: Bike Horn

PREPARE:

• Determine a Bible verse that you want your kids to learn and memorize (20 or less words seems to work best).
• Using the permanent marker, draw a “notch” for each word from the Bible verse (you can include a “notch” for the reference, too)

 

• On separate clothespins print each word of the Bible verse selected.

 

• Create a second set using a different colored permanent marker.

PLAY:

• Separate and place two sets of the Bible verse on opposite sides of the table.
• On “go” players will race to see who can clip the Bible verse words in correct order around the prepared pie pan.
• For added excitement, include an old-fashioned bike horn. The player who completes the verse first will grab and blow the horn.
• Continue playing allowing the winner of each round to be challenged by a new player.
• OPTION: Make the game into a relay race by placing the prepared clothespins in a container on one end of the room and the pie pan on the other.
