Kids Sunday School Games

Most children look forward to game time in Sunday School. It can be simple and short, as long as it’s fun. Many teachers use this game time as a reward for good participation in the Bible lesson. Choosing (or inventing) a good Bible game can even reinforce the lesson plan. Of course, games work great in children’s church or almost any children’s ministry setting.

This page links to some game ideas posts and also points out other helpful websites for finding church games. Please leave a comment at the bottom if you know of any other resources.

Christian Game Ideas for Sunday School

• Encouragement Game for Sunday School: This is a simple game I’ve used to teach the kids about building up others. I first used it to help some of my foster children to use positive words – a great need!
• Silent Football Game: This is a group game that might work better if you have some open space, but it could be modified to fit a Sunday School classroom.
• Captain Midnight Game for Kids Ministry: This is a large group game that works best if you have a gym or outside area.
• Quiet Ball Game: Another fun game to try at church. This one is a big favorite for kids and it can be done without causing too much noise.
• Kids Bible Trivia Game: Try these Bible knowledge questions to round out your Sunday School class.
• Post-It Note Games: Here are five creative activities for Sunday School using post-it notes. This is a life saver if you have dead time at the end of your Bible lesson.
• Games for Children’s Church: This is a post I wrote back in 2008 that links out to helpful websites that have children’s church games.
• Large Group Games for Children’s Ministry: This topic came up in our children’s ministry forums. This thread has several helpful ideas for games at church.
