Kids Sunday School Games

Games for Children's Sunday School

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.

I’ve been doing children’s ministry for 16+ plus years and sometimes the well runs dry! Thanks for this site and all the great ideas. The following game is simple but the children love it and I use it as a filler on those Sundays I have 10 minutes left. I call it the “Thankful Game”. I put sheets of all colors of construction paper on the floor in a circle. Make sure there’s at least one for each child. We start music and the children walk in a circle making sure to step on each sheet of paper. I close my eyes, stop the music and shout out a child’s name (making sure I include each of them at least once). They have to say something they are thankful for that is the color of the piece of paper they are standing on. They are very inventive: purple popsicles, orange sherbet, their favorite pink dress, red balloons….and it encourages thankfulness.

Idea for verse memorization (I’ve heard it called “How say you?”): Write down several zany ways of saying a verse each on a 1″ x 1″ card. Examples: “Like your falling off a mountain,” “while holding your tongue,” “Like Yoda,” “Like a sheep,” etc. Place them in a small gift bag or an empty tissue box. Pick a verse and then have the kids pass the bag, pick one, and say the verse that way. When each kid had a turn, you can pick another verse or just go around again with the same one. If you’re having trouble thinking of different ways to say it, the kids will be more than happy to make suggestions :-)
