How to Play the Old Bible Challenge

Lots of games go by the name "Bible Challenge." Some are made in a factory, some are made at home, but all share a common theme: getting people to have fun and learn about the Bible while they're at it. This homemade version allows players to participate in every aspect of the game, from designing the board to rolling the first die.

  • Butcher paper

Instructions

  1. Make the Game

    • 1

      Generate a list of at least 300 bible trivia questions. Try to include at least one question on each book of the bible and questions that range from easy to hard.

    • 2

      Write the questions on slips of paper. Write their answers on the flip side. Stack the slips skinny-side up in the cardboard box, similar to the way cards are stacked in the games "Trivial Pursuit" and "Pictionary." That will keep players from being able to see upcoming questions or answers during game play.

    • 3

      Draw a game-board on butcher paper. Make the board a path a winding path of 66 squares, one for each book of the bible. If you choose, decorate the edges of the path with crayon drawings of biblical scenes. You can also choose to laminate the finished board if you'd like to use it more than once.

    Play the Game

    • 4

      Place game pieces on the "Genesis" square of the game board.

    • 5

      Roll die. The player with the highest roll is asked the first question by the moderator, who must conceal the answer on the back of the card so the players don't accidentally cheat. If player one answers the question correctly, he rolls the die and moves ahead the number of spaces indicated by his roll. He is then asked another question. The player's turn continues until he is unable to answer a trivia question. Play then passes to player two.

    • 6

      Rotate turns until one player reaches the end of the board and wins the game.
