Have you been to a baseball game lately? Not? Then start your own game – Bible Baseball style!
Set up: You will need 4 bases: a home plate, a first base, a second base, and a third base. You will also need one card from each of the following titles: home run, single, double, and triple. Place the bases on the ground in the shape of a baseball diamond and place the cards in a bucket.
How to play: Choose one boy from each team. Decide who goes first. Give the child a Bible review question. If he/she is correct, now he/she has a chance to draw a card from the cube. If they pick the single card, they move to first base, the double card moves them to second base, the triple card moves them to third base, and the Home Run card gives them an automatic home run. Put the chosen card back into the cube. At this point in the game, both teams have had their first players “at bat”.
The second child from the 1st team goes next and follows the same procedure. Whichever card she chooses will also advance any of her team members already at another base. For example, if a boy from Team A is at second base and another boy from Team A comes “at bat” and double-cards, the first boy from Team A now goes to home plate and scores a run for his team while his teammate goes to second base.
The team with the most home runs at the end of Bible review time wins.
