Sunday School

• Toddlers are just starting to develop an understanding of God. Playing memory games helps the understanding to continue. Lay a bunch of Christian cards face-down on a table, and the children can take turns turning two cards over to try to find a pair. When a child finds a pair, discuss the significance of the drawing the child has found. It could be a whale, a cross, a crown of thorns or Noah's ark. The possibilities of drawings to put on the cards are numerous.
  
  

Elementary School

• One particular activity older children, ages 5 to 10, can partake in is the Lost Coin game. Read the children Luke 15:8-10 and explain the verse to them. Get some brooms, small balls (the coins in the verse) such as ping-pong balls and hula hoops (the homes in the verse). Divide the children into teams. Place the hoops in a circle on the outskirts of your playing area. Give each team a broom and a hoop. Place the balls in the center of the playing circle. When you say "Go," one player from each team sweeps a ball into her hoop. Once that is completed, the player hands the broom to the next team member. The game ends when the balls are in the hoops. The team with the most balls in its hula hoop wins.
  
  

High School

• Teenagers often find it difficult to relate to one another and to share thoughts and experiences with their peers. One activity that can overcome the hesitation to open up is called Cross the Line. Draw a line or place a piece of long string on the floor. Have all the teenagers stand on one side of the line. Ask a question such as "Who here has enjoyed reading the 'Chronicles of Narnia' series?" Those who raise their hands then step over the line and share their experience related to the question with one another. Keep the questions Christian-based yet open enough for them to tell about themselves.
  
  

Seminary School

• Students in seminary school are there to learn more about God, the Bible and how to teach others the same information. If you do not have very many students in your classroom, you can play a trivia game to break from the monotony of college life. You can set it up as a "Jeopardy" theme or a Trivial Pursuit theme. The students will show others what they have learned and they will also learn more, which is what they are there for.
