New Testament Game Boards
Included in this FREE pack are 20 different color and blackline game boards for these 20 New Testament people:
- John the Baptist
- Mary {the mother of Jesus}
- Elizabeth
- Jesus
- Gabriel {the angel}*
- the wisemen
- the shepherds
- King Herod
- John
- Peter
- Matthew
- Nicodemus
- the woman at the well
- Zacchaeus
- Mary Magdalene
- Martha
- Pontius Pilate
- Philip
- Paul
- Barnabas
*Obviously, Gabriel is an angel and not a person. 🙂
The clue sheet includes THREE clues for each person, which allows you to play three different rounds.
Round one and round two include easier clues. For example, Zacchaeus’s clues are:
- He climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus.
- He was short tax collector.
The third clue is a little harder and would be a great fit for older kids who are more versed in the New Testament stories. It includes a quote that the person said.** For example, who said, “How can someone be born when they are old?” {Nicodemus}
**I was surprised how many main characters in the New Testament do not have any direct quotes. For example, Matthew, one of Jesus’s disciples, does not. Therefore, I have given one more clue for Matthew in the third column.
Playing New Testament Cover 10
To Prep the Games:
- Print out and cut apart the game boards. Print as many boards as you have players. Choose from color or blackline.
- Give one board to each child along with 10 counters or manipulatives to cover their board.
- Keep the “Cover 10 Clue Sheet” for yourself.
To Play the Games:
- Only call one clue on the clue sheet. Once called, check off the person on the clue sheet so you know you’ve called the clue for him/her. Note: There are three clues with the hardest being in the “Who said this?” column. You can either play three rounds or adapt the game to the age group that’s playing.
- Each player listens to the clue and looks for the Old Testament person the clue is referring to on their board.
- If a player has the person, they cover the NT person with a counter/manipulative.
- The first player to cover all 10 people on their board wins! (Make sure you have indeed called the clues for those NT people.)
