Here’s a great activity to do if you have several kids at home or if you’re working in kids’ ministry at church – a Bible Scavenger Hunt.
The difference with this scavenger hunt and other scavenger hunts is that the clues are all found in Scripture. Each clue has the reference and a phrase from a verse with a word blanked out. (The reason the phrase is written out is because some verses contain lists and kids wouldn’t know which one was the right one.) Kids need to look up the verse to find the missing word – and then search for the next clue. For instance, if the clue is “door,” they look around the doors. Good practice in looking up Scripture.
The last clue leads them to some small prizes, a treat or a promise of the next activity, whatever works for your situation.
I wrote out 11 verse clues for you – but these are just examples. Look for verses that mention items, places, etc. within the space where your kids play.
And have fun!
WHAT YOU NEED
*Clues, however many you need for your hunt.
*Bibles (I used ESV. The teams will each need Bibles in the same version you used in your clues.)
*Treasure at the end – treat, small prizes, announcement of the next fun activity!
