This is a rip off of a popular board game Taboo. Make a bunch of cards that have Bible characters or recognisable Bible things (eg. Noah’s ark, temple, Ark of the covenant, etc.) and list about five words on the card that can’t be used to describe the person or object (Taboo words). Split the group into teams and have each team taking turns at going through the cards and trying to describe the Bible character or thing to their group. 1 pt. per correct guess to that team, and -1 pt. if that team takes a pass on a card or says one of the Taboo words.
Note: I’ve done this game with 120 teenagers and it works a treat!
Here is a pdf of Bible Taboo cards (email me if you want the Word doc.)
JUST ADDED! A pdf of the Bible Taboo Cards in Deutsch (German)!
