This game courtesy of Mark Schroder, youth minister at Campbelltown Anglican.

This game is based on the same game that has overtaken your news feed on Facebook!

The idea: Try and guess the word that is being represented by 4 cryptic pictures. This activity is a great one for learning about Bible characters, Bible stories and each other.

Create 3 rounds for the game. For example:

Round one: Bible Character

Round Two: Bible Story or thing:

Round Three: Youth Group Character ie. leader or member.

How to play:

1. Display pictures and the blanked out word on the screen
2. Allow groups to think about the answer and write it down
3. After a few minutes move on to next round.
4. After all pictures have been displayed provide everyone with the answers
5. Finally, choose one of the categories and give a few details or extra facts about it. If its a youth group leader or member interview them and pray for them in your small groups/pairs.

If the pictures are too cryptic, you can make a round easier by providing one or two bonus letters as clues.
