Biblical Learning and Challenges

1. Bible Memorization Challenges

📖 Memorization Club

Each week, the children memorize a Bible verse.

They are given a star or sticker for each verse learned.

Upon completing a certain amount (e.g., 10 verses), they receive a special prize such as a children's Bible, a Christian bracelet, or a diploma.

🎲 Verse Dice

Create a die out of cardboard and write a verse on each side.

The children roll the die and must recite or explain the verse they landed on.

🔡 Scrambled Words

Write a verse on strips of paper, cutting out each word.

Mix up the words and the children must put them in the correct order.

🏆 Memorization Contest

Organize a memorization tournament where the children compete amicably to see who remembers the most verses.

You can divide them into levels according to age and give medals or certificates.

2. Bible Reading Challenges

📚 30-Day Bible Challenge

Assign short Bible stories for children to read at home with their parents (example: Creation, David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions' den, etc.).

Use a Bible reading calendar and give them stickers for each day completed.

📖 Bible Explorers

Each week, the children should find and read a verse related to a theme (e.g., love, obedience, faith).

They are given a mission such as:

Find a verse where Jesus shows love.

Read a story where God protects someone.

Discover a character who was brave.

🎯 Biblical Treasure Hunt

Hide Bible-based clue cards around the classroom or church.

Each clue leads to a verse that the children must read to find the next clue.

The last clue leads them to a "treasure" (prize or surprise).

3. Challenges of Biblical Application (Putting the Word into Practice)

🤝 Good Samaritan Week

For one week, the children must do a good deed each day (help at home, share with a friend, pray for someone, etc.).

They write their actions on a piece of paper and place it on the "Tree of Good Works".

🙏 Prayer Challenge

Each child receives a prayer book.

For one week they must pray for a different person each day and write a short note about their prayer.

Then, they share how God answered their prayers.

💌 Blessing Letters Challenge

Each child writes a letter with a verse and a word of encouragement to another child or church member.

They learn the importance of encouraging and blessing others with the Word.

4. Challenges of Biblical Knowledge

📖 Who said this?

A sentence from the Bible is read and the children must discover who said it (example: “I am the way, the truth and the life” → Jesus).

🧩 Bible Puzzle

Print an image of a Bible story and cut it into pieces.

The children must put the puzzle together and then tell the story.

🧐 Biblical Detectives

They are given a clue about a biblical character and must discover who it is.

Example:

"I was swallowed by a great fish and remained in its belly for three days" → Jonah

"I built an ark and saved the animals" → Noah

🎤 Role-Playing Game

The children choose a biblical character and must act like him while the others guess who it is.
