PRETEEN GAME: BIBLE TRIVIA NINJA

This fun game requires students to be quick, use a little bit of strategy, and display their amazing ninja skills.

The goal of the Bible Trivia Ninja game is to be the last ninja standing.

HOW TO PLAY

Have all of your students stand in a circle, facing each other, in the middle of the room.

To begin, have everyone say together, “Bible. Trivia. Ninja!”

Then, everyone will freeze in a ninja pose.

Choose a student to go first.

Going clockwise, the person whose turn it is must try and hit someone’s hand in a ninja-life motion, either to the left or the right of them.

On a player’s turn, he or she is allowed one motion: one smooth motion to attack another player, or one smooth motion to move somewhere (to jump or take a large step in any direction).

After you strike a pose, you must hold this new position.

You are not allowed to move from your ninja pose unless: someone is trying to hit your hand or it is your turn.

To stay in the game, you must not let anyone hit your hand.

If someone hits your hand, you will have the opportunity to answer a Bible Trivia question correctly, or you must leave the game.

Use the below questions for the students to answer if they are struck by another “ninja” during the game. You might have to come up with more questions of your own. The question is their life-line to stay in. If they get it correct, they continue to play. If not, they’re out. Continue playing until only one player remains.
