Uses: For playing a Bible Name or Scripture Memory game.
Set up: Make a mini Four-Square court with chalk, or use masking
tape for indoors. (See illustration.) You will need a small foam
ball.
The smaller squares should be approximately 3' x 3'.
After the Bible names or Scripture verses for your class have been
thoroughly reviewed, play Bible 4 Square as a fun reward!
How To Play: The game begins with four players, each one
standing in one of the four smaller squares. The rest of the class
lines up behind position #4. Player #1 begins play. If you are playing
'Bible Names', #1 starts by saying, "Genesis", then tosses
the ball to any of the other three players. The player that catches
the ball must say, "Exodus", then tosses the ball to any of
the other three players; who in turn must say, "Leviticus",
and so on. If you are playing 'Scripture Memory', play is similar, but
you substitute the individual words of your memory verse as opposed to
Bible names.
If a player misses the Bible name or memory verse word, that player
rotates to the back of the waiting line and the other players in the
other three squares rotate around to fill the empty square. (See
arrows in illustration.) Square #4 is then filled with the next player
waiting in line.
How To Win: Players try to move up and stay in the #1
position the longest. However, there is not necessarily a winner. Play
as long as you like!
