Bible Review Tic-Tac-Toe

The classic X's and O's game, except a team has to answer a lesson question before it can claim a square.

Get ready

  1. Draw a big tic-tac-toe grid where everyone can see it.
  2. Split the kids into two teams: X and O.
  3. Have 15-20 review questions ready from today's lesson.

How to play

  1. Ask Team X a question.
  2. If they answer correctly, one player comes up and draws an X in any open square.
  3. If they miss, Team O gets a chance to answer and steal the turn.
  4. Switch back and forth, asking a new question each turn.
  5. The first team to get three in a row wins the round.
  6. Erase the grid and play again until you run out of questions.

Tips & variations

  • Let a different player answer each time so the same kids don't do all the talking. Teammates can whisper help.
  • For younger kids, use simple either/or questions ("Was it Noah or Moses who built the ark?").
  • If the game ends in a tie, the next correct answer wins it.

πŸ“– Bible connection

Mix in questions that ask "why" as well as "what," like "Why did Jesus tell this story?" When a team gets one right, take a few seconds to talk about what it means for the kids this week.
