Sword Drills
Keep Your Seat
Here is a new twist to having a Sword Drill. Have 2 chairs set up
front. Pick 2 students to start and have them sit in the chairs.
Give a reference and whichever one finds it first gets to stay in
the chair. Then pick someone else to go next. The object is to see
who can keep their seat the longest.
You can combine this game with a lesson by choosing the Bible
references along some theme such as verses about prayer, love,
forgiveness, etc.
Bible Drill
This drill will probably work best on an individual basis and not
teams. You give familiar Bible references and let them quote the
verse. You will have to give some thought to your age group and
their general level of Bible knowledge. Here are a few suggestions
to get you started.
