Dust the Table: Relay game. Divide guests into two groups and have them stand in two single lines facing two tables which are the goals. Tables should be placed about twenty feet away, one at the head of each line. Place a chair besides the table and a Bible on the seat of each chair. Lay a dust cloth on the floor near each chair and across the back of each chair lay a folded tablecloth. At the sound of the leader’s whistle the first player in each line must run to the table, pick up the dust cloth and wipe the entire table top. Then he must rush back and give the cloth to the player next in his group, who takes the cloth and runs to the table and dusts it in the same way and so on down the line until it reaches the last player in the line. The last player must not only dust the table, but after throwing the dust cloth on the floor, he must unfold the tablecloth, spread it on the table, take the Bible from the chair and place it on the table and then sit down in the chair and open the Bible to a specific Verse and read it out loud. The group whose last player first accomplishes this is declared the winner.

Stand up, Christian: Everyone knows how the early Christians were persecuted. Divide the players into two equal groups. Each group must form a single line facing a goal. Each group must choose a captain who must sit on the floor at the head of his group about fifteen feet from the first player in his line. Players in the line also sit on the floor with legs crossed. When the leader blows the whistle the first player jumps up, runs forward, gets the captain by the hand and pulls him to his feet as he says, “Stand Up.” The captain remains standing as the first player runs back to the next in line, grabs the player's hand and says, “Stand up.” Then the first player takes his place at the foot of the line as the second player goes forward and shakes the captain’s hand. He then rushes back to the next in line and helps him up and so on down the line until all players are standing. First group to accomplish this is the winning group. Players must not rise from the floor until their hand is touched.

Blind Obstacle Course - Trust Game: This is a fun obstacle course game that involves blindfolds and trust. You’ll need to set up a simple obstacle course using safe objects like cushions, boxes, and soft plastic cones. Divide players into pairs and have one person from each team blindfolded. They must make it through the obstacle course guided only by their partner’s voice. After they finish they switch places with their partner and become the leader. You can place a bible at the end of the obstacle course. When they reach the bible they can remove their blindfold. This is symbolic for God opening your eyes when you follow his word.

Fishing for the Lord: Using a cardboard cut out twelve fish shapes. Write the names of the apostles on the fish shapes. Attach a paper clip to each of the fish shapes. Cut several pieces of string and tie a small magnet to each of the strings. The string should be two or three feet in length. Divide the group into teams. The participants take turns using these strings to fish. The team that catches the most fish at a given time is declared the winner.
