Above Right: Player with foam die (can be found online at various "game" websites including http://www.trainerswarehouse.com/)

Above Left: "Generic" Game board painted on canvas that is adapted to many stories.The gameboard is made from 2 large canvas painter’s tarps sewn together with the gameboard painted onto it with latex paint. Some spaces are marked with a question mark, a cross and a piece of dynamite. Each of these spaces have corresponding cards. Question spaces have a question from the lesson. Cross spaces have life application statements pertaining to the lesson which tell of a “good choice” or decision and usually are accompanied by “move ahead one or more spaces.” Dynamite spaces have life application statements which tell of the “wrong” or not the best choice and are usually accompanied by “go back one or more spaces.” We always play as a team and stay together even when those spaces get crowded! -Jaymie Derden, State St. UMC

BELOW LEFT: Game Spinner
3-4 graders review the story of the Raising of Jairus’ Daughter by playing a review game with our game wheel spinner. Each team spins the wheel to obtain the “points” they will earn if they correctly answer the question. Stumped? We always have our Bibles handy to look up the answers if needed!

Below RIGHT: "Jesse Tree Checkers" An adaptation of Cornerstones (www.cstones.com) free lesson set, The Jesse Tree. A classroom rug was turned into a giant checkerboard with masking tape. The “checkers” are characters on the Jesse Tree — created with game cards provided with the Cornerstones lesson. The stands are 1/4” dowels glued into wood blocks. The game cards are placed on 2 colors of construction paper and then stapled onto the stands like little flags. For easy storage, just slip the flags off the poles and stack.
