This is a great game for any number, as long as you plan the number of teams in advance.It is a scavenger hunt for your building. The kids really got a kick out of searching around the building. Give them a "clue", something that they have to find from using the Bible. Such as finding a separate word in each verse, then putting together all of the words to spell out the clue (ex.in an NIV Bible Gen. 4:5 10th word - LOOK, Job 35:9 4th word - UNDER, Acts 8:3 7th word - CHURCH, Psalm 113:8 2nd word - SEATS would lead them to crawl under the pews, where they would find their next clue.) The clue they find would lead them somewhere else and so on until they come back together at the designated meeting place. Not all of them have to be spelled out. You can also give a verse that infers an area of the church so they have to reason it out.
Put the clues on color coded cards so that one team will not accidentally look at another teams clues. It is also a good idea to have the teams in different areas at the same time. Make the blue team's 2nd clue be the green team's 5th clue, so that they would not be looking in the same place at the same time. First team to get all of their clues back to the meeting place wins. Good to build teamwork and searching the Bible.
