Youth Ministry Games : Wheel of Faith

1. Wheel of Faith Submitted by: on January 9, 2001
Materials: spinning device (lazy susan) & chalkboard
Messy Rating: No Sweat     Duration: 20-40 minutes    Cost: $0.00

Just like Wheel of Fortune except with a spiritual purpose. Our wheel is simply a round piece of wood attached to a square base by a spinning device (easily bought at local hardware store). Cut out different colours of triangle-shaped construction paper and write on them ( ie. 100 points, 500 points, bankrupt, prize - we even had on that said "sing" where if the player didn't get a letter they had to sing something). Now glue these onto the circular piece of wood to create a "wheel of faith". We placed thumb tacks on the perimeter of the wheel and used one half of an ice cream bucket handle as a wand to gradually slow down the wheel ( similar to the real one on the show).
You can use similar categories for your puzzles but we try to use lots of Scripture verses or Church related things - any phrase, place, person, event, or before & after concept you think would fit. Draw as many blank spaces on the chalkboard as there are letters in the puzzle (like hangman). Let the kids spin individually or as a team (if there are lots of kids) and let them guess letters and try to solve the puzzle - give them a small prize if they succeed. Like the real thing if someone's letter isn't on the board they lose thier turn. This is a great way to get the regular kids to learn more Scripture verses and to expose the new kids to Gospel verses and ideas.
