These activities can be great for breaking the ice, but ideally they would be educational as well. Bible Pictionary is a great game to try out, because it's exciting, fast paced and creative.

How to play Bible Pictionary

Pictionary is a game where player draw an item or a phrase, and everybody else guesses. Split into teams, and set a timer. Take turns drawing and guessing, and the team with the most correct guesses after everybody has a turn wins.

Bible Pictionary is great for groups of 8-12.

Bible Pictionary List of Words

Although the original Pictionary board game comes with game cards that have hundreds of words on them for you to draw from, there isn't a Bible friendly version readily available on the market. The good news is that you can play this game without any third party tools. All you really need is pen, paper and a list of words (which we've provided below), and your creativity! You can even use your phone as the timer.
