Christian party games for kids provide a way for youth pastors and youth outreach programs at churches to engage the youngest members of their congregations. These games are also perfect for teaching Christian lessons on the appropriate holidays, such as Easter or Christmas. Ending a Sunday school class with a Christian party game encourages students to pay attention during the class.

Bible Charades

Playing a simple game of charades keeps kids of all ages entertained, but biblical themes and ideas worked into the game add an educational boost to the fun. According to the Any Occasion Free Christian Game website, players act out the name of a famous biblical character, an important Christian trait, or the story of a parable without speaking to their teammates.

Desert Venture is a unique Christian party game best suited for older kids. A leader reads from a list of true or false questions about any Christian theme, such as the Ten Commandments or important stories from the Bible. Players who answer correctly take a small step towards the leader, according to the Kids Sunday School Place, and incorrect answers lead players to take a step backward. Whoever reaches the leader first wins, but the game can continue until all the players have won.

A simple scavenger hunt encourages creative thinking and teamwork while teaching Christian values. The experts at Danielle's Place say to give each team a list of biblical verses with a key word missing, and a copy of the Bible to look up the missing word. Teams must locate items that represent the missing word, ranging from simple words like "stick" to more abstract concepts like "love" and "forgiveness."

Bible bingo requires specially printed bingo sheets, but the difficulty level of the game can be adjusted for any age range of party guests. Use Easter or Christmas cards to teach important lessons related to the season. A regular bingo card with the word "Bible" printed across the top will also work, especially for younger children.

This game is more active, and is great for young children who do not have the patience to sit through a bingo game or guess a biblical character in charades. Players each get a cardboard sword made from a paper towel roll, according to the Kids Sunday School Place, and the room is divided into two halves with a team for each side. Players spend a few minutes batting around small, lightweight balls, aiming to get the majority of the balls on the other team's side. Use this game to teach the importance of fighting against sin in their lives.
