I heard of a family who played the “Name-As-Many-Players-As-You-Can Game” while driving on long trips. They would pick a number (like “23”), and then say, “Name as many college or professional athletes as you can think of who ever wore the number 23.” After exhausting that number, they’d go to another one. This was obviously a family who loved to watch sports.
What about another game? You can play these with your family or just yourself, while driving down the road or while waiting in a doctor’s office. Game #1: “Quote-or-Paraphrase-As-Many-Verses-As-You-Can Game.” Pick a book in the Bible and see how many verses you can think of in that book. Game #2: “Name-What-Is-in-Each-Chapter Game.” Think through a book, asking, “What is something in chapter 1 of this book…chapter 2…chapter 3…?” Game #3: “The Alphabet Game.” Start with the letter “A” and name as many people, places or things you can think of in the Bible that start with that letter, then go on to “B,” “C,” etc.
These games are the most fun for families who love the Bible.
