OBJECTIVE:
<\/strong>Crack the code and guess the phrase by guessing the Bible words

ITEMS NEEDED
<\/strong>Bible codes

HOW TO PLAY:
This is sword drills on steroids! Before the game, determine the phrase you want the teams to get (ie,\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0is\u00a0Good). Then search for those words in the Bible. Write down where you find them, and then mark down which number the word is in the verse. This will give you the code (SEE THE BOTTOM). As soon as you give the card, start the timer. The first team to find the single words and decipher the code to find the key phrase is the winner. You will need multiple codes to make the game last longer, or make your code phrases long ones, so that the game lasts longer!!<\/strong>

There is other codes you can add to this game. Do emojis that the kids have to figure out who the Bible Character is, or what the Bible story is, or who the youth worker is. Mix these in the game with the normal Bible codes to make the game change a little bit. EXAMPLE AT THE BOTTOM

Example of card given to the teams\u2026..<\/strong>
THE CODE:
<\/strong>44 \u2013 4 \u2013 9 \u2013 9
19 \u2013 23 \u2013 1 \u2013 2
61 \u2013 1 \u2013 18 \u2013 16
25 \u2013 1 \u2013 1 \u2013 32
______ \u00a0 ______ \u00a0 ______ \u00a0 ______!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ANSWER:
<\/strong>Acts (44) 4:9 (4)-(9) Word 9 (9) \u2013 GOOD
Psalm (19) 23:1 (23)-(1) Word 2 (1) \u2013 LORD
