Game categories: Chilled Out / Memory
Materials: a Bible for each person playing (preferably with no tabs on them to make it fair)
When youth leader says "draw weapons", each person sits on a pew or chair with their Bible held up in air with binding facing them (this is to keep people from putting their fingers IN the Bible while hold it up so there is no cheating). Youth Leader calls out a scripture (i.e. John 3:16), makes everyone cite it back to him and then will say "Charge". Everyone tries to find that scripture in the Bible. The first person to find the scripture AND have his finger on the verse will stand up and start saying the scripture, if he is right, he gets one point. Play to whatever amount of points you would like - have a gift or a pat on the back for winner. (My kids usually are just happy to be a winner, they don't care about a gift)
We absolutely LOVE this game and it's a good builder for the group because they learn the books of the Bible and where things are found.
VARIATION: Play the same way but use a Concordance to pick verses that have the same "keyword" in them (i.e. pure). First person to guess the word that is showing up in all verses gets an extra point - then pick a new "keyword". (That way, everyone has to LISTEN to the verses that are being found)
Hope you enjoy playing as much as I have through the years!!

this is Great! and I really love the way it got teens into the scriptures... They learned a whole lot about where they could find the books, in the old or the new testament. Thanks!

I love the concept of "Draw you weapons!" I might even use that phrase whenever i want youth to get out their Bibles! The Word of God is our sword after all!
