Bible Retreat
Children's Ministry Magazine
Fall is a good time to give Bibles to the children in your program. Many churches make
this an annual event and give Bibles to a certain age group each year during a special
worship service. You can make this tradition even more meaningful by hosting a Bible
retreat for kids.
Stay overnight at a hotel, camp, or retreat facility within two hours of your church. Bring
parents along as chaperones so they can participate in this memorable experience.
Combine the fun and excitement of games, a bonfire, and Bible experiences. Bible
experiences:
Design a scavenger hunt based on Bible verses. For example, have kids find
something that's found in Genesis 2:9 (trees); Joshua 7:26 (rocks); Nehemiah
8:10 (food and drink); Hosea 10:7 (twig); Zechariah 9:3 (dirt); and 2 John 1:12
(paper).
Present a brief drama of how the Bible came together.
Pray a portion of Psalm 119 for kids.
Have kids prepare and present dramatic interpretations of parables. Discuss how
Jesus used parables.
Use Psalm 98 to launch a worship service out in nature.
Have an old-fashioned "sword drill." Have children work in groups and race to
look up books, chapters, and verses.
Bring along a spinning wheel that has various numbers printed on the wheel.
Make a list of Bible questions, especially focusing on content that you've chosen
for the Bible retreat. Ask the questions, and spin for points.
