How to Play:

The team that lands on all the words to spell out the Bible verse or phrase first wins.

Bible Lessons Question Game - Have your children or teams take turns rolling the egg to try and get it to land on a question from the lesson. If the egg lands on a sheet of paper, the child or team that rolled the egg tries to answer a question. If the team answers it correctly, the team gets a point. If the team cannot answer the question, the other team gets a chance to answer the question and earn a point. Keep playing until all the questions have been answered at least once.
