Walk through the Bible (Submitted by Shelley Mullins)
We turned out church into a Walk-through-the-Bible. Everyone came dressed as Bible characters. Each room was set up as a Bible story scene, beginning with Adam and Eve in the garden. The rooms were manned with the Bible characters corresponding to their room and a game booth activity was in the room.
For instance, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, dressed in sheepskin of course, directed a game where the kids threw a dart at a giant tree covered with red balloons. Under the balloon was a piece of candy they got if they popped it. We even had a snake puppet behind the tree antagonizing the kids as they threw the dart.
Other rooms were Noah's Ark, with a fishing booth over the side of the ark, manned by Mr. and Mrs. Noah. We had the wall of Jericho with boxes set up in a circle for the kids to march around. After 7 marches someone inside the circle knocked the walls down. This was actually a cake walk so someone won a cake! We had David and Goliath, and the kids got to sling a rock at a Goliath (a ladder with a big robe on it and a head made from hose and cotton setting on top for them to knock off).
