Bible Wheel Of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune-Inspired Spelling Game Each week, we start practicing the spelling list by simply reciting the letters in each word. If my son gets the words wrong (usually five or six out of 12-15 words), I circle them and those are the ones we focus our afterschool study on.

*Brad-for your spinner

*Laminator

Use spray paint to paint your small cardboard box. I just sprayed the front and top. I left the sides and the back of the cardboard box white. I let it dry for a little bit and then took it inside. I grabbed 2 pieces of red construction paper and taped it to the top and front of the box. I printed out the Bible Wheel of Fortune template for the front of the box and used decorative scissors to cut around it. I taped that on top of the red construction paper on the front of the box. Then I printed out the wheel spinner and cut it out. I laminated the wheel and the arrow. I put a brad through the arrow, wheel and box. I just used a push pin to make my hole first and then pushed the brad through it.

*If you are not able to laminate, then try gluing or taping the template to a round cutout piece of cardboard. You might want to make the spinner out of cardboard too if you go that route.

Pick out several scriptures from the Bible and write them on note cards so that way you have them. They will represent the different rounds.

If you have a large white marker board just write your dashes on the board for the scripture.

Wheel Of Fortune Kids Week

Split the kids into two teams. Then pick who will go first. Have the child spin the spinner. If it lands on a number then let them guess a letter. If the letter is part of the puzzle then write it on board on top of the blank. Let's say the spinner landed on $500 and they guessed an M and there was 3 M's in the puzzle then they would get $15,000.

If they guess a vowel then it will cost them $100 every time they want to use it. The team will continue to spin the wheel and guess the letters until they have missed one or solved the puzzle. When they missed one then it is the other teams turn. The game will continue on until the puzzle is solved. This is really good for kids to learn Bible verses or to review on lessons that you have previously taught.

You could make a Bible Wheel of Fortune cake too!

Children love to learn and are quick to absorb new knowledge, but to ensure their new knowledge is long-lasting requires review and repetition. It is important to regularly check your kids’ knowledge to see if they are remembering all the great things you are teaching them. Using games as a way of review can make it fun for you and your children.

This is a game based on the TV game show Wheel of Fortune which you can play in your Sunday School classroom to revisit past lessons and memory verses learned. After you have played it once with your class it will be easy to set up and play on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis to check that your teaching has taken root in the hearts and minds of your children.

Appropriate Age: 3rd grade and up

Materials Needed:

  • A large chalkboard or whiteboard with a large area for the “puzzles” and an area for keeping score
  • A spinner (This could be borrowed from a board game at home and re-labeled with point values ranging from 1-25 in 5 point increments such as 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. You may also want to include some special sections such as “lose a turn” or “spin again”)
  • Three desks used for the podium for each team (You could also just use three chairs)
  • A collection of Bible facts from recently taught lessons and verses to be used as “puzzles” during the game

How to Play:

  1. Divide the class up into three evenly matched teams.
  2. Write “blanks” across the large chalkboard or whiteboard. There should be one “blank” (an underline) for each letter and/or number in the puzzle. This is just like in the popular game Hangman.
  3. Announce to the teams the category being used for the puzzle. It could be the category Bible Fact, Memory Verse, or any other category you think fitting for your previously taught lessons.
  4. Each team will choose one representative to step up to their team’s podium or desk.
  5. The team representative from Team #1 will spin the wheel and guess a letter.
  6. If the guessed letter is part of the puzzle the teacher will write the letter in every place it appears in the puzzle.
  7. The teacher will then write the team’s score on the scoreboard. For example, if the team member spun a “5”, guessed an “L”, and the puzzle had three “L’s”. Then the team would be awarded 15 points.
  8. If during their turn a representative would like to guess a vowel, then it will cost their team 5 points. This 5 point penalty is a flat rate and is not determined by the numbered of guessed vowels in the puzzle.
  9. The representative from Team #1 will continue to spin and guess letters until their guessed letter is not a part of the puzzle or they have solved the puzzle. Their turn is then over and they take a seat back with their team.
  10. The Team #2 representative then participates in steps 5-9.
  11. The Team #3 representative then participates in steps 5-9.
  12. The teams then choose one new representative for the next round of play to carry on steps 5-11 until the puzzle is solved.
  13. Play continues like this until one team representative is able to solve the puzzle while in possession of the spin.

Winning the Game:

When all puzzles have been used the team with the highest score is the winner. It is up to the teacher whether to award prizes to the winning team or just allow them the satisfaction of knowing their facts and verses.

Tip:

You may want to allow the team representative to converse with their team when trying to solve the puzzle as this would include a greater number of students to be active in the game.
