Name That Parable Game: The first player to complete their puzzle and tell what parable the puzzle depicts, wins.


Assembly: Use your own parable pictures and print them out onto card stock. You can even use parable coloring pages that the students color as well. Cut pictures into simple geometric shapes (at least 4 pieces) according to the player’s abilities (the younger the child, the fewer puzzle pieces). Example: For younger students, cut the pictures into equal sized rectangles and have them all do the same parable puzzle. For older students, cut the pictures into several odd shaped pieces. Place the puzzle pieces for each parable in their own envelop or zip lock bag and label.

Directions: Place the pieces of a parable puzzle by each player. The players spin the spinner and follow the directions. The numbers on the spinner indicates how many pieces of the puzzle they are allowed to assemble. If they spin “Return a Piece” they must return a puzzle piece. The first player to complete their puzzle and tell what parable the puzzle depicts, wins. If they are incorrect in identifying the parable, they must disassemble their puzzle and start again. Continue playing to find out who comes in second, third, fourth, etc. place.
