Introduce game- When you are in a line, where is the worse place to be? Let’s find out.
Have a list of review questions from past Bible stories or lessons. Line up all the students against the wall. Ask each student one question. If they answer incorrectly, they sit down at their seat. If they are correct, you say, “Get to the End of the Line” and they move and stand at the end of the line. Ask the next student in the line a question and the game continues. The last student standing is the winner.

From Google AI Overview:
Questions about Humility (Verses 7-11)
• Self-Exaltation vs. Humility:
What does Jesus observe about the guests and why does he warn them against seeking places of honor?
• The Parable's Outcome:
What happens to someone who exalts themselves, and how does this contrast with someone who is humble?
• Practical Application:
How can one "humble oneself" in daily life, and is there such a thing as false humility?
• Cultural Relevance:
How do modern cultures encourage self-promotion, and what lessons can be learned from these teachings about pride and humility?
Questions about Hospitality (Verses 12-14)
• Motivation for Hospitality:
What is the warning for a host who invites only friends, family, and the rich, and why?
• True Generosity:
Who should be invited to a banquet according to Jesus' advice, and why is this type of guest selection significant?
• Repayment and Rewards:
What does it mean to be "repaid at the resurrection of the righteous," and how does this hope influence our actions?
• Spiritual vs. Social:
How can the church avoid becoming exclusive, similar to the Pharisees' practices, and instead embrace the spirit of Jesus' teaching?
Broader Questions
• Jesus' Intent:
What is the underlying purpose of Jesus' teachings in this passage, and who is he speaking to beyond the immediate guests and host?
• The Meaning of "Poor, Crippled, Lame, and Blind":
Are these terms literal, or do they also represent spiritual and emotional "impairments" that can be helped through acts of compassion?
• Motivations for Service:
The teachings suggest rewards at the resurrection, but should the primary motivation for our actions be heavenly reward, or something else?
• Cost of Discipleship:
What is the cost or potential expense for individuals and groups who choose to act with genuine compassion and selflessness, as exemplified by Jesus's teachings?
