Journey Through The Bible Game

Each player rolls the die and moves the number of spaces indicated. If the player lands on a picture, they must identify the Bible story it depicts. If the player is correct, they stay where they are. If they are not correct, they go back to where they were. Players proceed down the winding path and the first player to reach FINISH wins. The 2nd and 3rd place winners follow respectively.

For small children, adults may identify the Bible story when the child lands on it. After a while, teachers can call for volunteers to identify the Bible story. This will encourage children to learn the names of the Bible stories. By hearing the names of the Bible stories as they play each time, they will soon be able to identify them.






This board game can be used in numerous ways to teach children:

1) to identify the Bible stories by a picture
2) name a fact about the Bible story
3) answer a question about the Bible story (review previous lessons)
4) spell a character or object from the Bible story

I Love God Above All Things: is played with a deck of cards with pictures of various objects on them. The purpose of this game is see if you can "lose" all of your objects (cards) that you have valued over God.


4 pages of different cards

Introduction: We are to love God above all things. We cannot value money, power, TV, music, video games, homework, friends or other things before our relationship with God. Can you put God first in your life?


Directions: Four cards are dealt to each player if three to six players are involved. With only two players, five cards are dealt to each. All remaining cards are placed face down in a draw pile. Randomly choose a player to go first. On your turn, ask for a specific card. You must already hold one of these cards. For example: "Charlie, please give me the cell phone." If Charlie has it, he gives it to you and you go again. Otherwise, he says "Go Fish" and you draw from the draw pile. If you happen to draw the card you asked for, you get another turn. If you draw anything else, it is now the next player's turn. When you collect both cards, immediately show the set to the other players and place the cards face up in front of you. When the draw pile runs out, keep playing until all of the cards have been made into sets of two. When the draw pile is exhausted, no one says "Go Fish." If you ask someone for a card she doesn't have, it becomes her turn. The first player who runs out of cards says, “I love God above all things” and is declared the winner.

Here is a fun game to encourage students to do their homework.


*I share my classroom and I cannot leave anything on the bulletin board so everything that I use for my class has to be portable. This is my version of Homeworkopoly (game from above link) that some of you might find useful.


Homeworkopoly: The objective of the game is to learn the responsibility of doing your homework and turning it on time.

It may not be published on any websites or other electronic media, or distributed in newsletters, bulletins, or any other form or sold for profit. Reproduction or retransmission of any materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, is not permitted.

Younger Students:

GETTING STARTED

1. When a student brings in any homework, have them go over to the board, roll the dice and move. Each student will do this when their homework is handed in if they have done the assigned homework.

2. The students will continue to do this throughout the year. It never has to end.

3. Deal with special spaces as the students land on them.

4. Having a rotating "Game Show Host" to keep check on the board as students move will make your job easier.


SPECIAL PLACES

Community Chest- When you land on these spaces, take the top card from the deck indicated, follow the instructions and return the card face down to the bottom of the deck. The "Get Out of Time Out Free" card is held until used and then returned to the bottom of the deck. If the player who draws it does not wish to use it, then they may keep it (attach it to the back of the game board with a magnet), and use it when needed.

Chance- The teacher asks the student a question from the homework and if they get it right, they get a small piece of candy, Bible Bucks or whatever the teacher thinks is appropriate. If the player answers incorrectly, they must go back to where they were.

Prayer- Any player landing on this place must recite a prayer. It can be a prayer of their choice or whatever the teacher chooses (specify before playing the game). If the player says the prayer correctly, they stay where they are. If they are not correct, they go back to where they were.


THE PLAY

Place your marker on the corner marked "GO", then throw the dice and move your marker (in the direction of the arrow) the number of spaces indicated by the dice. After you have completed your play, the turn passes to the next student that has turned in their homework. The markers remain on the spaces occupied and proceed from that point on the player's next turn. Two or more players may rest on the same space at the same time. Depending on the space your marker reaches, you may be obliged to draw a Community Chest Card, Go To Time Out, say a prayer or answer a question, etc.

If you throw doubles, you move your marker as usual, the sum of the two dice, and are subject to any privileges or penalties pertaining to the space on which you land. Retaining the dice, throw again and move your marker as before. If you throw doubles three times in succession, move your marker immediately to the space with a Time Out chair.


GO

Each time a player's marker lands on or passes over “GO”, whether by throwing the dice or drawing a card, the student may receive a little prize, such as picking a piece of sugarless gum or little trinket out of the pencil box of goodies, Bible Bucks or whatever the teacher thinks is an appropriate prize. However, if a player passing “GO” on the throw of the dice lands beyond it on Community Chest and draws the "Advance to GO" card, they collect a prize for passing “GO” the first time, and another prize for advancing to it the second time by the instructions on the card.


TIME OUT

You go to Time Out (Time Out chair) when...
(1) Your marker lands on the space marked "Go To Time Out"
(2) You draw a card marked "Go To Time Out" or
(3) You throw doubles three times in succession.
When you are sent to Time Out you cannot collect a prize in that move since, regardless of where your marker is on the board, you must move directly into Time Out. Your turn ends when you are sent to Time Out. If you are not sent to Time Out but in the ordinary course of play land on that space, you are "Just Visiting", you incur no penalty, and you move ahead in the usual manner on your next turn.

A player gets out of Time Out by...
(1) Throwing doubles on any of your next three turns, if you succeed in doing this you immediately move forward the number of spaces shown by your doubles throw. Even though you had thrown doubles, you do not take another turn.
(2) Using the "Get Out of Time Out Free Card".


CHURCH

Any player landing on this place does not receive any reward of any kind. This is just a "free" resting-place where the player spends time in meditation and prayer. If you receive an “Advance To Church” card, you immediately advance to CHURCH. If you happen to pass “GO”, you many receive a prize.

Green With Envy (file folder game)

10th Commandment: You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods. (Catholic version of the 10th Commandment.)

Introduction: Coveting means wanting something really bad. It includes jealousy, but also taking things from other people, or ruining them so they can’t have them. We can do this with people—have you ever heard people say, “He’s my friend, he can’t be yours!” Or with property—for example, you might be angry at your brother and don’t want him to have the last cookie, so you eat it or hide it on him. Coveting is a way of being mean. It starts in our thoughts when we judge others. We think about things we can’t have, or that we think others shouldn’t have and then sooner or later, we act on these thoughts.

Green With Envy: A game that helps children to recognize what coveting is and identify ways of how to keep the 10th Commandment.

Directions: Put question cards and tokens in small baskets near the game board. Place your markers on START. Roll the die and move that many spaces. Follow the directions on the space you land on. If the space has a “Green with Envy” on it, the player to your right draws a card and reads it out loud (if they cannot read, someone else will read it for them). On each card is a situation that the player must identify whether or not it is breaking the 10th commandment. If they player is correct, they move ahead 1 space. If the player is incorrect, they stay where they are and receive a “Green With Envy” token. When a player lands on a “Do Not Envy” space, the player will name a way to keep the 10th commandment. (Example: My neighbor is very wealthy, but I am thankful that I can pay my bills.) When his/her answer states a way not to covet (want what someone else has) the player may lose one of their tokens and place it in back into the basket. Players will feel good knowing how not to be envious which leads to getting rid of a “Green With Envy” token. If the player cannot state a way not to covet, they move back one space. Players move around the board to FINISH. The player with the least “Green With Envy” tokens at the end of the game is the winner.

Gloria File Folder Game is a simple board game with the straightforward objective of racing the player's 4 pawns from start to finish with dice throws. Similar to the brand-name board "Sorry!" marketed by Parker Brothers, Gloria (Ludo) shares similarities with the game Pachisi (or Parcheesi), which in turn originated in 6th century India (from fun-free-party-games.com)



Gloria File Folder Game: Players race against other players in advancing his/her 4 playing pawns from start to finish by answering questions about Gloria and with successful die rolls. Each player has four specifically-designated finishing positions. The winner is the first player to successfully rest his 4 pawns on his designated finishing space. This game can be played individually or in teams.

*This game is in accordance with the new Roman Missal that was implemented on November 27, 2011.


What's Needed:

• 2 - 4 Players (or players can be in teams)
• Game Board
• 8 - 16 playing pieces (pawns) in 2 - 4 colors (4 per color)
• 1 - die


About the Game Board:

The game board is laid-out as a "Cross" (having 4 arms). Each arm contains 4 colored "resting spaces" -- also called Home Spaces, which are the destination spaces for a player. These home spaces are bordered by the spaces along which the pawns are intended to travel. At each corner of the board are the 4 colored Starting Zones, where each player's pawns sit at the start of the game awaiting entry into the game board proper. A successful die throw of 6 is required for a pawn to jump from the starting zone onto the starting square. Lastly, the single colored space between the Starting Zone and the Home Spaces is the Starting Space where each pawn starts its journey toward the Home Spaces.


Set Up: This game can be played individually or in teams. Each player gets 4 pawns of the same color. Players put all 4 of their pawns resting in the Starting Zones located at the 4 corners of the game board. Next, shuffle the deck and place it face down in a small basket near the game board. Put an empty basket nearby for the discards. Players choose who will go first and then game play goes clockwise. Players can roll the die and have the person with the highest number go first.


Moving Pawns:

The playing pieces are meant to travel in a clockwise direction along the cross-shaped. Each playing piece is required to travel 1 full rotation around the game board before it can move into the player's Home Spaces. A die throw is used to determine the number of spaces by which pawns may advance.


At Start of Play: The game begins with each player's 4 pawns resting in the Starting Zones located at the 4 corners of the game board. Players take turns answering questions (the first person to their left reads the card). Players must answer a question correctly to roll the die. In order place your pawn on the Game Board a player needs to roll to exit the Starting Zone and enter the game board proper, a player needs to roll a 6. On a successful throw of 6, the player then places a pawn at the colored Starting Space.

The 4 colored Starting Zones are located in the same place. The single Starting Space is designated as the tail end of the colored Arrow pointing towards the center.


Moving One's Pawns:

The player has choices: Provided the player rolls enough sixes, he can have all four pawns in play. Thereafter, he can choose to move any of his pawns on any valid die roll. Conditions for valid moves:

* The destination space should be empty, or,
* The destination space is occupied by another player's pawn. If so, this pawn is "Captured" and gets sent back to its Starting Zone.

Capturing Pawns: Landing one's pawn on a space occupied by another player "Captures" the opponent's pawn. The captured pawn is then returned to its Starting Zone, where it must remain until a successful die throw of 6 makes it possible to be returned to the game board.

Forced Pass: A player is forced to pass his turn if his die roll results in no legal moves. If the only way to complete a move would result in a player capturing himself, the pawns remains in place and the player loses his or her turn.

Landing on the Home Spaces: A player needs an exact die roll in order to land on a vacant home space. Pawns that are already resting on home spaces can no longer be moved.

The game board is laid out as a "Cross" (having 4 arms). The Home Space is the exact center of the game board, which means all 4 pawns must reach the colored "Arrow tip" by means of an exact die roll.


Rule Variations for Faster Games:

*Throwing Multiple Dice: To make a game proceed faster, each player can roll 2-3 dice at the start of the game and keep throwing multiple dice each turn until he rolls a 6. He then uses the results of the multiple dice throw to move his piece. In subsequent turns, the player should only roll 1 die to move.

For example, if a player rolls "6-1-2", he can place 1 pawn on the Starting Space, then move it 1, then 2 places on the game board. Thereafter, he can only roll 1 die each turn, and must roll a 6 before he can place any other pawn at the Starting Space. On the other hand, if the player rolls "4-4-2", then all his pawns remain in the Starting Zone, forcing the player to pass his turn. On his subsequent turns, he can throw 3 dice until he gets a 6, thereby allowing him to place a pawn on the game board proper. Thereafter, he should throw only 1 die.

*Rolling Sixes: Under this rule, a player is allowed to roll again whenever he rolls a six. This way, a truly lucky player can have all four pawns advancing toward his Home Zone in record time.



*Pawns can be coins, colored buttons, game pieces from other games, fish rocks for the bottom of aquariums, craft foam cut into shapes, etc. You can paint small objects such as rocks, small plastic tops or caps, etc. You can also buy pawns at game stores.
