I discovered this website over the summer and just HAD to make sure you knew about it! Bible Games Central is a website full of super fun FREE Bible games that help teach Christian truths! If you ever need an extra game for a lesson or for an arriver activity, check to see what Bible Games Central has to offer. They’ve got games for kids, youth, and adults, and you can search through their games based on age, topic, or Scripture reference. Some of the games even come with the free printables you need to play, and almost all of the games include discussion questions and lesson connections! Here are some of my favorites:
