To continue lessons for your [tag]youth Bible study[/tag] on [tag]Gideon[/tag], try this introductory game to use with your students. This will work for [tag]Sunday school[/tag] classes as well.(Teachers words are in bold.)
Gideon’s adventures often go untaught because they are very similar to tales of his more famous compatriots–Moses, Joseph and later on, King David. However, Gideon’s humility, coupled with his anxiety about doing anything important, make him very relatable to most of us.
Where’s Gideon?
Take seven index cards and, using all capital letters, put one letter from Gideon’s name on each index card. Then hide the index cards around the room. As this is an Intro Activity, you want it to go on for long enough that all can participate.
Find good hiding places! Use camouflage! Stuff one in your pants pocket, so that only the corner shows.
This week, we’re going to be talking more about not judging by appearances, and we’re going to talk about a hero in the Bible who could have been described as “least likely to be noticed.”
In fact, he’s in this room, but you probably don’t notice him right now. His name is spelled out, one letter on each of seven index cards. Find all seven cards, put them together, and tell me what his name is!
