One of the series we did at Youth this year was called ‘Eat Fresh’ and it was all about getting a fresh dose of the Word each day. Part of the series focused on the importance of regular Bible reading, and the other part was all about Bible knowledge. So the idea behind this game was to have a bit of fun and gain more knowledge about different people in the Bible. Our students went on ‘dates’ with a Bible character (a leader) and asked them questions to try and figure out who they were. It’s a pretty fun way to up your Bible literacy!
To save you heeeeeaps of time we’ve made up 24 different character profile cards specifically for Bible Speed Dating. You can find them in our resource library here, along with other printable goodies!
Prep:
Download the Bible Speed Dating profile cards from our library here. (Can’t access it? Sign up here)
Print the profile cards onto card (or back them on card after printing on paper) and cut them out. You’ll need one set for each team that’s playing we had 3 teams).
Recruit a leader to be the ‘dates’, one for each team. Prep them on how to play (see below) before Youth starts.
Set up at Youth:
You’ll need a table set up with two chairs across from each other. Set this up for each team you’ve got.
Have a Bible ready, one per team.
Provide a sheet of paper and a pen for each team as well.
How to play:

Split your group into teams and assign a leader to each team. Teams can sit near their tables with the leader and one student sitting at the table. Place the stack of Bible character profiles on the table facedown.
The leader picks up a Bible character profile off the top of the stack. The student sitting at the table with them can begin to ask questions about them to figure out who they are. Leaders can answer based off the information on the profile cards. The only question students can’t ask is ‘who are you?’
The rest of the team is allowed to provide hints to the student at the table, but only in the form of writing notes on the piece of paper provided and passing them to the student. They are allowed to use the Bible to look up information. No phones allowed though!

Once the student has correctly guessed the Bible character they can swap places with someone else from their team, who then has to guess the next character. The game continues until the whole stack has been correctly guessed. The first team finished wins!
Variations:
Instead of playing until the stack is finished, set a time limit (4 or 5 minutes?) and the winning team is the one with the most correctly guessed characters when the time is up.
Set a time limit for each character (30 seconds?) and if it hasn’t been guessed in that time then teams don’t get the point for it. The winning team is the one with the most points at the end.
