Bible Pictionary is great for groups of 8-12.
Bible Pictionary List of Words
Although the original Pictionary board game comes with game cards that have hundreds of words on them for you to draw from, there isn't a Bible friendly version readily available on the market. The good news is that you can play this game without any third party tools. All you really need is pen, paper and a list of words (which we've provided below), and your creativity! You can even use your phone as the timer.
