Faith based ice breaker games

Here are some faith-based icebreaker games that can help build connections and foster a sense of community among participants:

  1. Two Truths and a Lie: Spiritual Edition: Each person shares two true statements about their spiritual journey and one false statement. The others have to guess which one is the lie. This game encourages sharing and laughter while highlighting the importance of honesty and vulnerability.
  2. The Name Game: A Biblical Twist: Have each person introduce themselves and share a Bible verse or quote that resonates with them. Then, ask each person to share why that verse is significant to them. This game helps participants connect on a deeper level and discover common interests.
  3. Human Bingo: Spiritual Edition: Create bingo cards with different spiritual traits, characteristics, or experiences (e.g., "has attended a mission trip," "speaks a second language," "has a spiritual mentor"). Each person has to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
  4. The Five-Word Story: Ask each person to come up with a five-word story that summarizes their spiritual journey. Then, have each person share their story and explain why they chose those specific words. This game encourages creativity and vulnerability.
  5. Scavenger Hunt: Spiritual Edition: Create a list of items or challenges that relate to spiritual growth or Bible verses (e.g., "find someone who has read the entire Bible," "take a photo with someone who has been baptized"). Divide the group into teams and see who can complete the most items on the list.
  6. Word Association Game: Spiritual Edition: Have each person write down a word that is significant to their spiritual journey (e.g., "hope," "grace," "forgiveness"). Then, ask each person to explain why they chose that word and how it relates to their faith.
  7. The One-Word Challenge: Ask each person to come up with a single word that describes their spiritual journey or current spiritual state (e.g., "peaceful," "challenging," "exciting"). Then, have each person explain why they chose that word and how they're working to grow in that area.
  8. Faith-based Would You Rather: Create a list of "Would You Rather" questions with a spiritual twist (e.g., "Would you rather have the ability to heal others or be able to communicate with God directly?"). This game encourages participants to think critically about their values and priorities.
  9. The Spiritual Superhero Game: Ask each person to come up with a spiritual superhero name and a brief description of their powers (e.g., "Faithful Frank" can heal emotional wounds, "Hopeful Hannah" can bring light to dark situations). Then, have each person explain why they chose that name and how they're using their "powers" in their daily life.
  10. The Gratitude Circle: Have each person share three things they're grateful for in their spiritual journey. Then, ask each person to explain why those things are important to them and how they've impacted their faith.

Remember to keep the games light-hearted and respectful, and to ensure that they align with the values and goals of your group or organization.
