This is a decidedly Christian trivia game for review of Bible stories in Genesis.
A list of true/false trivia style questions follows. It was created for a review of Genesis, from Creation to the family spat between Esau and Jacob. We use it to play a game called “Lie Detector.” Every child gets a statement and the opportunity to decide whether to statement is correct or incorrect. You can pick individual questions based on age, or move through the list chronologically. If using as a group game, players sit down once they miss a question. Players can win a pass, for a future question, by correcting a false statement.
This is also a neat trivia game to play in the car, or during family Bible study.
