Popular Games With a Bible Edition
1. Apples To Apples Bible Edition
Ages 9+ | 4-10 Players
The classic version of Apples to Apples is a favorite in our house! Now with the Bible Edition, you can compare people, places, things, and events from the Bible.
To play, it’s as easy as comparing apples to apples (Did see what they did there!?)
Just open the box, deal the cards and you’re ready to play. Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge and try to win. When you collect enough cards, you win the game!
2. Bibleopoly (Bible Monopoly)
Ages 8+ | 2-8 Players
This is a fun twist on the classic game of Monopoly you know and love. Instead of bankrupting other players, you have a community-centered goal to build a church instead.
This family-friendly version focuses on giving rather than gaining wealth and the game requires cooperation rather than competition.
It’ll teach you good ethics, how to be kind, how to think about others and how to have effective communication skills all while having a seriously fun family game night.
3. Scrabble: Bible Edition
Ages 8+ | 2-4 Players
If you like word games and appreciate the Bible, you’ll love this game.
Compared to the original Scrabble game board…
- The Bible edition has biblical symbols in place of bonus spaces
- It allows you to score bonus points when you use inspirational words like “cross”, “holy”, “servant”, and “love”.
- You can use proper names like, “Jesus”, “Mary”, and “Joseph”.
Most people love the Christian twist, but a few reviewers have said that you could create your own rules using a standard Scrabble game board to create a similar game. It’s up to you!
4. Scattergories: Bible Edition
Ages 12+ | 2-4 Players
If you’re looking for an extra Bible challenge, you’ll definitely get it with the Bible Edition of Scattergories. Instead of guessing “items in your refrigerator” that might start with the letter S, you’ll guess “women in the Bible” or “sins” that start with the letter S before the timer runs out.
Because the pool of items is much smaller due to the biblical theme, I wouldn’t call this one kid-friendly, but it is still a very fun Christian game for adults!
5. Bible Taboo
Ages 13+ | 4 or More Players
The Bible Edition of Taboo is a top favorite game, especially when we have a big crowd of family members or friends in our house!
The rules are the exact same at the original Taboo game, but the playing cards are Biblically themed. You can play it with two couples or with a large party, all you need to do it split up into two teams. The team who scores the most points wins.
I also think this is a fun game to bring to a youth group or small group function within your church. My only complaint is that Pope Francis is listed as a card and he’s clearly not named in the Bible.
6. Bible Guesstures
Ages 8+ | 2-24 More Players
Bible Guesstures is a hilarious game that challenges you to high-speed charades. It includes easy, medium and hard cards so that no matter your skill level, almost anyone can play.
You can play with a friend or with an entire crew. Your team only has a few short seconds to guess each word. An example of some of the cards would “Lamb”, “Moses”, “Cross” and “Baptize”. As soon as your team guesses the word, grab it before it gets dropped by the Mimer Timer, then hurry on the next card.
7. Watch Ya Mouth Party Card Game With Bible Bundle
Ages 8+ | 3-10 Players
Imagine the silly faces your friends and family will make as they try to speak out “forbidden fruit” or “the powers that be” while wearing cheek retractors/ mouthpieces. This can be played with a big group and would be perfect for church functions or a good ole clean family game night.
NOTE: When buying it on Amazon, one reviewer warns: “When ordering expansion cards for the Watch Ya Mouth game, make sure you check to verify that it is indeed sold by Amazon and shipped by Amazon. If you don’t, you will get a China knock-off with cheap cards that have many misspelled words and duplicated cards.”
8. Outburst: Bible Edition
Ages 16+ | 2 or More Players
Outburst Bible Edition is a crowd-pleasing game of topics. Your goal as a team is to burst out answers and have them match the 10 target answers that are on the topic card. Some of the topics say, “Queens in the Bible”, “Musical instruments in the Bible”, or “Attributes of God”. Divide into two teams and see who can score the most points! One review said, “Even though some of the questions are hard, you’ll be able to learn something from them and laugh at yourself when you get stumped.”
9. Bible Mad Gab Card Game
Ages 10+ | 2-12 Players
It’s not what you say, it’s what you hear! In Mad gab, teams work to decipher groups of unrelated words into real phrases before time runs out. The Bible edition is no different, it just uses references from the New International Version (NIV) Bible!
Teams have two minutes to sound out three puzzles. To win, remember that repetition is key. Repeat the words a few times aloud, and you’re sure to guess that you are actually saying. Bible Mad Gab is better in groups but it can be fun one-on-one to test and see if someone can get it.
10. Blurt! Bible Edition
Ages 10+ | 3-12 or More Players (Junior rules available for ages 7 to 9)
Take a journey through the Gospel in the Bible board game of word racing. The best part: you don’t have to be a Bible scholar or expert to play! Also ten percent of the royalties collected from the sale of the game go to support Christian ministries in the United States!
In regards to the game, many of the questions reference everyday words found in the Bible but are easy enough that almost anyone can play. I really love how each question has a Bible verse reference so you can look it up to see how the word was used in the Bible. This is a great way to play a game but also use the Bible simultaneously!

11. Operation: Noah’s Ark Edition

This Christian version of the classic Operation is a fun way to teach preschoolers about Noah and the animals he brought onto the ark. It will have you and Noah scrambling to gather all of the animals before the biggest rainstorm in the history of the world!
Carefully pull out each of the animals out of their designated slots with the tweezers, but watch out! If you touch the side, you’ll hear the rumbling of thunder.

In the game “Veggietales: Don’t Sink in the Sink”, your children will have fun helping one of their favorite Veggies get to the other side and win this silly race. Don’t worry, there’s no water required.
With the game’s clever design, you can change the bridge piece on the board so that the sinkholes are in different locations each time you play. This keeps the game interesting time after time.
13. All Aboard The Ark Memory Game
Ages 4+ | 2 Players
This Noah’s Ark inspired matching game is a fun twist on the classic memory game.
To win, match up animals in pairs and get them into the ark before the floodwaters rise! But if one loses, we all lose and if one wins, we all win since this game is played with all players working together to make a match. Great for preschoolers and young elementary-age kids.

Since Bingo is universally understood, it’s a great game for friends and family of all ages. I love that this Bible version includes lots from vibrant graphics so even younger kids who can’t read can play.

The BibleMan board game is actually two games in one. The basic game (geared towards ages 3-5) is very easy to play while the advanced game (geared to kids 7+) adds interest for the older age group.
