Bible Treasure Hunt

My youth group loves competitive games and activities. I hid a ‘prize’ someplace in the building (i.e. behind the water fountain)then wrote out a sentence telling where the treasure was hidden (Ex.:Great Treasure Is Hidden Behind the Water Found Near The Sanctuary). I then found a scripture verse in the Bible containing each word in the sentence, determined where in the verse the word was located, example: Genesis 1:1, first word (In), etc. Give the scriptures/words in random order so kids have to not only find the scripture and write down the words, they have to put them in correct order to solve the puzzle and find the ‘Treasure’. This is a fun way for kids to learn the books of the Bible while having fun.
