9 Simple Stations for a Summer Bible Olympics Event

Get your kids to “go for the gold” with these fun racing games and more! These are the perfect events for a Summer Bible Olympics Event.

9 Simple Stations for a Summer Bible Olympics Event

Set up these nine stations:

  1. Race to Jerusalem: Kids race barefoot around a course on a stick horse with donkey ears.
  2. Bibliathon: Kids arrange Bible books in order. (The books of the Bible are each written on a separate tongue depressor.)
  3. David vs. Goliath: Kids use a slingshot to hurl marshmallows at a “medieval shield” target.
  4. Feeding 5,000: Kids race to get the most BB-size pieces out of a paper towel.
  5. Road to Damascus: Kids each sit on a skateboard and pull themselves along with a rope.
  6. Strong as Samson?: Kids pull a heavy weight attached to a rope.
  7. Noah Needs Help: Kids race to see how many stuffed animals they can move from one box to another, using a long-handle grabber (available in most novelty stores).
  8. Happy Birthday, Jesus: Kids put out a candle with a water gun.
  9. Goin’ Fishin’: Kids “fish” for paper fish with magnets on them, using a small fishing pole with a magnet on its end.

We gave ribbons to the winners of the most categories in each age division. We also gave each participant a lollipop. This was extremely successful with our kids!

  1. I’m just starting to look for ideas for a “Bible Olympics” for elementary students. Thank you!

  2. I teach 7 & 8 grade students. I’m looking for some games ideas that will help build their faith.

  3. Which bible story is station 1 (race to Jerusalem) referring to?

    • Sierra Archuleta

      Hi Martha,
      Station 1 is most tied to Palm Sunday John 12:12-19.
