Beatitudes game

Study the Beatitudes in Matthew and Luke with older youth, discussing the differences between the two. There are four more Beatitudes in Matthew than in Luke; and while Luke talks about the poor, Matthew talks about the poor in spirit. Divide the kids into two teams and provide a buzzer for each team.

Read trivia questions aloud pertaining to the differences between the two versions of the Beatitudes. Each team rings their buzzer when they have an answer and earns a point for a correct answer. Incorrect answers result in losing a point. The team with the most points after all the questions are answered is the winner.

Young children love the idea of whispering secrets to one another. The Beatitudes turn conventional wisdom about success and goodness upside down; so they are like secrets that Jesus gave followers to hold onto when the going gets tough.

This variation on the game of bingo requires children to answer questions about the Beatitudes in order to cover spaces on their bingo boards.

The teacher should provide each child with a bingo board, made up of a grid of squares containing the answers to a list of questions based on the Beatitudes. For example, questions could include "What will those who are merciful receive? The teacher should then read one of the questions and have the children look at their boards and try to figure out which of the squares may have the correct answer.

Discussing their suggestions can help them to better understand the Beatitudes as they figure out the correct answer. Once the correct answer is revealed, all children with that answer on their bingo boards should cover it with a token. The first child to get a full row of tokens wins.
