Musical Chairs Creation Game by Heather

This guest post is by Heather and is a result of an assignment for Ancient Civilizations/Bible.  She was asked to design a game that would help children learn the days of Creation.  Here is her guest post:

First, prepare for the game by getting the number of chairs needed for the classical game of musical chairs.  Put a piece of paper underneath each chair with three questions on it (see suggestions for the questions below).  Put numbers on each chair.  Make smaller numbers and put them in a bucket. When the music stops and a person is left not having a chair, draw a number from the bucket that will match the number on one of the chiars.  That person has to get the piece of paper from under their seat and give it to the teacher (who will know the answers).  The teacher will ask these two children (the one who is left without a seat and the person whose number was drawn) the questions on the paper about one of the days of Creation. You can use each day of Creation more than once but you can not use questions a second time.  The two children will race against each other to give the answer first.  Whoever gets more answers correct gets to stay in the game and the other child is out.  At the end of the game, the last two people left will be asked several questions about all the days of Creation (not just one) and the one who gets the most right is the winner of the game. 

This idea can be used for other stories in the Bible.
