Set Up
Draw a grid on a chalk board or poster board with six squares across and six squares down. At the top of each row write in the categories listed below. Number below each category 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. These are the points the players will gather for answering the questions. The first question in each category receives 10 points. The second question, 20 points. The third question 30 points, and so on.
CATEGORIES: HEROES * EASTER * BIBLE FACTS * NUMBERS * OLD TESTAMENT MEN * PLACES
How To Play
Divide class into two teams. Players select a captain for their team. The captain must answer for the whole team. However, all the players on a team must discuss the answer before the captain answers for them. Flip a coin to see which team will go first. 'Team One' chooses a category and how many points they will 'go for'. If they answer correctly, they receive the number of points for that question, and team two takes their turn. If they answer incorrectly, 'Team Two' may try to answer. If they are correct, they receive the points. 'Team Two' then takes their turn, even if they answered 'Team One's question after 'Team One' was unable to. Play continues back and forth until all the questions are answered.
Final Jeopardy
Some of the categories have six or seven questions. You may use these questions to play 'Final Jeopardy'. You might even allow the players to pick the Final Jeopardy category and to decide how many points they will play for. If they miss the answer to their question, they also lose the number of points they were 'playing for'.
LET'S PLAY BIBLE JEOPARDY!

2. Who was the wisest man in the Bible? He asked God for an understanding mind instead of money, power, or a long life. God granted him a wise mind, as well as money, power, and a long life. (Solomon)
3. Who were the most fireproof men in the Bible? Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, erected a golden idol. These three men refused to worship it. The angry king had them thrown into a fiery furnace. It was heated to seven times its normal temperature. However, God protected them, and they did not burn. (Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego.)
4. This man was 'full of faith and power.' He performed 'great wonders and signs among the people.' One day he preached a sermon, and was stoned to death for it. He is the first Christian martyr. (Stephen).

EASTER
1. Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of Passover. As Jesus rode into the city, many people came out to greet Him. They laid their garments on the road, waved palm tree branches, and called out to him, 'Hosanna!'. What do we call this day? (Palm Sunday)
2. What was the name of the disciple that betrayed Jesus in the garden with a kiss? (Judas Iscariot)

When Mary Magdalene and the other women arrived there, the stone had been rolled away and Jesus' body was gone. Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell the disciples that He would see them soon.)

2. The Bible uses this number to teach that God is one, and that He is the only God. Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the Father are one. (The number 1)

4. This is the number of tribes of Israel and the number of disciples. (The number 12).
5. This is the number given to the beast in Revelation 13:18. The author of Revelation says this beast is powerful, deceitful, and able to perform miracles, but he does not reveal his identity. (The number is 666).

This happened to whom? (Gideon) Judges 6:36-40.
PLACES
1. What is the city on the hill? It is also called the city of peace. It sat on Palestine's high mountain ridge about 2,500 feet above sea level. It was not good for farming and did not have enough water, but it did lay in the path of a major trade route. (Jerusalem)
