Lightning Bolt

This game is great for all ages 

modifications for younger students included

Lightning Bolt is my version of a game by Ed Dunlop (Lightning Strike) in his book Mouse on a Mission.  If making Bible review games is daunting to you, I highly recommend his book.  It has printables and detailed instructions for many games.  Not every single game is current or necessarily useable (overhead games are pretty obsolete nowadays), but there are enough good ones to make it worth the purchase for a newbie to review games.

Game construction

Each circle has a storm cloud on the face side and either points or a lightening bolt on the back side.  Points range from 20-100.  There are 2 100-point cards, 2 80-point cards, 4 60-point cards, 5 40-point cards, 6 20-point cards, and 6 lightning bolts for a total of 25 circle cards.  Print 25 circles with a storm cloud and 25 point/lightning bolt circles on card stock paper.  Cut out the circles and glue a point or lightning card to the back of a storm card (both face out).  Laminate or use contact paper to extend the life of the game.  (If there is a Mardel's bookstore or a teacher supply store in your area they usually offer very good prices on lamination.)

Gameplay

The child who answers the review question correctly comes to the front to play the game.  They can choose up to 3 circles per turn.  The circle they choose is turned over to reveal how many points they win.  The points are added up after their 3 selections and awarded to their team.  If in the gameplay the child finds a lightning bolt they lose any previous points for that turn, and their turn is over.  For example, if the first circle reveals 4o points and the second circle has a lightning bolt, the 40 points are lost and no more circles are chosen.
