10 Bible Scavenger Hunt Riddles

Dated By

If you need ideas for fun activities to do with a church youth group, here are 10 Bible scavenger hunt riddles for kids.

There’s also a free printable worksheet you can download and use – keep reading for more details.

Here’s how it works:

10 Bible Scavenger Hunt Riddles

Resources

  • Riddle worksheet (see below)
  • Post-it notes
  • Pens

Preparation

Write down the names of people from the Bible listed below on post-it notes and stick them around the room where you’ll be playing this church scavenger hunt.

If you’ll only have a handful of kids in the youth group, you could write out each name on several different post-its. That way, each kid can pick up a copy of the post-it, but this isn’t necessary if it’ll take too long to do.

  1. David
  2. Adam
  3. Zaccheus
  4. Noah
  5. Moses
  6. Jonah
  7. Daniel
  8. John The Baptist
  9. Paul
  10. Peter

Rules

Give each of the kids a copy of the worksheet and a pen. Have them look around the room for the post-it notes with names of characters from scripture.

They then need to match up each name with one of the rhyming riddles describing that person.

Winner

The first person to correctly match up all ten names with the correct riddle description.

1. David

With a rock
And with a sling
He killed a giant
And became a king

2. Adam

This man was created
Out of the earth
Only person of whom
A woman didn’t give birth

3. Zaccheus

He was a short man
Jesus he wanted to see
And so he decided
To climb a sycamore tree

4. Noah

He lived on a boat
As the water started to rise
Looking at him
There were thousands of eyes

5. Moses

This guy built up courage
To go to Pharoah
And said to the leader
“Let my people go”

6. Jonah

Going to Nineveh was something
He didn’t wish to do
The person who ended up
In a fish’s belly was who?

7. Daniel

This man was set up
By over 100 men
And then he was thrown
Into a lions’ den

8. John The Baptist

Lived in the wilderness
On locusts and honey he fed
Eventually he died
After losing his head

9. Paul

Became a follower of Jesus
As to Damascus he went
He wrote half the books
In the New Testament

10. Peter

I don’t know him, I don’t know him
I don’t know him he said
Yet the early church
Is who he led
