3 Fun Faith-filled Family Nights

Movie Night is always a hit in our house. Giant Nacho Night is also a favorite. Try-a-New-Game Night is good, too. But wouldn’t it be fun to make your weekly family night focus on God’s Word while still having a blast with your family?

Here are 3 super fun family nights that will also get your kids talking about God’s Word!

Pirate Scavenger Hunt

Lead your kids on a high-seas adventure to discover the treasure of God’s Word!

Supplies Needed:

  • pirate costumes (bandanas, temporary tattoos, and eye patches)
  • small items or stickers to give to kids at each scavenger hunt stop (see below)
  • a treasure map for each child (a piece of paper or small journal)
  • pirate accent (Cap’n Pete can help!)
  • pirate snacks (see below) 

Activity:

Using the following Scriptures, lead your kids to five different locations in your house. You could make up a little riddle to help them find their way, draw a map of the rooms in your house or simply make them read the verse as a clue and guess the spot! 

When they discover each location, read the verse again, give your child the item to place in his/her pirate journal or on the treasure map, and briefly talk about the Scripture. 

Lights
Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Item: sticker of a light bulb/sun/flashlight, tiny Christmas light bulb

Location: the attic where your Christmas lights are, your flashlight stash, etc.

Honey 

Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

Item: bumblebee sticker, Honey Nut Cheerio 

Location: the pantry or kitchen (make sure to let your kids taste some honey!)

Gold 

Psalm 119:72 “The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.”

Item: plastic gold doubloon, sparkly gold sticky craft foam

Location: jewelry box, piggy bank, etc.

Seed 

Luke 8:11, 15 “The seed is the word of God . . . the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.”

Item: sunflower seed, popcorn, peppercorn, etc.

Location: outside in the garden, near a birdhouse, etc.

Sword

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Item: plastic sword food pick, sticker of a sword

Location: um . . . unless you have a sword cabinet, just anywhere!

End the night with some oranges to ward off scurvy and some chocolate coins (or any chocolate covered in gold foil) to celebrate the treasure of God’s Word!

Additional, optional ideas: Make Treasure Stones, read a God-centered Pirate Book or watch a fun Pirate Movie!

Big Kid idea: You could turn this into a photo scavenger hunt and drive them all over town trying to find locations to take a photo to go with each verse (the light section at Home Depot, an ice cream shop with honey-flavored ice cream, a garden, a bank or jewelry store, etc.). Then, print the pictures off and display them or put them in a journal!
