Setting up the Game:
 
Here's a game that you can make to play with your friends.  You need a dice, a score pad and pencil, printed out parts of the game and printed out lists of the Bible Quiz questions (see below) for both teams (if they are too easy, make your own quiz lists).
 
Print out the soccer field, goals and soccer ball onto thin card.  Cut out the two goals and the soccer ball.  Fold the side flaps of the goals forwards and bend up the flaps at the bottom.  Fold the dotted line of the central part base, and glue the side flaps to this to make a completed goal.  Then glue a goal onto each end of the soccer field card.
 
Now find one or more friends and you are ready to play!
 
Playing the Game:
 
Choose who is going to be on each team.  Place the football at the middle of the field.  To start, Team “A” asks Team “B” a question from their quiz list.  If Team “B” answers correctly, they can then throw the dice and make a move according the list below.
 
If no goal is scored, Team “B” then has a chance to ask a question to Team “A”.  If Team “A” answers correctly, they can then throw the dice and make a move according the list.
 
Play continues with each team asking a question in turn, until a goal is scored.  The score is noted on the Score Pad and play restarts with the football placed at the centre of the field.
 
Soccer Moves:
 
Each space on the field counts as one move.  An additional move is necessary from the last space into the goal.  If a team has answered correctly and thrown the dice, they will make one of the following moves:
 

1  - The team can move their ball one space towards the opposing team's goal.
 
3  - You made a foul!  The opposite team can then take a penalty kick by throwing the dice
        and making the appropriate move.
 
6  - Goal!  You score a goal immediately from wherever the ball is on the field at that moment.
 
2, 4 or 5  - You missed at shot!  The ball stays where it is on the field and is not moved.

The Winning Team:
 
The team with the most goals at the end of the game is the winner!
