Use this fun Sunday school game to teach kids bible verses to go along with the lesson or to reinforce the Sunday school lesson about the Fishers of Men. You can also teach the kids the song "I Will Make You Fishers of Men". It's a cute song for younger kids to learn especially when you use the motions.
First, you’ll need to prepare several bible verses to hang on the wall or to be printed out for the kids to see.
Gather theses supplies:
Write a number on the bible verses (ex: 1, 2, 3 ,4, and so on depending on how many verses you’ve prepared). Next, write a number on each of the fish to go along with the bible verses you've selected. Glue a magnet to the mouth of each fish. Attach the string to the stick to make a fishing pole. Add the paper clip to the bottom of the string to be the hook.
When a child catches a fish, the child will have to find the number on the fish and match it to the bible verse with the same number. They will say the verse two times and get back in line to catch another fish.
You could also print the bible verse on the back of the fish instead of a number.
If you have several helpers, this fishing game will go fast and the kids will be able to catch more fish and in turn say more verses.

Sunday School Game
First, you’ll need to prepare several bible verses to hang on the wall or to be printed out for the kids to see.
Gather theses supplies:
- 4 sticks or dowel rods
- 4 pieces of string (about 3 to 4 feet long depending on height of children)
- 8 small magnets
- 8 paper fish
- 4 paper clips
- pencil or pen
Write a number on the bible verses (ex: 1, 2, 3 ,4, and so on depending on how many verses you’ve prepared). Next, write a number on each of the fish to go along with the bible verses you've selected. Glue a magnet to the mouth of each fish. Attach the string to the stick to make a fishing pole. Add the paper clip to the bottom of the string to be the hook.
When a child catches a fish, the child will have to find the number on the fish and match it to the bible verse with the same number. They will say the verse two times and get back in line to catch another fish.

If you have several helpers, this fishing game will go fast and the kids will be able to catch more fish and in turn say more verses.
Tips:
- We try to use verses for this game that the children are familiar with but do not know by heart.
- Make the game more fun by hanging up a bed sheet in a doorway and let the kids fish over the sheet so they will not know which fish they will catch. Someone can sit on the other side to add the fish to the paper clip.
- Use other things besides fish like paper: boots, seas shells, sharks, bottles, a sunken ship, and so on. You can even add people to the line if you are teaching the Fishers of Men bible story.
