Bible Sword Drill Verses

There’s something electric about a room full of kids flipping through their Bibles, pages rustling like holy thunder as they race to find God’s Word. Our Bible Sword Drill invites children and teens to sharpen their Scripture skills while having a blast. It’s fast, fun, faith-building, and a creative way to help young hearts hide God’s Word deep within them.

During this activity, participants listen for a verse reference and compete to find it first. Every round strengthens their confidence navigating Scripture, recognizing books of the Bible, and memorizing important passages. From familiar favorites like John 3:16 to tiny treasures tucked in books like Jude or Haggai, each drill becomes a joyful pursuit of truth.

Whether you’re using this for homeschool, youth group, children’s ministry, or a family devotion night, a Sword Drill turns learning into a lively adventure. No pressure, no trophies, just Scripture, smiles, and a whole lot of excitement as we teach the next generation to wield the Word with confidence.
