SEEK — Jesus Edition
Resources & Research
“What’s unique about SEEK is that it exclusively focuses on the character of Jesus and events surrounding his life and ministry,” say Bettrys Lowe and Amy Norman on the latest St Bart’s Kids discipleship resource
SEEK is the latest discipleship resource St Bart’s Kids has developed for families.
SEEK is a fast-paced observation game for the whole family, where the aim is to be the first to find the one matching picture between any two cards.
Similar to the commercial game Spot It!, the game includes a set of cards featuring different combinations of images. Any two cards will always have one matching image, and each player aims to be the first to find the match. It is a game of speed and observation and can get quite competitive!

Each of the 57 different pictures used in the game connect directly with one or more of the Gospels and have been hand-drawn by one of the St Bart’s, Toowoomba team members.

Over the years we have developed a bank of images that we use within our Children’s Ministry programmes on Sundays, so the children are very familiar with recognising many of the different characters or symbols. Even the youngest children who are not yet reading, can help retell or sequence different Bible stories, with the help of these pictures.
SEEK was designed to be a fun way for households or families to engage with each other whilst being continually reminded of the many characters, events and stories of Jesus. Each card features eight different images, so as you play, your eyes are continually scanning each of those pictures, as well as those on another card you are trying to find a match. In playing even just one round of SEEK, it is impossible not to see and be reminded of who Jesus is and all that he has done. To see all the images, visit the St Bart’s, Toowoomba website.
We love looking for ways to provide families with resources that will be useful in helping disciple children. Recognising that family life can be busy, where possible we like to piggy-back on some of the ways families might engage with everyday rhythms or activities.

The circular cards create a smooth and fun playing experience, and the compact storage tin protects your cards and makes them easily transportable. SEEK is a great game to pull out at a party, on a long drive, while waiting for your meal when dining out, or any number of other occasions. Because SEEK is based purely on graphic images, it is a game that even the youngest members of your family can enjoy.
“It’s great to have a game we could play with our grandchildren and at the same time discuss the Christian symbols,” says grand-father Rob.
SEEK has been created by St Bart’s Kids to help engage children with key Bible stories about Jesus. It can be used to reinforce specific Gospel-centred lessons, as a springboard for discussion, or just for fun! And with multiple ways to play, players are unlikely to get bored any time soon.
