“Heading West,” Friend, June 2007, 24–25
Heading West
Directions: Help the Saints in Nauvoo prepare for the trek west by collecting supplies. Use beans or coins as markers. Place all markers on the road marked Start. Let the youngest player go first by rolling a die to see how many squares to move. When you land on a square with a scripture, read that verse. Each verse will mention a number. That number indicates the supply category in the chart to the right. Roll again to determine how many points you get in that category. (Each player will need a piece of paper and a pencil to keep track of his or her points.) If you land on a numbered category square, roll again to see how many points you get in that category. If you land on a Free square, you can select any category. Roll to see how many points you get. Continue moving around the road until you have at least the number of points listed in the chart. When you have collected all the points, move your marker toward the temple. The game is over when all players arrive at the temple.
