New Testament ABC’s

By Janet Peterson

Preparation: Carefully open the staples, remove pages 24 and 25 from the magazine, then close the staples. Mount the pages on cardboard; cut off the calendar and use it separately. Cut out the letter squares and clue squares, then glue the corresponding squares back to back.

To Play: Any number of players may participate. Each player, in turn, picks a letter from the pile, reads the clue, and has two minutes to find the answer that begins with that letter in the New Testament. The person with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins.
