New Testament Scripture-Story Grab Bag

By Corliss Clayton

To play this scripture-story game, remove pages 24–25 from the magazine. Glue them onto lightweight cardboard; let dry. Cut out the picture cards and put them into a small, sturdy bag. Have the first player pick one card from the grab bag without peeking and tell which New Testament story* the card reminds him or her of. There are no wrong answers, but the player must explain why the card reminds him or her of that story. For example, the money card might remind you of the widow’s mite, the parable of the talents, money changers in the temple, or something else. If the player can’t think of a story, the other players may help. If no one can think of a story, look up the card’s word in the Topical Guide at the back of the Bible and find a story about it.
