Stripling Warriors Game
Directions
To play this game, remove pages 24–25 from the magazine and mount them on cardboard (optional). You will need a different-color small button for each stripling-warrior player (or team), and a die. Stripling warriors take turns rolling the die and moving that number of spaces on the board. When a warrior lands on a space with writing, he/she must read what it says aloud, then obey the directions or answer the question. Then the scripture reference should be looked up and read aloud. If the answer to the question was correct, the warrior gets another turn; there is no penalty for an incorrect answer. After a warrior reaches VICTORY, he/she uses his/her future turns to help the warrior farthest away, until all the stripling warriors have achieved VICTORY.
