Journey to the Promised Land Game

By Laura Blum

Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise (1 Ne. 2:20).

Directions: To play this game, you will need a small button of a different color for each player (or team), and one die. All players begin at the square marked START. When it is your turn, roll the die and move that number of spaces in the direction of the small arrows. If you land on a square with a message, read the words on your square out loud, then look up the scripture and read that, too. If your square has a large arrow, move your button to where the arrow points. The game is over only when all players have reached “The Promised Land.”
