Latter-day Prophets Matching Game

By Jane McBride Choate

Heavenly Father has blessed us with prophets to lead us in these latter days. President Gordon B. Hinckley is the fifteenth prophet of the Church. You can play this matching game in family home evening to learn something about each of these prophets.

Instructions: Remove pages 46–47 and mount them on lightweight cardboard. Cut out the pictures of the prophets and the descriptions, then place them faceup. A player picks a prophet, then matches it with a description (others can help, if needed). Repeat until all the prophets have been selected.

1. Joseph Smith	2. Brigham Young	3. John Taylor
4. Wilford Woodruff	5. Lorenzo Snow	6. Joseph F. Smith
7. Heber J. Grant	8. George Albert Smith	9. David O. McKay
10. Joseph Fielding Smith	11. Harold B. Lee	12. Spencer W. Kimball
13. Ezra Taft Benson	14. Howard W. Hunter	15. Gordon B. Hinckley
