Sunday Box:
Fishing for Old Testament Facts

To make this game to add to your Sunday Box (see Friend, June 2006, 18) or for family home evening, you will need glue, scissors, a magnet, wire paper clips, a string 39 inches (1 m) long, and a stick short enough to fit into the Sunday Box.

1. To make a fishing pole, tie one end of the string to the stick and the other end to the magnet.

2. Glue these two pages to heavy paper, and cut out the fish. Attach a paper clip to the nose of each fish.

3. Scatter fish in your empty Sunday Box or in another box (for your fishpond). Take turns catching the fish and answering the questions. If the player doesn’t know the answer or the answer is incorrect, he or she looks up the scripture reference to find the correct answer.

4. On the three blank fish you can write your own Old Testament questions or other gospel questions. You can also make additional fish for your fishpond.
