Temple Preparation Game

By Marlene Thomas

Instructions: This game will help remind you of some things you need to do before you go to the temple. Carefully remove these pages from the magazine. Mount them on lightweight cardboard. Cut out the game board and the game pieces. On a separate sheet of paper, make an additional set of game pieces. Put one set of game pieces in a small sack.

Randomly put the other set of game pieces on the game board, covering each square. Use buttons, beans, or pieces of paper as markers. Take turns drawing game pieces from the sack, then placing the markers in the matching squares. A player wins by finishing any row of markers across, down, or diagonally. The row may include your own or other players’ markers. If more than three people want to play, you may need to make additional copies of the board and game pieces.
