Sunday Box:

Pencil Spin

This is a fun game for family home evening, or you can add it to your Sunday Box (see Liahona, June 2006, F16).

Instructions

Cut out each square.
Place the squares in a paper bag, close the bag, and shake it to mix them up.
Have the players sit in a circle on the floor.
Place a pencil in the center of the circle, and choose a player to spin the pencil. When the pencil stops, the person it points to draws one square from the paper bag and answers the question or does what it says. Then it is his or her turn to spin the pencil.
