Countdown (aka Golf)

Submitted by: Kelly Miller
Added: September 23, 2008
Duration: 5-10 minutes

Each student gets a piece of paper numbered 1-25. You need to begin counting 1-25. [Decrease the time as you go, until they are all around 10-15 seconds.] Give the key word and start counting. They write down whatever number you are on when they find their scripture. [Or you can hold up index cards with numbers written on them if counting out loud is too disturbing.] This is a "beat yourself" kind of game...no prizes for the winner.
