Prep: Choose as many SMs as there are students in the class. Divide each SM scripture into 8 parts, writing each phrase part onto a different card (you can use blank 3X5s turned vertical). Let the students help make the cards, each taking a different SM and writing pieces of it onto 8 cards. At the top, right corner of each card, place a key word to represent that SM….

Place all of the game cards on the board in pairs (either one above the other or side-by-side). (The written side in view). None of the card pairs should…
