For example, Anyone who has a pet, Anyone who is wearing jeans, Anyone who has a brother or sister, Anyone wearing the color purple. If the persons statement applies to someone sitting in the circle, that person has to move from his or her seat and sit in a different chair.

How to Play the Memory Game: Bigger age group


1. Separate everyone into teams of 3. Give each team a piece of paper and pen. The object of the game is to remember as many items from the Powerpoint as possible as a group, within 3 minutes. For this first round, there is no talking. Show the second slide. 2. After 3 minutes, click Enter to go to the blank slide. 3. Have each team collaborate on what items they remember and have them list them down a piece of paper. Give them a couple of minutes to do this. 4. Afterwards, ask everyone to stop writing. Each correct item that they write on the paper is worth 2 points. Name the items from the list aloud. 5. After naming the items, ask all the teams how many points they received. Next, the teams will complete the game again with the next slide, with exception that all the teams are allowed to talk and collaborate. Go onto the fourth slide and give the teams about 3 minutes to talk and try to remember all the items. 6. Afterwards, go to the blank slide and have all the teams write down what they remember. After 5 minutes, name the items in the List #2. Each correct item will be 1 point. Whoever has the most points wins the game.

Top Five Countdown.


Select a category, such as "Times to Pray." Then write the top five choices for that category on separate pieces of paper. For example, the top five choices for the category "Times to Pray" could be morning, bedtime, before meals, before a trip, before a test. Tape the top five choices to the wall, with the writing facing the wall. Assign points to each of the choices, with the top choice being assigned the most points. For example, the fifth choice could be assigned five points while the first choice could be assigned twenty-five points. Divide the class into two groups. Ask one of the groups to name a choice they believe would be in the Top Five. If the group guesses correctly, turn the paper around to show the choice and the points assigned to that choice. That group gets the points assigned to that choice and continues to guess until it guesses wrong three times. Then the other group takes a turn. Use several different categories. Examples include Names to call God when you pray, Good things to say about God when you pray, Times to pray, Places to pray, Positions for prayer, Things to ask for in prayer, Ways to honor Jesus, Reasons to honor Jesus, Foods or Drinks of the Bible, Places Jesus visited.
