Here’s what you need:
Pieces of paper each with a scripture mastery reference (students can prepare these).
Tape
A pair of rolled socks (or soft Nerf ball) (I used dry splash balls) (or sponge balls)
Here’s how to prepare:
Remove all breakable items from your classroom
Tape the scripture mastery references around the room (students can help)
Set chairs up for the number of teams you’ll have
Explain the game, and then assign students into teams
Hand a pair of rolled socks to one member on each team
Here’s how to play:
The game host (usually the teacher) gives a scripture mastery clue
All students on each team are free to give the answer to the member of their team who has the socks
The student with the socks tries to have their socks touch the correct scripture mastery reference before any other team
Before the next round begins the socks are given to another student on the same team
Some additional information…
Students may throw, lob, or carry their socks in an effort to touch the correct reference
Students are not penalized if their socks touch incorrect scripture mastery pictures (or miss completely)
One point is awarded to the team whose sock first touches the correct paper
Only the “designated student” may touch their socks during that round. For example, if John throws his pair of socks at a picture but misses, Jane cannot pick up the socks and try to hit the correct picture.
You can play with all 25 scripture mastery scriptures or any smaller number
