How to play
Print and cut a Bible verse into four numbered pieces. Hide each piece at a different location and write a clue for each. Put the clue to location one in an envelope. Write the clue to the next location on the back of pieces two and three, and the finish location on the back of piece four. If using multiple teams, give each team a different order of locations so they can't follow each other. On 'Start!', teams open their envelope and race to collect all four pieces, then assemble the verse at the finish.
