How to play
Print a Bible verse and cut it into pieces of about two words each. Place all pieces against one wall and have the group stand at the opposite wall. One at a time, participants run to collect a piece and bring it back. The team works together to reassemble the verse. For multiple teams, prepare a separate set of pieces per team. First team to reassemble and read the verse aloud wins.
