How to play
Cut the memory verse into jigsaw pieces, roll each up, and place one inside each balloon. Inflate and group balloons by team. Divide into teams of about six. Teams line up behind a throwing line. One at a time, players throw a dart at their balloon cluster, and a hit means they retrieve the puzzle piece inside. If they miss, they return and the next player tries. First team to collect all pieces and reassemble the verse wins. Darts are dangerous, so prioritise safety and supervision at all times.
