Make enough copies of the paragraph written below so each person can have one. Tell the students to look carefully in the paragraph and find the names of 16 books of the Bible. As they find each name, underline or circle it.

Here is the paragraph:

Students begin with a stick of gum and go from house to house asking for something “bigger and better” than the current object. Make sure the homeowners know they will NOT be getting their item back because it will be traded at the next stop! At the end of a pre-determined time limit, everyone returns to the meeting place with their final object covered with a sheet. One by one each team reveals their “biggest and best” object and then have some “judges” (possibly use some adult sponsors) decide who wins the prize. End the meeting by discussing HEAVEN which is the “biggest and best” of all! For refreshments serve Heavenly Hash Ice Cream or Angel Food Cake.

Materials needed are a trash bag and a few balloons. Set up a volleyball net and form teams, but instead of using a volleyball you use the trash bag filled with balloons. Seal the end of the bag with duct tape. Basic volleyball rules apply except that a person may hit the ball up to 6 times per side, and they can’t use their hands or arms. They only use their head and feet. 

Give each person a copy of the following on a piece of paper and a pen. Give them a certain amount of time (three minutes or so) to find a different person for each of the “animal trivialities” listed. When they find a person, have them place their initials in the blank. If possible, try not to use an individual more than once.
