The Match Game (Newlywed Game)

Divide the Primary into two groups. You can use two or more of the children to help. You'll need score keepers and someone to read the statements.

Each team member needs to o have up to ten small pieces of paper and a pencil. Each team member will write his response independently. When everyone has written down their response, the answers are then compared. Five points are given for each matching answer.

For example. the reader says, "A prophet from the Old Testament." If two members of team #1 writes, "Moses" team #1 has a match and is given five points. If three give the same answer, they would have two matches and they would receive ten points.

Following is a list of statements to be matched. Remember, there are no fixed answers. Ask each one to write down that comes to his mind as he hears each statement.

1. An important thing to do each day
2. Something all happy men have
3. Another name for Satan
4. Something our Heavenly Father gave us to help us grow
5. The most important meeting of the church
