Matching Game!

Kids have SOOO much fun with this! To play the game, you can divide your Primary: Boys vs. Girls or Left side vs. Right side etc...This is also fun for Sharing Time lessons

RULES:
1. no shouting out answers.
2. REVERENCE! This is a "TEAM" game. If the one up at the board doesn't know the answer and someone on the team does, the team member can raise their hand and the player can pick that person to advise the best possible match using a soft voice. If the team member SHOUTS the answer out, the turn will be given to the opposing team...who in many cases will make the match. It's a tough lesson in reverence, but it is a rule quickly learnt.

How this board was made: This is a tri-fold display board with laminated mix n' match scrapbook paper attached to the board with long brads.

2 matching phrases from a song are taped on the reverse side of the scrapbook paper.

For example under the fall leaves paper, I'll put "I am a child of God" and then the strawberry paper I'll tape "And He has sent me here"

When a MATCH is MADE, the Primary children sing the song!

This is great fun and a great way to challenge your Primary kids knowledge of the song lyrics. For Jr. Primary, I sing or their team/teachers SING the phrases or clues out loud.

Have FUN!!!
