Halloween Scripture Mastery Activity


 

Teams: Divide group into four teams. Points will be earned for guessing the Scripture Mastery.
 

Score Sheet: Each team will be given a score sheet with 25 numbered spaces for the references in the Basement Search. The score sheet will also have 25 numbered keywords and spaces the page numbers.
 

Winner: The team with the highest score will be given a bag of Halloween candy to share. 
 

Refreshments: hot spiced cider and donuts or pumpkin bread.
 

Bats in the Basement: Each team will be given 5 minutes to search the basement for Scripture Mastery clues using flashlights. 25 black construction paper bats will be hidden in the darkened basement. Each bat will have a Scripture Mastery Rhyme and a number. The team will write down the reference in the space by the corresponding number.
 

Bobbing for donuts: Suspend mini donuts from string. The string is first threaded through a cardboard circle with a # written on it that will be hidden by the donut. The circle will help secure the donut. Each player must eat his donut without using his or her hands. They will be able to see the # and then find the corresponding key word on their score sheet.  [Alternate method:  tie the mini-donuts to an overhead string by threading yarn thru the donut hole. After they eat the donut they pull a number from a container to determine which keyword to use from their score sheet.] The team must then find the Scripture Mastery verse and write down the page number.  
 

Dem Bones: Three Scripture Mastery verses will be divided into ten phrases each. Each phrase will be attached to a bone. The object is to separate the bones and arrange the Scripture Mastery verses in the correct order.
