To play you will need some Bocce balls (Croquet balls work great) and a single golf ball. You will need to adjust this game depending on the size of your class. Divide your class into 3 teams . Place 3 chairs facing a wall (10-15 feet is good) with the middle chair having 2 balls on it and the other two chairs with only one ball on them. A scripture mastery clue is given and the first team to find the scripture gets to have the middle chair from where they will throw first in the round, and last. The teacher places “the Jack” (golf ball) between the chairs and the back wall. The players try to get their bocce ball as close to the Jack as they can. After all have thrown from their chairs, the team with their ball closest gets a point. It is okay if the balls hit or touch the Jack. It is also okay if the back wall is used. This game also works best on a carpeted floor. If the weather is good, it can also be played outside.
