by: Michelle Birkinsha We played a game originally called "Sock-it to the
Scriptures". The scripture game goes like this: you make up a list of 30 or so
questions about the scriptures and put each answer on a 8 1/2 X 11 paper. Write out a
bunch of close but wrong answers, too. Tape these up on the walls of one room. Divide your
girls into two teams and give each team a rolled up sock. One girls from each
team is up at a time. When a question is read, the two girls have to locate the correct
answer and hit it with the sock. First sock to touch the paper gets the point. How much
team help is allowed is up to you.
We played this game but made up questions
about the standards of personal worthiness and taped those answers to the wall. My
counselor made up the questions and had some funny answers for them that made the game
even more fun. After playing this we all had a better idea what the standards were.
If only one team kept throwing their sock at the wrong answer, I would wait for the other
team to get the right answer, or if they were both stuck on the wrong answer, I would tell
them it was wrong and wait for the right answer to be hit. As soon as someone hits the
right answer, I said they were right and we went on to the next question. Usually, even if
the person with the sock went to the wrong answer, the rest of the team straightened them
out in a hurry. We kept score on the chalk board, one point for the team that was first to
hit the right answer.

We just did an activity in our Ward last Wednesday night and did a "Sock it to the
Standards" night. We've been trying to use those more this year. We took key words
from the Standards of Personal Worthiness and put them on colorful pieces of paper. There
were a few other words thrown in there (obvious words that were not a part of the
standards--they just served as "filler" words and added a few extra words to
look at). These were then taped all over the classroom we were using. The girls were
divided into two teams. There were two sets of colored socks rolled into a ball. One girl
from each team came to the center of the room (you might want to have the other girls sit
so they don't get hit). Our advisor then read the standard leaving out the word that was
on the balloon. The girls then looked around the room for the word or phrase they needed
and the first one to hit it with their sock ball got a point. The team with the most
points wins.
