How to play
Select a Bible passage and read it aloud together, but it cannot be boring. Encourage the group to read with inflection and imagination, as if they are right where the passage is taking place. Make up voices for different characters, speed up during exciting moments, and slow down for meaningful ones. For an extra challenge, encourage the group to memorise the passage afterward.
