What's Wrong?
By Yulonda Smith
My husband and I play a game we call 'What's Wrong?' with a mixed-aged Sunday school class. We take 12 popular Scriptures (you could use more depending on the amount of time you have, we only have one hour). We misspelled names, omitted one word, switched words, added words, etc., to each Scripture verse. We typed them onto index cards and numbered them. We divide the class into groups and give them 40 minutes to find what is wrong with the Scriptures. Then they must correct them. For extra points, tell them to state where the Scripture comes from. Leave one or two correct just to throw them off. They must only work on one at a time.
It was fun and we learned so much. There were so many Scriptures that we often misquote. We learned the importance of every word in God's word! Allow 10 to 15 minutes for discussion.
PS. Make sure everyone has the same type of Bible and make sure you have an answer key.
