How to play:
• Participants work in pairs.
• Write down various teachings of Jesus Christ on slips of paper.
• Participant pairs take turns choosing a slip and acting out the teaching without speaking, while the rest of the group guesses which quote from the list.
• Discuss the teachings after each charade.
