Instructions
1. In this game the objective is to be
the first to discard all of your cards.
The person who goes first must
discard his aces face down, the second
two’s, third, three’s… through king’s.
As the person places the cards down
they must announce the quantity of
cards being played (i.e. 2 aces, 1 two,
3 threes, etc.) If a person doesn’t have
a card of the value he/ she is
supposed to play, then he/ she bluffs.
A person may also bluff at any time by
including additional cards of another
value in with the cards of the correct
value they are playing. For example a
person may only have two aces, but
includes a six and calls out “three
aces.”

2. At any time a player may shout
“I doubt it.” The person that just
played cards must turn them over
and reveal them. If the revealed
cards were a bluff and not 100%
what they were claimed to be, the
player picks up the entire discard
pile. If he/ she was telling the
truth, then the person who yelled
“I doubt it” must pick up the
entire discard pile.
3. The game continues until one
player runs out of cards.

Discussion
1. What is the primary objective of this
game? What are some of our objectives
in life? What does winning mean to
you?
2. What type of person is best at this
game? Did anyone in this game get a
reputation for dishonesty or for
integrity? What reputation do you have
with others? How did you get that
reputation?
3. What elements of this game caused
you to lie, misrepresent the truth, or
stretch the truth? What things tempt
you be less than honest in real life?
What things tempt you to act against
your normal character?

4. Are you known for your honesty,
for your integrity? What actions in
life build / destroy a persons
character / reputation? Why is a
good reputation important? How
does our reputation affect our
testimony?
5. Is TRUTH flexible? Why or why
not? Is there such a thing as
absolute truth? Why or why not?

Application
1. Stretching the TRUTH: How
often in life do we try to gain
benefit by either stretching the
truth or by an outright lie. How
many times do we sacrifice
honesty and integrity to get
ahead of others in the game of
life. While in this game we
might get away with it,
Scripture tells us that a final
judgement awaits us all and
everything will be revealed. Are
you ready for Judgement Day.

2. DOUBTS: All of us have
doubts about God at one time
or another, but that doesn’t
mean we give up. We make
choices the best we can not
knowing what the next card in
life holds for us. But we do
know that God never bluffs. He
always is true. And he wants us
to be victorious, not in a card
game but in life.

Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
