Materials needed: hymnals (or "hymn books," however you want to call them)

Object: Open the hymnal to the exact hymn number that's been called.

Game Play: You and your cellmate each hold a hymnal. You each take turns calling out (whispering) a hymn number, then both of you try to open your hymnals to that exact hymn number. The difference between the number called and the number you opened to is your score for that turn, so it's like golf in that the lowest score wins. No peeking allowed--this is church, after all. Getting a "hole-in-one" is harder than it looks, considering most hymnals don't have page counts ending in nice, round numbers like 300. Even if a hymnal did have exactly 300 pages, the dadburned index can throw off your eyeball estimate.

If you want to keep a running score, better grab a pencil & paper. If Mom & Dad won't let you use the hymnals for an activity more reverent than singing, try the next game.
