From the publisher:

Be sure to shine your shoes for Zone Conference and grab the basketball for P-Day. Watch out for barking dogs as you go tracting and build your muscles riding a bicycle. Mission Prep is a zany, fun filled missionary themed game for the whole family. It's simple: draw a card, do what it says and let the laughter flow. Collect enough cards and you win! With 80 unique cards the game is always changing. Will you answer the call?

Review:

Mission Prep is a family friendly party game for two or more players. In the game a player will be drawing a card from the face down deck and doing what the card asks. If the player is successful in completing the task they keep the card if not they don't. Play continues with the next player. The first player to collect ten cards wins the game!!!

The cards include tasks like "Speak in another language until your next turn. If you don't know another language, then make one up. Do not forget and you will get this card" and "Quote any scripture from memory with minimal mistakes and you get this card" and "Sing from memory, "Book of Mormon Stories" with minimal mistakes and you get this card".

Yep, it is that simple yet so much fun. We played it with two of our boys (5 and 7) and we had a blast. There are some tasks that the little ones (and old ones for that matter) weren't able to complete, but there are plenty which they could. 

This is a great game for a FHE activity that is fun while still teaching and could be used for any lesson topic.
