I used to play the dot game every week at church. How did you pass the time?

en.wikipedia.orgOh shit! The dot game saved me many a sunday...My other stay-sane strategy was coloring on the programs. I would use whatever pencil or crayon I had lying around to shade in and color the picture on the front...then we'd fill in all the o's and d's with pencil and draw little spiderwebs connecting all the letters...
Damn, church sucks.

Sleep.

Second this. Thought having kids would help keep me awake. I was wrong.
Some how my body knew "oh you are at church. Good night"!

Tank War (take a piece of paper, each player draws tanks and guys on each of their sides, then take turns folding the paper in half and shoving your pencil through the paper. if it hit a guy after you unfolded, then he's dead. tanks took 3 hits to kill).

I am having MAJOR stake conference flashbacks right now.

Figuring out how I'd fight terrorists if they broke in through any opening. Shit would be badass

I slept through the vast majority of sacrament meetings, even as a little kid.

I would play that dot game with my brother pretty much every week until he graduated high school and left for college. I loved that dot game. Or, if my dad was in town, I would eat the candy he brought in in his suit jacket.
Once my brother graduated, though, I would mostly draw on the programs, until my mom got mad, and told me I was too old. Then I started daydreaming, and thinking about what I needed to do that week.

I always tried to sleep, but my family always did their best to keep me awake, much to my irritation.

I hang my head in shame...I listened. Probably why it took me so long to get OUT.

Dot game was the best. However iPad occupies my pew time now.

Testimony bingo anyone? It's pretty self explanatory for anyone who's sat through those meetings.

Almost every week, dots and boxes.

HOLY SHIT. I forgot about the dot game. Used to play it every week with my brother when I was a kid sitting on those hard-ass wood benches. My dad, sweetheart that he was, always used to put his head on the railing and if he started snoring we would nudge him. LOL.
There is also the hymn-book page number game. You know, turn to page 20. Then you do that and on page 20 it says turn to page 99, etc etc etc.
We had a slightly different hymn-book game it consisted of my brother and I adding "in bed" to the end of every song title and my dad telling us to shut up and listen to the speakers
That's some crazy Goosebumps level shit right there
