My mom came up with this idea, so I will take zero credit for it. But I have to say, it's adorable. She did this a lot on week 5 or when someone couldn't come at the last minute and they didn't have a back up planned. It takes a little prep work, but it's a good result.
You need to break your primary into groups. Four or five will probably work best. You have two different sets of cards, they need to look different, either in color or size or something. One set of cards is going to have an adjective on it. It could say "goofy," for example (Other ones could be funny, wise, good, etc.). The other set has a noun on it. These might say, "Bishop (insert your Bishop or Branch Presidents name here)" or "Resurrection" or "Baptism."(she used names of people in the primary or bishopric, aspects of the gospel, or things they discussed in primary) Each group gets several cards with a noun on them to choose from. You choose one card on it from the adjective pile. So for example, lets say you chose the "goofy" card. Each group chooses which noun card they have that would best be described by that word. After each group chooses which card they want to use, whoever chose the adjective card gets to choose a winner. Whichever group gets rid of all their noun cards first, wins. If you want the game to go faster, you can have the person who chose the adjective card choose two winners, the best one that fits with the word and the funniest one.
For the cards, you could put the words on monkeys, elephants, or something else. I personally like the idea of using CTR shields. You can do large ones for the adjective cards and smaller ones for the noun cards. On the back you would have your word. If you wrote someones name you could put a picture of them for the kids that can't read. It may make it more fun for them.
Here is a link to a couple cute CTR shield print outs.
