Pass a note to the organist asking whether he/she plays requests.

organ

See if a yawn really is contagious.

Slap your neighbor. See if they turn the other cheek. If not, raise your hand and tell the preacher.

marbles

Sit in the back row and roll a handful of marbles under the pews ahead of you.
After the service, credit yourself with 10 points for every marble that made it to the front.

Devise ways of climbing into the balcony without using the stairs.

Listen for your preacher to use a word beginning with 'A' then 'B' and so on through the alphabet.

paper airplane

Using church bulletins or visitor cards for raw materials, design, test and modify a collection of paper airplanes.

By unobtrusively drawing your arms up into your sleeves, turn your shirt around backwards.

pew

Start from the back of the church and try to crawl all the way to the front, under the pews, without being noticed.

Try to indicate to the minister that his fly is undone.

restroom sign

Raise your hand and ask for permission to go to the rest room.

Try to raise one eyebrow.

nose smiley

Whip out a hankie and blow your nose. Vary the pressure exerted on your nostrils and trumpet out a rendition of your favorite hymn.

Crack your knuckles.

thumbs

Twiddle your thumbs.

Twiddle your neighbor's thumbs.

Wiggle your ears so that the people behind you will notice.

chewing gum

Chew gum; if the sermon goes on for more than 15 minutes, start blowing bubbles.
