Description
The original Magic Squares document by Janice Lee Griffith Tate is available at the old http://ldsces.org/ in the CES Conferences Section under Old Testament. Here's a link:

Problem is, the motions that go with the magic square are not described in the handout. I have a copy of one that a friend gave me, and I have created this handout that includes text to describe the actions.
You should also know that I have changed a couple of the original rhyming phrases to match the handout I received, notably:
Exodus 33
- OLD: "His face I see"
- NEW: "Face to face spake He"
- Why? Now includes a keyphrase from the verse, 'face to face.'
1 Samuel 26
- OLD: "His heart is seen"
- NEW: "My heart is seen"
- Why? Personalizes the verse. You could also use "Our hearts are seen"
Job 19
- OLD: "My Redeemer I'll be seeing"
- NEW: "In flesh I'll be seen"
- Why? Scripture uses word 'God', not 'Redeemer.' Fixes the rhyme and uses the keyword 'flesh'.
Malachi 4
- OLD: "Elijah restores more"
- NEW: "Hearts turn for sure"
- This change was suggested by the anonymous source of the actions. The new version hints at the key words better.
Proverbs 3
- I changed the action description to be the ASL word for trust instead of "two fists, knuckles to knuckles, with a single shake, head slightly bowed"
You can use the old or new versions -- these just happen to be the actions and phrases I'm teaching my class. The blank magic squares handout is so that you can practice the magic squares during class.

#1 Report on Magic Squares: I
Report on Magic Squares: I tried this out on my children last night at Family Home Evening to see how it was going to work (or not work) with my Seminary class. I admit it: I was astonished.
We went over the actions twice, and I was surprised at how well they remembered the actions after just one time through. And even more, they said this was FUN! I couldn't believe it! I was worried this might seem dumb to them, but they really liked it!
So today, after letting them sleep on it, I decided to test them to see how much they retained. To my astonishment, they missed just 4 and 5 scriptures respectively. That's an 80% or better retention rate for 25 passages after just two repetitions the day before. Astonishing.
I am in love with the Magic Squares. Thank you, Sister Tate!!!! You're a genius!
