Old Testament Who Wants to Be A Millionaire - Genesis to 1 Samuel

Jenny Smith — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:27:56 +0000

A schoolteacher friend made us a game based on the television show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire using Book of Mormon personalities. I altered it to use people from the Old Testament from Genesis to 1 Samuel as a review game for the kids in my class. This game takes about 10-15 minutes total to play, so I used it as part of a 3-way centers rotation between a drawing activity and a version of the game States.

The answers are found in the little scripture reference underneath each question.

Some of the sounds load automatically when a new slide is shown. On some you need to click the speaker at the bottom right.

----SOME TIPS----
On the question slides the question will appear automatically -- just give it a second.

Old Testament Walk-Through

Jenny Smith — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 20:08:09 +0000

I was given a copy of the Old Testament Walk Through handout several months back by a friend for use in my Seminary class. I have no idea how to do this, but I think that it's a method of learning the history of the Bible with hand motions and little rhymes.

Old Testament Walk Through was prepared for the CES Teaching Fair on the Old Testament, 13-15 August 1991, at Brigham Young University. I'm providing it in ODT, PDF, and JPG format.

Several people have asked about it here:

Please post in the comments section below if you can give any enlightenment about how to use this handout.

The Old Testament Name Game Cards

Jenny Smith — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:38:25 +0000

I don't really consider this a "game" -- at least not the way it was taught to me -- but I have created these cards to teach the chronology of the Old Testament peoples.

Here's how it was taught to me. Write the following on the board:

Now you add this information to the chart:

Young Women Value Quest

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:20 +0000

In this "quest for value" the young women will be divided into two teams with at least one leader each. They will play 7 games relating to 7 of the YW values and, at the end, should emerge with 8 value-colored flags. The way to win is to complete all of the games and get all of the flags before Mutual ends. And of course, they should have fun!

Materials: (Just a quick overview)
-16 flags, 2 for each value color (flags could be cut and sewn, or just scraps of fabric or ribbon)
-*Might want to bring a couple big T-shirts for Inspection
-a set of scriptures
-10 or so wooden blocks (at least enough for every team member to get one)
-2 grocery bags filled with assorted food stuffs
-1 bin of small children's toys
-5 fold-up chairs (the church ones work great)

Daddy / Daughter game (Newlywed style)

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:46:33 +0000

We had a Daddy/Daughter date night for our Young Women. We started with dinner, ours was pizza and rootbeer floats. Then we played Know Your Partner (as some of our young women don't have a dad, we borrowed Uncles and Grandfathers). Split the fathers and daughters and while fathers were making and enjoying their own rootbeer float, we asked questions of the daughters:

1. What is your dad's favorite passtime?

2. What is your dad's favorite food?

3. What kind of music does your dad listen to?

4. What is your dad's favorite color?

5. What is your dad's favorite season?

Then while the young women made and enjoyed their rootbeer floats, We asked the fathers the following quesions:

1. What is your daughter's favorite color?

Old Testament Mad Gab (Scripture Mastery) Game submitted by www.LeannaProsser.com

LeannaProsser.com — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:21:42 +0000

The object of the game is very simple. Each card has a set of unrelated words. When you read them aloud, they sound like familiar phrases, names, places . For example

"eye knome eye read dimmer leaves" Now say it a few times and take a good guess.

The answer is "I know my Redeemer lives". Wasn't that fun!?

The rules: Divide class into two teams. There are lots of ways to play but here are 2 options:
1. whichever team says the correct answer first (phrase and scripture reference) gets a point--or you could allow only one player at a time per team to guess.
2. First team has 30 seconds to answer as many as they can (1 point for each correct answer). Second team gets 15 seconds to answer and steal the unanswered cards

The team with the highest score wins!

Scripture Mastery Double or Nothing

A game used to help familiarize Seminary students with the content of the Scripture Mastery program.

JELLO Festival

Hatch Patch Creations — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:03:49 +0000

The LDS culture has always had a tie to JELLO. So we decided to laugh and have a JELLO Festival. This is a great activity if you do not have a huge budget. We had a JELLO collection box in the foyer for everyone to donate old food storage. We then started planning the JELLO Festival we had:

Jello taste-testing: We made ballots and gave prizes who could name the different JELLO flavors

Jiggler Toss: This was great for the youth, we ran it like an Egg-toss but with JELLO

JELLO art: Great for the primary kids. We gave each child a paper plate and little bowls of watered Jello to paint with.

JELLO Mold competition: Many members brought a Jello mold and we voted on the best one.

JELLO-Pie eating contest: We siimply filled pie tins with JELLO and added whip cream

Scripture Mastery Mix it Up

Jenny Smith — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:25:08 +0000

So today for scripture mastery, I passed out a sheet of 25 picture representations for each of the 25 scripture mastery scriptures. I gave the students five minutes to write out all of the references they could figure out for each picture representation.

For the second set of five minutes I let them use their scriptures to fill in any blanks they'd not been able to figure out by memory alone. We will be using this sheet for them off and on now throughout the rest of the year, along with the other activities we will be doing.

I would love to show you the sheet of pictures, but I didn't draw them myself and do not know who originally created the sheet. Thus, I am unable to post it here.

But here is another approach!

Scripture Mastery Road Rally Game

Jenny Smith — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 17:51:47 +0000

Today we held a road rally for our scripture mastery game. I created a little maze and placed each of the targeted scriptures with missing chapter and verse references on the page.

I passed out the sheet and had each student put their name on it. I explained that this was NOT a test, but simply an assessment form that we'd be using off and on for the rest of the year to gauge their progress.

ROUND ONE.
Their assignment was, without looking in their scriptures, to fill in as many of the chapter and verse numbers that they could, keeping the scriptures in chronological order as best they could.

The Importance of Following Directions

Jenny Smith — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 16:36:33 +0000

Then to give a break from the reading (and to rouse the sleepy-headed students), I passed out a "3-Minute Test." This was a quick little quiz to test "obedience" and precision to directions.

You can easily make your own. Start off by announcing that they are to read through the entire test before doing anything. But then have a series of at least 20 "commandments", like writing their name on the paper, standing and twirling in a circle, answering a math problem in the corner of the page, etc. THEN have as the final direction on the page (number 20 or so), "Do none of the above."

Scripture, Scripture, Who Has the Scripture

Jenny Smith — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:33:50 +0000

SCRIPTURE SCRIPTURE, WHO HAS THE SCRIPTURE?

Announce to the class that we're playing a game called, "Scripture, Scripture, Who Has the Scripture?" Someone has hidden essential clues to eternal life and we are the detectives, finding those clues. On the chalkboard/whiteboard, prior to class, print on the board the key words to the scripture masteries that need review. Then cover the word clues with a series of cut-out black footprints.

At the end of the black footprints, there is one gold key taped to the board.

Rather than playing this in teams (as I sorely discovered), have them play as a class as a whole.

Scripture Memory - The 8 Best Game

Jenny Smith — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 14:10:19 +0000

Today we played a memory game. I had previously selected 8 scripture mastery scriptures that I felt needed review. Drawing a big sixteen-square table, I then mixed up scripture references and key words all over the board. Then I covered them with colorful paper.

Then after opening exercises, devotional, etc., I divided the class into two teams. They each had their scriptures in hand. Taking turns, a student from team A would select two squares to remove to see if they had found the matching keyword to the matching reference (to determine which was team A and B, I simply thought of a number between 1 and 20 and let each team guess a number. I try very hard to not show favoritism).

General Conference Bingo

Jenny Smith — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 18:49:55 +0000

This is a bingo-style conference game has 7 different cards you can use during conference to help entertain small children. Use buttons, M&Ms, or other small items to cover each block when those things are mentioned during the conference. It can also be colored in, since it's black and white.

Priesthood Finger Puppets

Jenny Smith — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 16:05:41 +0000

These finger puppets can be used for multiple activities, including Primary, Special Needs, and Family Home Evening. They were created for the 2011 Primary Theme by the graphic design gurus at the Church.

You'll find puppets for Bishop, Pastor, Evangelist, Apostle, Patriarch, Teacher, and Prophet.

Oddly enough, there are two Teachers, and one is a woman.... I would leave her out so as not to confuse the children you're teaching. The calling of teacher (male/female) and the priesthood office of Teacher (male only) are different, and if you're teaching a lesson on Priesthood it could get confusing.

8 puppets in black and white AND color.

Bucket Game

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 04:06:11 +0000

Everyone stands in a circle (alternate boy/girl if possible). Everyone holds hands. There is a bucket or a large trash can in the center (just short enough to jump over if needed). Everyone can try to pull each other so that someone either touches the trash can (which gets them out) or get two people to let go of their grip (both go out).

This worked best with around 10 to 20 people, but can be played with any number. It can be fairly tiring, can be played indoors our out. We played it as part of a combined FHE for singles, but it could be integrated into any activities night or as the FHE activity.

Seminary Mom: Revving Review Game

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:13:08 +0000

oday during our scripture mastery day, we did a "Revvvving Review." This is where I have the kids take their scriptures and a paper and pencil and race through the Book of Mormon (or in Old Testament year the Old Testament, etc.), searching for all the mastery scriptures we've memorized thus far.

Here are the specifics:

The kids find the first scripture mastery as fast as they can and then write down the reference on the paper with a few key words (they use this "cheat sheet" with each other for the second half of the game).

They flip to the second scripture mastery (chronologically) and write down the reference and key words (they pick the key words themselves - whatever speaks to them).

Seminary Mom: Spiritual Toss Across Game

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:07:02 +0000

Silly me - I'd looked at the schedule wrong for the week and discovered I was very far behind. Ouch. My error. This week was supposed to be Alma 43-58. That is a lot of chapters as it is, and then I make it worse by reading the week wrong. I only covered one chapter on Monday and one chapter on Tuesday. Now I'm even more behind! Ack! Now what to do?

I share this because perhaps this might help you if you ever find yourself in the same situation.

I came up with a game I called "Spiritual Toss Across." I did this to be able to cover a large amount of chapters in a short period of time. But

Gratitude and the 10 Lepers - Crossword puzzle and lesson

Jenny Smith — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 01:14:44 +0000

I Believe in Having a Happy Heart

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord (Ps. 92:1).

When you do something kind for someone, do you like to be told thank you? How does it make you feel?

Heavenly Father and Jesus have given you many blessings for which you can be thankful. Being thankful means that you appreciate your blessings and the kind things other people do for you. When you are thankful, your heart is happy!

Mr. Hot Potato - Scripture Mastery Game

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:17:00 +0000

My kids are excitedly preparing for Scripture Mastery Day at the stake center at the end of the year. Thus meet Mr. Potato Head. He's fast become one of their friends in this process.

Here's how he has helped us this year when we've come to Fridays and are playing scripture mastery games.

1. One of the students will squeeze his tummy, to start the silly song he plays. One by one, the kids will pass him around the room.

2. When Mr. Potato finally squeals "Hot Potato", the person holding him then gets to flip through the scripture mastery cards and select a scripture to test the rest of the group.

Teaching with Puzzles

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:38:28 +0000

Today in Seminary we discussed Alma 40, where Alma teaches his son Corianton about resurrection. To get started I distributed in little baggies nine puzzle pieces with pre-written scripture references (found in the table entitled, "Alma Teaches Corianton about the Resurrection" on page 180 in the teacher's manual).

The students were divided into teams of three each, with the responsibility of writing a summary on the back of each puzzle piece, regarding the scripture verses found on the front. Once finished with summarizing and writing on all nine puzzle pieces, they were to put the puzzle together and to select one word which summarized the theme of this chapter.

Then each team shared what they had found as I called out the various verses on the puzzle pieces.

Scripture Mastery Muffin Cup Game

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:34:07 +0000

Following is Seminary Mom's scripture mastery game idea:

Preparation

1. I cut out circles of paper using the base of a small glass for tracing a well-rounded circle (not that a perfect circle really matters).

2. I wrote the historical setting on each individual circle for twelve of the scripture masteries I wanted to focus on for the day. (I found the historical setting on the front of the scripture mastery cards given the students. On another day, I might write the doctrinal teaching or missionary application, etc.)

3. I placed the circles in the muffin tin with the writing all "face up". (As we played the game, we turned over the papers "face down" once that scripture had been done.)

(Probably obvious, but I prepared all this before class :0)

Sunday School Jeopardy Review

Jenny Smith — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 00:27:52 +0000

I was asked to sub for the 12-13 year old Gospel Doctrine (Preparing for Exaltation) class this Sunday. The Sunday School president wasn't sure which lesson the class was on, so I fell back on my old CTR jeopardy game to do a class review game.

Step 1I printed the jeopardy rules

Step 2Then I printed pages 3-4 of the CTR jeopardy game.

Step 3Then I created the file listed below with questions to ask. Topics are Jesus Christ, Prayer, Receiving Revelation, Plan of Salvation, and Living the Gospel. The questions are based on several of the lessons from the first half of the manual.

"I am attaching an activity that we did when I was in the Young Women's presidency. It is for Salt Lake City use, but perhaps it can inspire other types of this activity in different cities.

"It is 'Itty Bitty Mormon City' and was inspired by the Itty Bitty City that the Salt Lake Tribune puts on periodically. I got the idea from someone else in our stake but the pictures they had were very old and copied so many times that it was too difficult to read or see clearly. We ha a little family outing and made our own new version with digital pictures.

"It was so much fun and I hope you will post it on your site so others can enjoy it as well!"

After explaining the rules we sent the kids off in groups (with leaders, of course) to find the items and write their location. We set a specific time for everyone to meet back at a designated spot where we compared notes to see who found the most or if anyone found them all.

"Please be aware that I tried to photograph items that will not change locations, however that does not necessarily mean that they won't! As part of your planning you may want to take a trip downtown to verify that they are still located in the same places as I have listed.

Survivor Challenge

Fri, 20 Jan 2006 06:00:00 +0000

Preparation:

The room needs to be set up ahead of time. The idea was to make it look like the tribal council gathering place on survivor. We used a room with a chalkboard and a table in front. I used masking tape to steady two outdoor torch posts (found at any home and garden center) to each side of the table and filled each torch with orange cellophane to look like a flame. On the chalk board, I wrote largely "The Survivor Challenge" and outlined it. I put up several wall hangings that I have from Mexico (masks, Mayan calendar) to make it more decorative. Two signs were hung on each side of the large "torches" with the names of the two teams, Team Moroni and Team Helaman. The chairs need to be set up in a half semi-circle facing the table and chalkboard. Between the table and the chair semi-circle, I made a fire pit by using a very large stainless steel bowl from the church kitchen and pieces of yellow and orange cellophane folded and taped to look like individual flames. There will need to be at least one flame per youth. I rolled up brown card stalk and stapled them into tubes (again, one per youth) to make torches and layed them around the fire pit. In another room in the church, the physical activities are set up ahead of time. Fruit salad was made ahead of time and put into clear cups for refreshments.

Invite the youth to sit on the chairs and in front of the chairs (campfire style). Explain that they are now a part of...
