Mr. Hot Potato - Scripture Mastery Game
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 4:17pmMy 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. Read more »
Teaching with Puzzles
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 08/20/2010 - 11:38amToday 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. Read more »
Scripture Mastery Muffin Cup Game
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 08/16/2010 - 7:34pmFollowing 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) Read more »
Sunday School Jeopardy Review
Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sat, 08/14/2010 - 7:27pmI 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.
