Make Your Own "Brass" Plates

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

Make your own brass plates

I did this activity with my CTR 8 class years ago. It's a fun craft that helps students really think about why certain things are included in the scriptures and to practice writing their testimony.

Gather Your Materials


For this craft, you'll need

  • Scissors that you don't mind cutting metal with
  • copper flashing
  • sharp edge (counter top or piece of wood with right edges)
  • a pair of pliers
  • a piece of scrap 2x4
  • a large nail, craft stick, or pencil with the sharpened tip broken off

2012 Sunday School / RS / PH Bookmarks

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I've made these bookmarks for 5 years now, and thought yours may be a place where they could be shared or linked to. Please check them over, see what you think, send me some comments or just post them (and I'll see the incoming traffic.)

Find Ideas by Scripture Reference

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

I have recently begun tagging content by the chapter it references. Not all content that references a scripture is indexed here, but it's a start.

Please also note that this list is not yet grouped by book (Bible, BoM, etc). That is actually a pretty technically tricky exercise, and one that I'm not up to right now. Books are listed out of order.

What to do with old Camp and Scout T-Shirts (Sew and No-Sew T-Shirt Bags)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

If you're like me, you've got dozens of camp and school t-shirts that are too small or too ugly to wear outside, right? Well, here are some fun ideas to help you recycle those old tees into something usable again!

This craft is easy to do and would be perfect for Mutual, Activity Days, Family Home Evening, or Scouts. These bags are very versatile and can be used for everything from groceries to gym shoes. We've created both no sew and easy sewing versions of these bags:

Splitting Students into Teams to Learn the Gospel

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

Seminary Mom likes to split her classes into groups for gospel learning. Here's how she taught 3 Nephi 11 over the course of two days, while splitting into groups for researching the scripture topic:

Today was a special day as we began our study of 3 Nephi 11, the crowning moment in the Book of Mormon.

I know that the suggested teaching schedule recommends teaching 3 Nephi 11 in one day. But we are also to pray and consider the needs of our students as we approach our teaching schedule.

Are you Paying Attention?

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

Display a picture of a bird and a quarter. Then tell the following story:

Two men were walking down a busy city street. The one asked the other, "Listen to that bird." "I don't hear a bird," the other replied. "No, you must listen harder." The second individual listened very carefully and after a few seconds, he finally heard the bird amongst the hustle of the street.

The first individual asked, "Do you think THEY hear the bird?" The second man looked around at the rushing pedestrians racing past them. "No, probably not." "Now watch this." The first gentleman flipped a quarter, allowing it to fall to the ground. Scads of people stopped and looked for the fallen coin. "Amazing," came the reply of the second man.

The Importance of Following Directions

Submitted by Seminary Mom on

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."
