The First Week: Study Helps Jeopardy - Mentors/Minions

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

During the first week of Seminary, it's suggested that you teach a lesson on the study helps in the scriptures to help students get more out of their gospel study. New Testament Study Helps Jeopardy is an online Jeopardy-style game I made for my class to use for this purpose this year. It's slanted toward New Testament.

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

Question Mar 02 2012

is there a picture/image directory

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I love using the pictures in the Gospel Art Kit, which is no longer available for purchase (or if it is, I cannot find it in the LDS catalog). We have two partial copies in the Primary library that I am very protective of!

I know that most of the pictures are now available to download from lds.org. However, sometimes a single lesson or song uses many pictures, which can get expensive to print in color and do not last very well.

I have thought about how nice it would be to make a directory of sorts of the pictures that are included with the Primary manuals. For example, if I was looking for a picture of X, I could glance at the directory of pics in each packet to find it or one similar to it that I could borrow for my lesson. (much like the index that is included with the GAK).

Music to FHE

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

We bought a Children's Primary Songs Learning Keyboard from www.MormonMarket.com and our children have begun to play the songs to accompany the rest of the family when we sing to open and close FHE. We have even used it for one of our kids to showcase 'their' new song during FHE which always puts a smile on their faces. It really helps with keeping the children reverent on Sunday while they practice playing the keyboard. I've been really pleased to see (with the two older kids) their skill levels improve while playing the full sized piano.

Put Put Golf Acitivity

Submitted by Hatch Patch Cre... on

Combined Young Men, Young Women activates are a little more difficult in the winter. We changed A FHE activity to work for a combined YM/YW activity.

1st. We broke up all the youth into six teams

2nd: Each team was given a class room and building odds and ends like carpet rolls, duct tape, etc

3rd: Each team spent about 20 minutes constructing their hole in the room

4th: Then all the teams started on the next room over and tried each hole going around the church.

The Prayer Bucket

Submitted by Jenny Smith on

A veteran Seminary teacher told me about this method of choosing prayers for class that helps avoid having the same few kids volunteer to pray each day. I have used a similar method in Young Womens classes, too, and it works beautifully.

You'll need :
- a wooden Popsicle-style craft stick for every person in your class (plus some extras in case you get move-ins)
- red and green paint or markers
- a container to hold the completed items

I went to Walmart and bought the wide craft sticks and some green and red paint. The cool little bucket came from Target and it cost around $2.50. (You could, of course, mark one end with a black marker or something if you didn't have paint.)

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:

Object Lesson Jun 26 2011

Testimony Building, Fourth Article of Faith, Solid Foundation

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I wanted to teach the children about the 4th article of faith and how these principles and ordinances can help us build and strengthen our personal testimony. To do this I needed to build a small table. I was able to cut a piece of particle board into a 6 inch by 4 inch rectangle. Then I found some wooden doweling and cut four, four inch lengths. I then drilled an appropriate size hole that the doweling would squeeze into, and made the depth of the hole about half way into the wood and placed these holes at the four corner locations. Now I was ready to install and remove the legs as needed.
