Bubble Gum
One student is given a piece of bubble gum. As soon as he starts opening the wrapper, all students start to write out the SM (copy from scriptures if necessary). See who can write the most down before the gum chewer blows a bubble.
Beat it
Have one student read the scripture aloud while you time how long it takes. Write the time on the board. Now, have one student say the first word, the next student say the next word, the third student say the third word, etc. Time and see how long this takes. Do the same thing again but faster. Can the class beat the time of the original reader?
Fastest Mouth
Have one student read the scripture aloud while you time how long it takes. Another student tries to beat the time, while everyone else listens for missed words, etc. Must be understood and accurate to qualify.
Phrasology
Have everyone look at the poster and write down or discuss what they think the key phrase is. Compare the phrase to the phrase on the bookmarkdid you pick the same phrase?
Cover Up
Using the large poster with the scripture written out (that the student prepared), have the class recite the SM together. One student then places a block of paper (these blocks can be different sizes and shapes) over some of the words. Recite again. Cover more of the poster and recite again, etc.
Quizzes
Pass out 3X5 cards and have the students prepare quizzes on the SM they own (owning means they have chosen scripture masteries ahead of time to lead the class in learning ~Jenny). Make copies and save until the week you are concentrating on that scripture. Quiz ideas: Fill-in-the-blank, first letter only, unscramble (each line on the card will need to be put into the correct order).
