Each student finds and writes out the SM. As they finish, teacher assigns them a number. When all are done, roll the dice (or choose # from a draw bag) and a candy is given to the number rolled. (This eliminates the racing anyone who finishes has equal chance at the prize.)

Divide the scripture into parts and have each student draw a rebus for the SM. (A rebus is when you replace words with symbols or pictures, i.e. I becomes a picture of an eye, be becomes a picture of a bee. Etc.
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.
