The first student to locate the scripture gets a strike, then the teacher starts counting down from 9 to 1 and then gutter. When they have located the scripture, they write down the number you…

Give each student three 3X5 cards. Have them write a question on each card that an investigator might ask. The questions should require the use of a SM to answer. (They can look at the missionary application on the back of their SM cards to help them come up with these questions.) Divide the class into two groups. One group is the Investigators. Give each investigator three mini bags of…

Set up: You need several pieces of paper (equal to the number of half your class). Label each sheet with a number, starting with zero and continuing upward. (For example, I have twelve students, so I need 6 sheets of paper, labeled: 0,1,2,3,4&5) (If an odd number of students are present, then I play with them to make it even.). Tape the sheets of paper to the floor in a…

Prepare 5 cards (3X5 cards work well) each with a different point value (100, 75, 50, 25, &10). (You may also wish to laminate them.) Divide players into several teams (5 teams if possible). Physically separate the teams and place a small table in the middle of the room. Place these 5 point cards face up on the table. Select one player from each team to be the team’s runner…

Put the balloons scattered all over the floor in one area by you. When you say “GO” one member of each team runs to get their color of balloon and takes it back to their team where someone has to…

The first player rolls a die and moves the penny (in either…

Place all of the game cards on the board in pairs (either one above the other or side-by-side). (The written side in view). None of the card pairs should…

Divide into teams. One student comes up and teacher hands him a SM card. He must draw a picture to represent that SM while his team guesses the reference. (Can be timed if needed.) Cannot draw words or numbers, no making sounds or hand gestures. If you want to take this to a new level, then have the student roll a dice and do accordingly: #1 or #4 Draw the…
