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).
