Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
From Ken Alford: After giving them plenty of advance notice, invite the entire bishopric or branch presidency to scripture chase against your class. You can set up the rules anyway you’d like — making it as competitive or just friendly, as you’d like. Depending on the parents of your students, you might also be able to try something like this using Seminary parents and students. An activity like this tends…

Here is how we do Scripture Chasing: I call out “Books Up” and students close their books and place their books out in front of them with the spine down and their hands on the front and back covers.

As soon as the clue is given the Hucker from team one throws Lucky (the name of the stuffed animal) into the basket or garbage can across the room. If he misses it is rebounded…

Before you can have effective scripture chasing, they first need to learn the references to the key words or clues. This game sharpens that skill. It will also help you see who is your fastest. There are many versions of this game. How I do it is I set a long row of tables and seat students on each side facing each other. All students things (including scriptures) need to…

Scripture Samurai is one of my favorite Scripture Mastery Games ever. It is especially good for students to learn the key words associated with each scripture mastery.

If you have a small class,…
