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…

In the next several [Seminary-Notes] messages, we’ll consider some ideas for “non-game” scripture mastery activity days that you might wish to try.

Because our class is large, I had to make up a game that let all of my 6 zones compete against each other for points, but keep a basketball theme and keep everyone interested and participating.

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. To play you need to get a pool noodle and cut it in half. That will be your Samurai sword. Arrange the tables to face each other in whatever shape, according to how many students you have. If you have a small class,…

When they have found it, they can sit down. The student who is last to find it and sit down wont have a chair so they are out. Then you take out another chair after each round. Fun….
