Tape a piece of paper with the key words onto the ceiling. Give a treat to the first student to notice it and a treat to the first student who shouts out the reference. (or finds it in their scriptures).
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.)
