Scripture Mastery Devotional Preparation Activity Day This idea is similar to the idea above, but students are given time to prepare devotionals. If your students are like mine, devotionals are too often done “on the fly”. This activity day gives you and your students the opportunity to “fix it”. To make…

This information was originally published at http://kenalford.com/semlist/2002/02jan25.htm and sent out as part of Ken Alford’s email list to Seminary teachers. 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. The first idea is to hold two “scripture mastery scripture chain” activity days. Scripture Mastery Scripture Chain Activity Day (Day 1) ============================================ Assign small student teams to create scripture…

No fingers touching the pages. I call out a clue, key word, or state ask a question that can be answered in a specific scripture, then I say GO. The first…

This Scripture Mastery game is to help students recall the references from key words(but just a few at a time); so dont let students tell each other the references. To play, divide students evenly into rows (no more than 5 in a row). Then each row is given a stack of 25 cards with a Scripture Mastery Reference written on each (you can also use a regular stack of Scripture…

The idea is pretty simple. Have one less chair than students in a circle. When you give the clue, they walk around the chairs while chasing to the place in their scriptures. 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….

Have a representative from the first one draw a picture of the scripture mastery selected by the zone without using any numbers, letters, or words. The first person in the class to identify and locate…

Here is an easy one. Each student should draw hangman gallows on a blank piece of paper. Give a clue and let the students chase against the clock for ten to fifteen seconds. If they fail to find the scripture, they add a part of the body to the gallows. Be sure that the parts of the body they add before a student is hung are predetermined, such as head,…
