Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Students stand in circle. One student steps out of circle and faces away from the others. He begins reading (or reciting from memory) one of the SM, while everyone else tosses the bean bag back and forth. The reader stops mid way and turns to face the group. Who ever is holding the bean bag must now become the reader and pick up where reader #1 left off. Continue repeating…

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).
Give the students 2 minutes to memorize as much as possible. They all stand. The first person recites the scripture until they miss a word (or cant remember any more). That person then sits down, looks at the word they missed and tells it to the class. The next person tries to say more than the first person. And so on. People sitting down can help the person reciting, if…

Enlarge the SM (or use the large poster once you are finished with it) and cut it into puzzle pieces.
Divide the class into teams of 3 students. Each team has two dice, a pie tin, a set of scriptures, a pencil and paper. Open scriptures to the SM. When teacher says go, the first student on each team begins to read the scripture while the second student writes down exactly what the first student is reading. At the same time, the third student is rolling the dice into the…

Give a few minutes for students to memorize their line. Call up a student per phrase/line and have them recite the SM (each their own line). Then call out a number and who ever in the audience has that number will come…

One student stands and reads (or quotes) one of the scriptures. The object is for the reading student to finish reciting the SM before all the others can locate and find the reference in their own scriptures.
All team members are given a few minutes to review the scripture. Each person is given a piece of paper and when the teacher says go they must write the scripture down on a piece of paper. The trick comes when the teacher tells them to switch papers. All persons in their team must switch what they have written with each other and correct that paper, then continue writing the…

Game is like musical chairs, but played with paper plates. Written on each plate is part of a scripture mastery. Divide the scripture up so only parts of the scripture is on each plate. (Let students write their part on the plates). Play music while the students exchange their plates with each other, (no order is necessary). When the music stops the one who has the first line of the…

Each team has chalk and board (if only one board, divide board into half with a line). Each team forms a line and when the teacher says go the first person starts writing the scripture on the board. When the teacher says switch the next person starts writing where the first ended. Eventually 1 team gets the complete scripture written and that team yells “scripture board”. Then we all sit…

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.)
