Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
This idea is based on one shared at LDS Seminary Teacher Group by Lindsey M. Here’s what people say about it: Here’s an idea for recapping 1 Nephi. I did something similar last year in NT with Paul, and the students said it was one of their favorite activities! – Lindsay M You know if you did this for each book at the end of the year you could…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/step-into-darkness-in-faith.html The Lord may inspire us to do something without telling us why, how or when we should do it. Nephi learned this only AFTER he allowed the Holy Ghost to direct him and AFTER he decided to go in faith.Harold B. Lee said we often want to see the end from the beginning or the outcome before we will follow the Lord’s direction. I handed out this…

We discussed what they thought it wasWhere is was leadingAny feelings they had Many of them thought what ever was at the bottom, couldn’t be goodDid it even have a bottom?Then I read this statement: by Elder H.

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/who-was-nephi.html We brained stormed about who Nephi was. A student was the scribe. As the class shared what they knew about the Prophet Nephi, it was written on the board. The students then copied them in their journals. Next we compared Lehi to Joseph Smith using the scriptures: 1 Nephi 1: 4-20 and JSH 1: 1-35We were amazed to find how much their lives were alike. Take a few…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/class-mascot.html So this little fellow will be used in class this year. When I want to call on someone to read, I will toss it to them. They in turn will toss it to another person to read. We can use it in Scripture Mastery and games along the way. The ideas are endless! The choosing of a name proved harder than I thought. Only one rule: had to…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-make-liahona.html My son took the challenge! He heard me wondering out loud how I might be able to make a Liahona. While I was at work, he found plenty of supplies around the house. He spent a week putting it all together, surprising me with in time for our seminary kick off meeting! I am thrilled with the results! A teapot that was given to us that we…

This is the reading chart I use for assigning daily reading to my Seminary students. I usually put Flex Days with no reading assignment on Thursday so that students don’t have to read after mutual on Wednesday night. Students come to class having read the assignment for the day, so for example, they read the assignment listed for Monday on Sunday evening. If students miss a day, I ask them…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/1-nephi-11-14-the-lamb-of-god-and-the-giving-tree/ Today’s lesson was a continuation of the previous one, “1 Nephi 10-11, God’s Lamb is Given“. In that lesson the students seemed to really be interested in the SNellFour-Sacrificial Lamb-Savior principle, so I decided to continue with that pattern in today’s lesson while supplementing it with a lot of the other information that is found in […]

I have 6 different sheep at the front of my classroom as part of my decor. They are each called SNellFour. My friend and colleague, Brother Todd Davis, introduced me to this concept over 10 years ago and I have […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/1-nephi-8-gods-tree-is-great/ This is one of those lessons that I have a love-hate relationship with. I probably shouldn’t be this way, but there are certain scripture blocks where I just think, “How do I even begin to do justice to this set of scripture?” I feel like I am putting bumper sticker on a Ferrari–it’s just not […]
