Please enlighten me: Does anyone know what the role of a Stake Seminary Supervisor is in the Stake and does the person help with Graduation like they have in the past years.. I looked at the new Seminary Graduation guidelines and the Stake Seminary supervisor is not mentioned. In our Stake the role seem to have been taken over by S&I. Role is becoming obsolete.

Myself and another teacher are in our Valley. Our Stake Rep travels a lot. He visits us often for training. But. We have been given a Priesthood Brother who is our Seminary Principle . He takes care of the firesides and graduations. At least this is my understanding with our situation. You may want to contact your rep with a call or e-mail.

D&C 84 Handout

Attaching this to a small bag of chips for each kid to go with lesson 87 (D&C 84:43-61)
PERFECT! I’m going to make copies of this and attach it to the snack size bags of Doritos I have to hand out for “have you ‘red’ your scriptures today?” Doing small things like this all month: red treats to those who’ve “read” their scriptures.

What a good idea, Stacy Wallace Hansen! I’m glad you like it!

D&C 91 Balderdash

Cutout the 3 definitions on each of the 3 pages.  Have three students come up at a time.  Have each read the word and give a definition as noted on the paper. Afterwards have the class vote on whose definition they believe was the correct one.  Do not tell them whose definition was the correct one.  Have them read D&C 91 to figure out the correct definition.  Pseudepigrapha is found in the LDS Bible dictionary.  This is good to let students know about so they […]

Heads Up

I just had a great idea for a SM game! My students love playing a game on their phones called “Heads Up”. I just figured out that you can create customisable decks, so I created a deck with the SM references on them. It tests SM both ways – one student (or more) needs to be able to describe the SM from the reference, while the other, holding the phone to their head, needs to be able to guess the reference from the description.
Great idea! Love this game!
I can’t wait to surprise my students with it tomorrow!
So where do you find yours or do we have to do all ourselves! ?

Cool—-can you provide technical assisstance

We LOVE that game. I never even thought about making my own SM deck! Thanks :)

NICE!!!!!!! Great idea, thanks for the tip.
Uhh, little miss tech challenged here…is it an app for your phone?
 1
Yes!! I love this game and have it. Can’t wait to do this!
Just buy the phone app called “Heads Up”, then get the in-app purchase to design your own deck. Once you have that it is really easy, choose the ‘design your own deck’, type in the SM references in at a time, choose a picture for your deck if you like, and you’re done! It cost me 79p to buy the app and 79p for the in-app purchase – UK (I believe it is 99c each USA)

How fun! Thanks for the idea!
I don’t love to purchase apps, but my kids just may “wake up” for this one! Buying And making! Thanks!!? : )
I LOVE this idea!
Thank you for sharing this!!
ha! I have 2 kids out of 25 in the class with smart phones. some of my kids have no phone & no computer.

Nanette Rasband Hilton, you only need it on your own phone to use in class. One phone with the game set up on it will work for the whole group.

i love this idea but i cannot find how to buy the make-it-yourself part. please help
Kathleen Stancliffe, open the app and scroll down. In the section titled “More Decks” you will find one called “Build Your Own Deck.” When you click on it, it will ask you for your apple ID/password.
thanks Jeanne Gilmore Merrell, but there is not one titled that – i guess my problem may be i don’t have an iphone? i downloaded the app and it gave me 35 games but nothing anywhere says “build your own deck” ;(
We’ve played something similar – not an app but a real game called Hedbandz – get a partner and put a SM card up on your forehead and ask questions til you guess which one it is. Fun and easy!

Nannette, you’re very fortunate. All 30 of my students have smart phones. We had to ban electronic devices from seminary because of constant texting and game playing.

@ Jim yes, my kids loose ‘breakfast points’ for the whole class if they have their phones out during class–peer pressure to keep the few who are addicted to their phones focused. I don’t allow any electronics in class–only printed scriptures.
