Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
By Beth Jervis Perazzo Beth Jervis Perazzo: #participation Well, I think I’ve finally found a way to get my freshman students to participate instead of just stare at me when I ask a question. I took the idea from a game called “Name 5.” I have dry erase markers and boards for them to write on (which I took out of my game “Likewise” but any white board will do) and…

By Lolly Preston Lyman Lolly Preston Lyman: So earlier this week we played a fun scripture mastery game that had the kids blood pumping. I posted “feathers in the hallways through out the building and a runner from two different teams ran to find the correct feather after their team found the scripture. The winner had to “gobble gobble” all the way back. It was hilariously fun and funny. Today…

I didn’t realize there were so few descendents of Joseph Smith Jr. that are baptized members of the church (as compared to Hyrum Smith).

By Rachel Murphy Rachel Murphy: Today’s lesson of #DandC65 was one of the most spiritual lessons we have had all year. While reading through the scripture block the word that impressed me the most was prepare. I really enjoy throwing parties and preparing for them so I had a vision of having the seminary students help prepare for a party or event. The event we were preparing for was the…

By Scott Knecht Here is something I wanted to write about a while back and thought I did, but was reminded by a friend that it never happened. So here it is now. The question is how do you get more students to open up and speak more often? Teachers will tell me that their students won’t say anything in class. I think “That’s odd because as they were walking…

By Khipi Parker Khipi Parker: I’m not sure how to best ask this question and I hope it makes sense….As a teacher, do you complete the work like a student would? In other words, do you do the home-study/make-up version of the lessons, mark your scriptures, and/or keep a seminary/scripture journal? 2(5 hours ago) Coleen Machiel Castro: Yes! I keep a scripture notebook as I read the years course during…

By Scott Knecht I once visited a teacher’s class that did not go well. We talked afterwards and we both knew it was weak. A month later I visited and it was a much better class. I asked him if he could pinpoint the difference and what had happened in the last 4-5 weeks. I was surprised that he could answer so quickly. He did not hesitate to say that…

By Cathy Borchardt Cathy Borchardt: #D&C 64 I gave out 3×5 cards with different hurtful scenarios on them. Someone photoshops your face onto a nasty picture and circulates it through high school. Someone beats up your little brother. Someone tells lies about your dad and he gets fired. Someone ransacks your house and steals basically everything. Someone publicly humiliates you. Someone criticizes your mom and you hear them. etc etc….

By Amy Jones Griffeth Amy Jones Griffeth: I didn’t originally plan on this but I got a box of sour warhead candy canes to give to my class. Then when I was picking my opening song to go with #DandC58 the second lesson, I saw the use of the word bitter in the opening hymn I picked, and it all came together. I gave them a little devotional after the…
