By Cindy Harris Congdon Cindy Harris Congdon: What electronic devices are helpful for you when presenting your lessons? Any cables or projectors that hook up easily to an iPhone? Speakers? Game equipment? Anything else? With Christmas coming up, I’d love some suggestions for my team-teacher (my husband) to get for me. :) (53 minutes ago) Vickie Larson Fairchild: Did I know that you were teaching seminary as well? (52 minutes…

By Sharon Lanier Rogerson Sharon Lanier Rogerson: Does anyone know where the terms Ward and Branch came from? My students were fascinated this morning by the explanation of the tent and why we call a group of wards a Stake and that it references the vs in Isaiah. They then wanted to know where the term ward and branch originated. I’ve researched, I will admit not too extensively, but I…

By Sally Avena Sally Avena: Today for #dandc60 for the section about testimonies, I made some “oobleck” (corn starch and water) to let them handle while we talked about the importance of sharing/using our testimonies. If you ‘use’ the oobleck it’s firm but if you just let it sit it gets all runny and slips through your fingers. Related that to our testimonies and had a great discussion. Good activity…

By Jenny Smith Jenny Smith: I wanted to mention something I found while preparing last week’s lesson: the stories in the student manual are often better or extended compared to the teacher manual. For example in #dandc45, the student manual has a great extended explanation of the parable of the #tenvirgins from SWK. It’s not present in the teacher manual. If you’re like me and wanting more background or explanation,…

By Rachel Murphy Rachel Murphy: Today’s lesson was #dandc60 and #dandc62. There was a lot to choose from but I felt impressed to focus on two specific scriptures from those sections about testimonies. DandC 60:2-3 and then DandC 62:3. 62:3 talks about our testimonies being recorded by angels in heaven. I had the students go into the gym and pick up a book in the circle and hold it. I…

By Cheryl Elliott Belnap Cheryl Elliott Belnap: I haven’t shared anything in a while- today’s lesson was pretty good. We were in D&C 57. We started out reading silently the first 3 verses and discovered that the temple is in the center place of Zion. Then I had them all go up individually and write one thing about the temple on the board and they couldn’t write what someone else…

By Nancy Willey Blan Nancy Willey Blan: For those of you who have a class president in your classrooms, what responsibilities do you give them? (5 hours ago) Julee Robinson: We have a sign up sheet for prayers, hymn and devotionals. The president of the week makes sure those things are signed up for by other class members. The president conducts class, sometimes conducts some kind of scripture mastery activity,…

By Lisa May Lisa May: Since we only have a few weeks to focus on Christmas before break, this would be a great idea for daily devotional.

By Scott Knecht Details matter. Sometimes in lesson preparation I think of large themes and big things to do in class. But if I forget the details I lose some of the power that the lesson could have. For example, there are some words that pop up frequently that beg for definition. I happen to think that it is not a good idea to ask students for word definitions because…

By Elaine Henson Elaine Henson: Thanks for the Turkey Tail Feather SM Game idea! My kids loved it, it became a bit of a race, all of them charging down the corridor to find the right feather first. They have all got so good at their Scripture Masteries! And I had fun creating my cute Turkey ;) It is hard thinking of new things to do to keep SM interesting…
