Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
This is the pacing guide, or reading schedule that I am using for my Seminary class. In my class, I ask the kids to read the material before class and then we discuss it. This isn’t the typical way, I know. I’m posting what I did here in case it helps home study students or teachers to see one way to break up the reading assignments. While I do not…

I created little cards for my Seminary class they could use to learn the 39 books of the Old Testament. These are color coded by the major divisions (law, history, poetical, prophets) to help them learn those divisions and aid in grouping. It just happened to work out that 2 sets of cards fits exactly on 3 pages. I laminated the cards and used them during class for timed competitions…

I don’t really consider this a “game” — at least not the way it was taught to me — but I have created these cards to teach the chronology of the Old Testament peoples. Here’s how it was taught to me. Write the following on the board: Adam | (6 chapters later) | Noah | (6 chapters later) | Abram/Abraham | two sons, Issac and Ishmael | Jacob/Israel | twelve…

This is an easy way to give students an overview of how the events in the Old Testament fit together. Updated in 2017 with a different version that my friend Brent shared with me. It’s the Margaret J Butler version you’ve seen a dozen times.
I was given a copy of the Old Testament Walk Through handout several months back by a friend for use in my Seminary class. I have no idea how to do this, but I think that it’s a method of learning the history of the Bible with hand motions and little rhymes. Old Testament Walk Through was prepared for the CES Teaching Fair on the Old Testament, 13-15 August 1991,…

Okay — the lesson for Leviticus 1 seemed pretty boring. Even really boring. And I just didn’t want to cover all that blood and such in class because I have a tendency to faint, so instead, I made this handout based on the chart in the Institute Manual pps 162-3 and the 5 points in the Seminary lesson manual. To use this, each student will need one handout (Tabernacle Offering.pdf)…

A schoolteacher friend made us a game based on the television show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire using Book of Mormon personalities. I altered it to use people from the Old Testament from Genesis to 1 Samuel as a review game for the kids in my class. This game takes about 10-15 minutes total to play, so I used it as part of a 3-way centers rotation between a…

Pam M. shared this game with me. “Here are the attachments for the game. “I hope you can understand it. My students enjoyed the quick game and we were able to have some good discussions about the Law of Moses as we played. “I will be posting my New Testament ideas this fall as I have been asked to teach seminary in our new ward! “Pam Mueller “http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com “PS: I…

Debbie Olson, compiler of this family feud data, gave me a copy of this when she subbed in my Seminary class this week. The kids loved it! Debbie compiled answers from over 400 Seminary students for 40 questions. There are two (one that uses keywords for scripture mastery and another about then-current leaders) that are probably not usable, but there are enough questions here for two or three full days…

These files are from the Old Testament manual for Institute. The original files were, unfortunately, filled with a weird pinky-orange background rendering them nearly impossible to photocopy and very difficult to read. I have taken the liberty of converting them to black and white and enlarging the text for readability. Now they are perfect for use in your classes when teaching about the measurements used in the Old Testament. The…
