Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
As a wrap up and review of Moses 7, we did an activity based on Moses 7:18(See photos below)”And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.”…
For the first 2 weeks of class, I have encouraged my students to mark all 25 Scripture Mastery verses.As part of the “Studying Scriptures” lesson, we discussed various ways to mark scriptures.Over the 4 years of Seminary, I encourage them to mark all 1…
When my older children attended Seminary and earned the Master Scriptorian Award, they were presented with these beautiful plaques.Fast forward to the past 3 years when I became a Seminary teacher and wanted to find these plaques for my own students. I…
This idea was posted on Facebook by Thomas Mark OlsenI took his idea and off I went to plan and set up the details for a super fun Scripture Mastery activity.Who knew…Skateboards and Scriptures would be so fun together!!!(On another note, this may be…
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! ?2Cool—-can you provide technical assisstance2We LOVE that game. I never even thought about making my own SM deck! Thanks :)1NICE!!!!!!! Great idea, thanks for the tip.Uhh, little miss tech challenged here…is it an app for your phone?1Yes!! 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)1ok thanks!Apple Store UK link: Heads Up! by Warner Bros. appsto.re/gb/rq0kL.i1How 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.1Nanette 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.2i love this idea but i cannot find how to buy the make-it-yourself part. please helpKathleen 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!3Thanks RaNae Shoaf1Nannette, 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.1@ 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.Great idea!
Rachel Murphy:
I’m in need of some help. I have two very fussy babies today and not a whole lot of time to comb through the Internet for a fun but effective Scripture mastery game. What are your go to games?
My objective is to help get through as m…
My class has really enjoyed the “mad fans” cards.Ever heard the joke “Why is 6 afraid of 7?” – “Because 7 8 9!”
Well 6 no longer has to fear…3D&C:6 Look up, God will fix. D&C: 25 Covenants alive. These come from the SM Magic Square.2Six in French sounds like “cease”; D&C 6: cease doubt. 25: keep covenants aliveWe say: “Doctrine & Covenants section 6…doubt not, fear nix.” For 25 we say, “Doctrine & Covenants 25…cleave to your covenants so you can thrive.” They work like a charm! Love, love, love SMs.I point out that the reference 6:36 is like a face. The sixes are eyes that remind us to look unto Christ. The 3 is a nose.3Hey I was just going to say what Lydia said! That’s what we do. Also, Keeping covenants helps you be clean in D&CD 25:13.My kids came up with D&C6 Jesus Christ will fix and D&C 25 Keep your covenants alive.Thoughts on Christ affix. D&C section Six. Then 25:13 my kids came up with on average people make a marriage covenant at 25 or they said the 13 looks like a hand cleaving to the iron rod.1If we don’t cleave unto the covenants, we won’t make it to our 25th anniversary. The 13 Articles of Faith help us do that.1Brilliant! Thanks all!One of my students pointed out there was a street sign that said something like “drive 25 – keep kids alive” Great for D&C 25 “Keep Covenants alive”
They LOVE this tradition we started last year… Divide into teams. Give a scripture mastery clue and they race to find it. The WHOLE team has to find it and hold their scriptures up when they do. If they answer correctly, they get to …
By Janae Clark Anderson Janae Clark Anderson: I did the SCRIPTURE MASTERY SCAVENGER HUNT hunt and it was a huge hit. See files above. I have 10 students so I made 2 teams. I made my own list of 30 items, brought them and had a mom spread them in the 2 foyers. I have 3 “bell hop” bells the kids love to ring so I had them all hold…

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…

By Dorianne Quinton Varty Dorianne Quinton Varty: Has anyone come up with, or found clues or rhymes to help remember SM references? It’s hard this year when they’re all numbers instead of book names!

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…
