Scripture mastery

Scripture mastery activities are so multi-layered with purposes. Youth have fun while gaining confidence in the scriptures.

Leaders of the LDS Church have shown an undeniable interest in the youth of the Church lately. In early 2013, the new youth Sunday curriculum Come, Follow Me: Learning Resources for Youth was released. Then age requirements for missionary service were changed in October 2012, allowing many more young adults to serve as full-time missionaries. This school year, seminary students will notice one more change to their religious education. Church leaders have taken a second look at Seminary…

Pardon the photo quality as I explain how I used hula-hoops to teach the Plan of Salvation/ Plan of Happiness on our first day of Seminary. I lined up a few students at the front of the classroom and gave them hula hoops to replicate the pattern below. In between each person who was holding a hula hoop (circle), I placed another person to represent the lines in the design. The people represented: (left to right) Pre-Mortal Life (holding a hula hoop), Birth, This life (holding a hula hoop)…

Here is our class Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery Ball The is a soccer ball, but you can use any type of ball. Ask your students if any of them have a spare soccer ball that they can donate to the class. We had one for New Testament and this is something most of the students have asked to have again. Toss, pass, kick, or volley the ball around in "hot potato" fashion. Have a person turn their back to the action and when they stay "STOP", whoever has the ball checks to see where their right…

Seminary is getting closer and closer! I've been busy preparing lessons, getting materials together, and (to be honest) kind of dreading getting up early. I think I've been a little spoiled this summer! Grumpy Cat always understands me. This year, along with the new curriculum, eight of the twenty-five Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery scriptures are different. Unfortunately this means that a lot of the materials are still in the process of being updated, and a lot of the free printables and…

D&C Doctrinal Mastery Rhymes list

So, I should start this post with an apology. I noticed that it has been over a year since I last posted on this blog. Opps! As you can imagine this past year has been crazy busy. Here are a few highlights in a nut shell: Chris graduated from law school. Chris went through the temple for the first time at the LDS Temple in Oakland California. Christ took the CA State Bar exam...AND PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!! We got sealed for time and all eternity in the LDS Temple in Mesa Arizona. We had 2 wedding…

1. Don’t take a whole day doing a Scripture Mastery Game. It’s too long and you will lose half the class, and the value of the activity after 20 minutes or so. On those days, do...

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 100 Scripture Mastery verses with a uniform color and method so when they are looking through their scriptures, those verses stand out as Scripture Mastery verses. I show them several different examples and hope that they choose what works…

All 25 D&C Scripture Mastery Verses on One Page

It's another year of Seminary and I asked my students if they would like to do the Seminary in a Sack. They all said yes, so here I am trying to find ideas for the Scripture Mastery Passages. Seminary in a Sack is a small sack that I give to the students. When they have passed off a Scripture Mastery I give them a small item to put into the sack. At the end of the year I give a poster to the students who want one if they have passed off all of their Scripture Mastery. I have posted all the…
