[Teachldsseminary] IDEA for ONE?

[Gma124 at aol.com]

Rebus's are great!  Pictures substituted for words. I write the  verse on the 
board.  If we do 2 or 3 verses I usually get  the rolling chalkboard from 
another classroom and use that plus my chalkboard in  the classroom.  Or you 
could already have the verses prewritten on  poster board or something else and 
you could just use strips of paper to  draw on and put them over the words. 
We've learned many verses this  way.  I have 4 in my class that are there on time 
for SM every  morning.  (2 come in later--but that's a whole different 
issure!) We do not  have Fridays to work on SM, our CES here has asked us to move 
right through the  manual taking 5 minutes every morning for SM.  It has been a 
huge  challenge.  I get involved with the rebus's and do it as well.  I  always 
like to be the one to learn the verse first then everyone seems to think  if 
she can do it...I can too.  We try and repeat the verse after every 3rd  or 
4th clue. We have a great time with this.  My class is very small too  but your 
challenge is a painful one and I definitely feel your pain.  My  class is very 
quiet...so doing anything that is rowdy does NOT go over at  all.  
 
STUMP THE TEACHER might also be a good one to use.  Your student could  use 
the Scripture Index using words from the hymns to use as clues or using  the 
topical guide or any cross-reference or key words and try to stump you,  
pantoming, etc.  Everytime she stumps you she gets a point.  Everytime  you stump her 
you get the point.  Candy works as rewards...bubblegum,  anything she 
particularly likes.  It works for the real competitive kids  and it could work with 
one student and it also works with my shy ones
 
You probably already do these two things....but I like you am challenged as  
far as knowing just how to make this a fun creative rewarding thing for my  
kids--but hey, we've only got one more verse to go and we will have them all  
memorized!  Whew!  Our chart is full of stickers!!!
 
Good luck!
