[Teachldsseminary] Any Scripture Mastery Game Ideas?

[Esemmom at aol.com]

I have 23 ninth graders and we just did a fun one for a large group.   It's 
called "Fruit Basket".  It is from the CES Conference in 2002, by  Sister Jody 
VanDrimmelen.  This is on the CES website under other resources  for teachers.
 
Fruit Basket 
 
   Make six to eight  movement cards, such as "Move three chairs to the  
right" or Move one chair to the left."  Make one fruit  basket card, which means 
everyone must switch chairs.  Divide  your class into two teams with the chairs 
facing each  other.  Give a scripture mastery clue. Have  the teams race to 
find the scripture and stand when each member has found the  correct scripture. 
 The first team all standing gets ten points and then  draws a movement card. 
 The whole class does what the card says.  This  is a fun game because you 
really don't know what team you will be on when the  game ends until the last 
movement card has been drawn and executed.
 
They really enjoyed it.  You just have to make sure they don't stand  while 
still turning pages to find the SM.  I had them sit wwith their hand  on the 
opened page.  Then watch their teammates and when they have all got  their hands 
on their books, then they can stand.
