> Have you looked at Kim's trading cards?  They are pretty cool.  I hate to
offer bribes but this one might offer it's own reward.  I would make a pack
and pass them out until they are gone and then print up another pack - I
think it would take them quite a while to "earn" all 70 (especially when you
don't have 70 for each kid printed up!)  I think it would encourage the
"trading" as well.  And you could offer the smaller bribes - collecting
certain things within the cards, all the prophets, tribes, women, etc.

they are.  (or it could even determine if they think they are cool enough to
read and memorize for)

thing at the end, with no hope for partial credit, like the "Scriptorian"
award at the end of the year.  My kids seem to have a hard time looking at
the "big picture".

cards...
