[Teachldsseminary] TEACH: JEREMIAH 1

[Linda Harper]

For an introduction to Jeremiah, I played a battle field game with the
following questions:

 

 

Have them fill in the grids from a sheet of squares 5 across and five down
with a symbol to represent the following:

		
	
18 = SCRIPTURE POWER PELLETS = 5 POINTS

	
1  =  ON THE RIGHT PATH = 100 POINTS

	
	
1  = RIGHTEOUS HEART = 100 POINTS

	
	
1  = BOMB (LOSE ALL POINTS)

	
	
1  = Lost the battle (LOSE 25 POINTS)

	
	
3 = SMILES - 20 POINTS

		
						
						

 Ask questions and have them answer true or false. Then go over the answers.
If they are correct, the teacher randomly picks from the grid (A1).  The
students keep track of their points and the highest one wins some candy.

 

A lot of fun and a good way to ask questions.  Used this with true false
about the gold plates in an introductory lesson.
