I recall some people telling about March Madness competitions for SM. With it approaching quickly, can someone refresh my memory on your ideas?

Thanks,
Tracy

> For January and "SuperBowl" season in the U.S. here are two ideas: 
> 
> 1. Bring a large bowl to class (a Super Bowl) and have the students 
> write on small slips of paper problems that teens struggle with. 
> (Encourage them to be specific with real problems their friends might 
> be encountering. All entries are anonymous.) Put the papers in the 
> bowl. The students take turns drawing out the problems and 
> suggesting how Scripture Mastery verses might help solve those 
> problems. Makes a good readiness activity or an exercise for a whole 
> class period. 
> 
> 2. For a game, mark a football grid on the floor with masking tape 
> (simply a few parallel lines at even intervals between two imaginary 
> goals.) Place a football (regulation size or toy size) at the center 
> or 50-yard line. Divide the class into teams and line them up on the 
> "sidelines" of your football field. Give a Scripture Mastery clue. 
> The first team to find it (all team members with their scriptures 
> open to the verse and standing to indicate they have done it) gets to 
> move the football one line in the direction of their goal post.Thus 
> the ball moves back and forth during play. When a team scores a goal 
> by reaching the end of the field, begin a new round at the 50-yard 
> line. If you have NASCAR fans in your class you can adapt this game. 
> Divide into multiple teams or individuals. Give each a toy car 
> ("Hotwheels"). Mark a race track -- oval, straight, figure 8, 
> whatever -- with masking tape in parallel lines at even 
> intervals. Give the Scripture Mastery clue and the first team to get 
> it moves their car forward one marker. Occasionally throw in a 
> really difficult OT trivia question and the winning team gets to move 
> forward two places or three depending on the difficulty of the question.
