[Teachldsseminary] Help: Easter egg SM game

Tue Mar 18 10:19:11 MDT 2008

We do this activity every year with my class and they love it.  We are on
spring break this week, so we will do it Monday when we return from break.
Hope your class enjoys it.

>From Nancy Brower - "Scripturegg Hunt" - O.T. version. I'll include the
Scoresheet, also the "master sheet of random clues w/references & page
#"....but first an explanation for those who're wondering what a
"scripturegg" is: 

PREPARATION

Buy individually wrapped candy eggs (I combine Reese's, Cadbury, Chocolate
Covered Marshmallow (my personal favorite...this is actually a fairly
dangerous activity for me)...If I have 18-20 kids in my class, I've found
that 50 eggs is a good number. I scotch-tape the random # & clue on each egg
(keeping the master list of course so I know which clue goes with which
number)

CLASS SET-UP

Since my class was in the Primary room, I had all the chairs taken down the
day before...telling the kids we won't be meeting there the next day; you
need to get there EARLY (at least 30-45 min) the next day & set up all the
chairs in the hallway outside the Primary Room (allowing limited access to
retrieve their scriptures); I literally hid those eggs only in the Primary
Room (when you turn on lights and open the folding doors, they walk in and
cannot "see" even one...(I told them I will not hide any inside the piano,
or in my cupboard...) but I've found a few great places: tucked behind a
flyer stapled to a bulletin board; masking taped everywhere (bottoms of
tables, backs of folded chairs, on the ledge outside the window, underneath
the trash basket, etc.) + I tuck one into the hem of the drapes, pull out
the plastic trash bag & put one in then put the bag back on...it's amazing
where you find places)

AS KIDS COME, have them get their scriptures (or have them out on a table),
pair them up (whoever happens to be sitting next to you is your partner),
hand each pair a length of wide ribbon (or whatever) w/instructions to tie
their inside legs together between ankle & knee; hand each pair a
scoresheet, with instructions to only find ONE EGG AT A TIME (others
confiscated & put where anyone can find & claim), then they RETURN TO THEIR
DESK, look up the reference and write the PAGE # on their scoresheet, along
with the Clue # on the egg. Then they're free to find more eggs. THEY ARE
NOT ALLOWED TO EAT ANY UNTIL AT THE END, after you've had them by team call
out clue # & page # (if they're wrong, teacher gets the egg...and I keep
'em!...hoping that someone will blow it on a marshmellow one)...also you
need to COUNT total eggs every once in a while, and keep 'em going until
they're all found. Usually, we get to the point where 18 kids are standing
in the middle of an empty room and told there are still "7 more left"..

OK, here's the score sheet & clue master list:

Subject: [Teachldsseminary] Help: Easter egg SM game

Last year I remember seeing an idea for doing an easter egg hunt for
seminary using the SM scriptures.  I can't find my copy and was wondering if
anyone on the list could direct me to that game. 

  Thanks for your help!
