Book of Mormon Zarahemla Olympics for the ZAP game.

This year was the Winter Olympics so I wanted to incorporate it into my Seminary class, but I think that you could play this game at any time.  This post is just the printouts for the Zarahemla Olympics.  To learn how to play the Zap game just click Here.

Zap is a fun game where you ask the students questions and when they answer they get a point and then pick a zap card from the board.  The card can give them more points, or take away points, or switch points, ets.




Here are the printouts for the Zarahemla Olympics:










The questions I just took from the reading..  I had them follow along with their Book of Mormons and asked them in order so that if they were paying attention it was easy to answer.

Here's a couple of my question sheets:









Captain Moroni's Title of Liberty Activity

One of the fun things that we did as a seminary class this year was have each student make their own Title of Liberty.  Here's how I did it.


I bought an old white sheet set at Goodwill.  It was only a couple of dollars after I pointed out a few stains to them.  When I got them home I ripped them into squares that were 14 inches by 12 inches.  I cut a notch at 7 inches on one of the sides and a notch at 6 inches on the other side.  This way the students could tear the sheet as a group.  I felt like allowing them to tear gave a little bit of the feeling of what Captain Moroni did.

I handed out a bunch of colored sharpie markers and each student got a wood shish kabob skewer.  They were to write on their Title of Liberty the things that they felt were important to them.  When they were done they poked the wooden skewer through one end to make a flag.

Here are a few examples of the flags my students made:





It was a fun activity that the students will remember..

"Believe in God and Yourself" quote by Jeffrey R. Holland Printout, Believe in the Book of Mormon Printout - Easy and Cheap Gift for LDS




It's the end to another year of LDS Seminary.  This year we studied the Book of Mormon.  I always give the students a gift at the end of the year.  Here is what I came up with:



I love this quote from Jeffrey R. Holland - "Believe in God and Yourself.  You are doing better than you think you are!"

I made this printout and put it in some dollar store 4x6 picture frames.  Here is the printout.  If you want to use them just right click on the picture and copy it or save it into your pictures.

Then I tied a jute bow around the frame and added a tag that said "Believe in the Book of Mormon".



Here's the printout for "Believe in the Book of Mormon".  I printed mine out on gold cardstock that I bought at Walmart.


I also gave them this "Believe" washer with a leather necklace that I bought on Amazon.  I told them they could wear it as a necklace or make it into a bracelet.


Here are the links to by these items:


This means that both gifts together came to about $1.60!  
Not bad for when your buying for 30 students.

The kids seemed to really like it.  I saw a lot of them wearing them at the breakfast the next day.

I showed this short video from Elder L. Whitney Clayton called "Choose to Believe."

It turned out to be a great lesson!
