The Book of Mormon Project - Bookmarks for your favorite scriptures along with your testimony

The CES challenged the students to mark their favorite scriptures in a Book of Mormon and then to give it to someone that they had prayed about.  We wanted to do this as a Seminary with the "Meet the Mormons" project.  We gave the students a Book of Mormon along with this handout so that they could mark the Book of Mormons at home.  Here it is:

After the students have cut out the bookmarks and the testimony box, have them highlight their favorite scriptures.  Have them place a bookmark by the favorite scripture with an explanation of why they like that scripture.  Then have them write their testimony in the testimony box and glue inside the front of the Book of Mormon.  Challenge them to pray about who they should give it to.  Make sure you make one for yourself!

Here is our "Meet the Mormons" Notebook that we put together:

Create a "Meet the Mormons" - "I'm a Mormon" Book

With the new "Meet the Mormons" Movie that is out, and all of the fun "and I'm a Mormon" videos that are out, our Seminary decided to make a book to give to our Stake President.  Here is how we did it:

Here is the cover of ours:

We printed everything out on white card-stock.  If you want to use the one below, just click on the picture to make it large.  Then right click and save it into your pictures or copy and paste it into your print program.

I designed a more generic cover if you would like to use it:

Then on the first page we put this song.  It is our Stake President's favorite song:

Here is another version done in the chalk board style:

Then we made copies of the page below for each student. We had previously taken pictures of each student so that they were already to go.  We then had them each fill out their own.

Here is a sample one that I did of my daughter:

After they had completed an "I'm a Mormon" sheet we sent them out with a Book of Mormon and this handout to help them know how to prepare for sharing it with a friend. Just click on it if you want to get a copy.

The students had a lot of fun making the book 

and our Stake President loved it!

I hope yours turns out great.

How to let the Seminary Students teach themselves with no help from you! -Doctrine and Covenants 38, Lesson 42 & 43 Lesson Plan for Seminary

On Halloween I surprised my class by making waffles.  I knew that I would be busy, so I broke up lesson 42 and 43 into small parts so that each student had a section.  I have 26 students, so I needed to use both lessons.  The parts that we didn't get to we finished the next day.  This is how I assigned who got what part of the lesson.

You could do this with any lesson.  I adapted my lessons from the manual by make a few small changes and then broke it up into 25 separate parts (one for each student). I printed out the lesson as it is typed below.  I cut up the lesson by numbers.  Then I folded each part of the lesson and wrote the number on the outside of the folded paper.  I placed the papers in order in a small box and placed the box at the top of the sign in sheet.  As the students came in they took the number out of the box that corresponded with their sign in number.  

Here is the lesson that I did.  It is almost exactly the same as in the manual, except a few little quirks to accommodate having all the students teach it.  To use it click on it to make it large, then right click on your mouse.  You can either copy  and paste it, or save it into you pictures and print it in your printing program.

I hope that this lesson works out for you.  

It really worked out great for my class.  The students always impress me with their knowledge. We got all of it done in time, and I was free to cook waffles while the students taught.

A "Missionary Handbook" Workbook to aid in the study of D&C 30-34 or/and D&c 42 or Doctrinal Mastery

Call your seminary students on a mission.  They will love it!

I put together this book to help my Seminary class study the D&C  or the Doctrinal Mastery for missionary work.  I have done this over several years and have found that my students love being called on a mission!  It makes this project seem worth it.

I first called my students on a mission.  I did this by letting them choose an envelope with a mission call in it.   They had to locate the other student who had the same call as them.   Here is a generic version of the letter that I gave them:

Seminary D&C Mission Call:
Seminary Mission Call D&C Word Document

Seminary Doctrinal Mastery Mission Call:

Seminary Mission call Doctrinal Mastery Word Document

Once each students had their mission calls they put a sticker on the map and wrote their names next to it.  The map I had printed as an engineer copy at Staples for only $2.

Map:

After the students have marked their mission on the map you can give them a name tag.  This one fits the Avery address label 5163.

Name Tag:

Here are the printouts for the Handbook.  Be sure to use card-stock for the cover.

Doctrine and Covenants Cover:

Doctrinal Mastery Cover

D&C 30-35

Second set of pages:

D&C 42

Doctrinal Mastery

Quote from President Russell M. Nelson

Here is how I assembled it.  I cut the first set of pages and the second set of pages into 4 equal quarters.  

Then I put the piles in order. 

 See the picture below:

Fold the cover over then place the pages inside the cover.  

Staple along the folded edge.  
It helps if you have a heavy duty stapler.

For a snack I served Missionary Munchies.  To see how to make them click on the picture above.

D&C Scripture Mastery #8 18:15-16 Test Practice Test Plus Game Ideas

Here is the practice test:

And here is the back side:

Here are the games that I played with this test:

Say it fast:

I had each student say it as fast as they can.  After several tries we timed it to see who could say it the fastest.

Write it fast:

This is a lot like the one in the D&C Manual but I decided to change it up a little bit.  I gave everyone a piece of paper.  Then I divided them into groups of  3.  When I said go they all had to start writing.  When I said switch, they had to all switch, and then write where the other person left off (this way everyone is writing, not one person).  The first group to finish writing all three of their scripture masteries won.

Here is the target that I made to go with this Scripture Mastery.
