Life sized PAC MAN combined activity
By JOLLY ROGERS For a recent combined activity, we needed to make decorations for a dance we were hosting the following weekend, but we knew it wouldn’t take the entire time and wanted to have something fun to look forward to after the work was done… We decided on a Life-Sized Pac-Man game! I originally saw the idea on a…
The First Week: Study Helps Jeopardy – Mentors/Minions
During the first week of Seminary, it’s suggested that you teach a lesson on the study helps in the scriptures to help students get more out of their gospel study. New Testament Study Helps Jeopardy is an online Jeopardy-style game I made for my class to use for this purpose this year. It’s slanted toward New Testament. Some of these…
Young Women Value Quest
In this “quest for value” the young women will be divided into two teams with at least one leader each. They will play 7 games relating to 7 of the YW values and, at the end, should emerge with 8 value-colored flags. The way to win is to complete all of the games and get all of the flags before…
Daddy / Daughter game (Newlywed style)

Split the fathers and daughters and while fathers were making and enjoying their own rootbeer float, we asked questions…

We had a JELLO collection box in the foyer for everyone to donate old food storage. We then started planning the JELLO Festival we had: Jello taste-testing:…
Scripture Mastery Mix it Up
So today for scripture mastery, I passed out a sheet of 25 picture representations for each of the 25 scripture mastery scriptures. I gave the students five minutes to write out all of the references they could figure out for each picture representation. For the second set of five minutes I let them use their scriptures to fill in any…
The Importance of Following Directions
Then to give a break from the reading (and to rouse the sleepy-headed students), I passed out a “3-Minute Test.” This was a quick little quiz to test “obedience” and precision to directions. You can easily make your own. Start off by announcing that they are to read through the entire test before doing anything. But then have a series…
Bucket Game
Everyone stands in a circle (alternate boy/girl if possible). Everyone holds hands. There is a bucket or a large trash can in the center (just short enough to jump over if needed). Everyone can try to pull each other so that someone either touches the trash can (which gets them out) or get two people to let go of their…
