Someone wrote about doing it in a classroom with backpacks. Works great remotely. But some were: a pen, a shoe, a shoelace, paperclip, book, hairbrush, nickel, calculator, chapstick, things you would find in a backpack. I assigned students to groups. Each group had a short list of DM scriptures to read over together. I placed them into breakout rooms so they could read and discuss their scriptures. They only had to choose 2 or 3 scriptures out of the 5 on their lists. This gave them options and more control over their activity.
However, it got every child involved in reading all 5 verses intently because they knew they were searching for "the best ones" that they could collect items to represent. The students were to find items from around their homes to represent a part, a word, or an action from the scriptures. For instance, "Feast upon the word" the group got a fork and knife and a spatula. For strength and power they got a hand weight and a chain saw from the garage.
For Adam fell, they got a lego man and threw him off the table haha! After 15 minutes uin the breakout rooms with me popping back and forth to mo it them, we all met back together to share. Each group took turns. They read the 1st scripture they had chosen, told what it meant to them and then shared their scavenger hunt items. I had 4 or 5 [students] per group. However, you could really tailor the size of the group to your students.
Really clever and engaged students could even do it as partners. Morgan W - I sent each student a DM verse in chat, privately. Then they had to find an item in the house to represent it. The other students guessed what their verse was. Just assigned yesterday so we will see how it works.
One teacher had the students text her the memes, so she shared them from her phone, saying "when you use screen share it pops up with several options Jeopardy is a fantastic game for seminary! I've used it to review material, train new students how to use the scripture study helps, and review doctrinal mastery.
You can make your own games using some of these free online templates:. From Laura T - We discovered this morning that the online Jeopardy works really well!! We positioned the class into gallery mode at the top of the Zoom screen then had them post a reaction in place of buzzing in to respond. They used the clapping hands emoji as it's a little bigger and easier to see than the "raise a hand" function.
The kids practiced doing it a few times before we started the game. It worked really well! Just thought I would pass on this little tip as I know we are all working hard to adapt to the online platform! Our stake 3 seminary classes combined this morning to do this activity so now its time for results feedback for those interested in knowing how it went. We had about 40 kids so we had 4 rooms running at once. By time we got done with opening exercises the kids had 25 mins to "escape the room".
One group finished in about 15 mins but another group worked right til the very end with help from the host. All of the groups started with the puzzle so I suggest hiding the pieces to that really well or putting the pieces with the cellphone clue on the back Jame in the boxes.
That way even if they start with the puzzles they have to solve the other puzzles and open the boxes before they can finish it and access the phone. One girl who has actually studied and memorized the DM was able to make the leap to the scripture 2 Timothy within 5 mins!!! Her and her group continued to figure out the puzzles though.
One other note - make sure the hosts are giving leading clues if the kids need help and not giving obvious clues. For instance. I've made a virtual escape room for my class's live seminary class this Thursday I'm an online seminary teacher, so it's business as usual for our class. It's over mosiah19 and mosiah20 , in case it is helpful for anyone else too.
Students have to work together to answer the questions to determine the clues to move through the game they are a Nephite trying to follow Alma. Update: I had to edit a glitch in one of the tasks, so that changed the code for Task 5. It is now as follows: pcwsaf. I've updated the PDF to match. For those who are looking for the answer key to the Book of Mormon Virtual Escape Room mosiah19 and mosiah20 , I've attached it to this post.
It wouldn't let me add it in a comment to the original post, so sorry about that! I hope this helps, and let me know if anyone runs into any difficulties with it! I'm going to be using it for the first time with my class on Thursday, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. We did this today. I emailed the escape room link to 3 students before class. I put the class into 3 break out rooms and then the students shared their screens and they could advance at their own speed and they typed things in.
Just make sure you fix the settings to allow a non-host to share screen. We had 4 students to a room and it worked great. Everyone participated. When you are in a meeting. It is easiest if the students in charge have a computer, but I had one with an iPad and it worked fine.
If they use an iPad, they need to cut and paste the url to share content. Everyone else in the room is fine on a phone. In order to make a copy of this escape room so you can edit it yourself, go to This google form. Hillary made a help video that is hosted on FB. Hi, everyone! As some of you may have seen, there has been a lot of interest in the bookofmormonvirtualescaperoom , and I'm so glad people have enjoyed it.
I recently created a new one for my onlineseminary class. We are getting close to the end of our semester, so it probably will be our last one. It goes over alma5 , specifically the last half. I've included a PDF with the script, answer key, and resources.
This one is a bit harder than the original, with more puzzles to solve. I'm estimating it will take around 30 minutes, give or take, based on the few people who have gone through it already. Update: I thought the words for the crosswords were included in this answer key, but apparently I neglected that.
I can't change the PDF without making a new post, which I want to avoid, but here are the words for each crossword no particular order :. Task 4 Crossword: pride, persecution, trample, riches, wickedness, persist, costly, apparel, poor. If this occurs, you can make your own puzzle using the Puzzel maker link in the PDF. I've included the image in the comments that I made so you can download and use it, but feel free to use your own if you prefer. It is just an image of Alma in fancy font.
Online Game Form. The students used clues and scriptures from 1 Nephi to help them solve the puzzle. I've attached the materials below. The first page has the flow chart and solutions. The game finishes with President Nelsons call to the youth battalion and gathering Isreal. We had a lot of fun! From Elisa Z. I just wanted to share something that went well with my class today.
We played Doctrinal Mastery Battleship. It might be hard to share because I created it in Adobe Indesign software. Not everyone has that program and you need to be able to add the hit or miss symbols in live time.
But I'm sure you could recreate it in other ways. I've attached the photos of what it looked like. It was really great using screen share on zoom. The board with the blue x's and red o's are the students attempts at 'firing'. The board that shows the ships is what I had printed out in front of me as the kids made their guesses. I also had the ability to show them the ships at the end of the game. But it was hidden while they played.
And the last board was the rules of the game. We have a running scoreboard for all the games we play. The top three with the most points at the end of the semester get a treat.
The part that isn't visible is the conversation we had. Everyone took turns taking a 'shot'. Every time there was a 'hit', we scripture chased one of our scriptures from the Book of Mormon. Then we would read the scripture, identify which category from doctrinal mastery it came from atonement, ASK, etc.
We had great conversations and it was fun, too. As a teacher, I think it's a good game because it creates an opportunity for students that are not 'speedy' at chasing to gain points too. It's kind of luck-of-the-draw on sinking the ships because you have to have it be your turn to sink it and they don't really know what size ship they are hitting when they guess.
Really good at leveling the field with overly competitive players. Q - Awesome! When you scripture chase, do you just call out a random doctrinal mastery from the Book of Mormon or it is associated with the particular hit they got? A - I do random. I've been focusing on them in groups. So sometimes I have them pre-selected. Your choice. Q - Is one ship associated with one DM or is a different DM called out when they get a new hit on the ship?
From Linda S. I made a simple grid on Word and shared it. We put in Xs and Os as they chose the squares. It was fun! A - I just put the cities in myself [but the students could not see the cities grid.
Only the teacher could see the grid. Students could keep track of shots on the shared Word document - Jenny] Some files These files are not related to the OP, but they are DM battleship files shared in the group from years past:. I used a rolling chalkboard to place between the two teams. If you're looking for ways to help Seminary students retain Doctrinal Mastery passages, you can use brain science plus a little bit of basketball to get better results.
It's March Madness Doctrinal Mastery brackets! It's not fluff -- it's science! Read on to find out how it works. You make a bracket that contains all or most of the doctrinal mastery passages for the year.
Students are able to choose or are assigned passages to match against each other. Students describe the meaning of their assigned passage s and explain why it is important. It is most commonly used for doctrinal mastery, however, it can be used as a teaching technique for other passages as well. These scripture brackets always seem to be fun activities that engage students in ways you may find surprising.
But the DM bracket is more than just a fluff activity! According to the book Brain Rules by John Medina, the key is that brains remember things that are more elaborate -- things that have personal meaning. Many studies have shown that students remember more when they learn meaning versus memorizing by rote. People who think about meaning remember two to three times as much as others who do not.
For maximum results with the bracket, you will want to block out time over a few days. Perhaps you have playoff, quarterfinal, semifinal, and final matches scheduled over days. The reason for spreading this out is, again, brain science. Spaced repetition is key for remembering. Another way to maximize results using brain science would be to have students do role-plays where they might use this passage in real life and then vote on Most Likely to Use.
We know that similarities between present and past events help us connect memories. Assign each student a DM scripture, make bracket. By Heidi M : A - exactly correct! Q - How do you do the voting? Raise of hands? If they win and present again, do they present the same thing?
In my class we vote between the 2, yep It's great for repetition and memorizing the doctrinal mastery scriptures. We vote by raising hands. Jenny S - [description of BoM bracket] Did our bracket today -- and the winner was Ether !
We only did 16 SM passages because we got started late due to the supposed snow which didn't come. But this was a fun activity. I had kids nominate scriptures, but I decided not to make them defend their own scripture so that it wasn't like "mine lost". Instead we just read them aloud and discussed. The last two brackets went fast, but the first took some time. Worked great and was lots of fun, PLUS it really got this kids thinking about what the SM passages were about and talking important doctrines.
Thanks for this great idea! A - Yes, we did it all during one class, [it took] about 35 minutes. First I had students read each passage aloud. I called for a vote. After the first bracket, we didn't read the scriptures--just used the bookmarks or summarized. Brief discussion. By the final vote I had them vote silently bc they were getting into it. You could limit the discussion to a few seconds per scripture with a timer if you wanted, but some scriptures were rejected out of hand like "Be ye therefore perfect" got 0 votes because "it doesn't tell you how to be perfect," so that was a fast one.
