Our LDS high-school age youth, attend Seminary all 4 years of High School. It is such a big commitment for them (and their teachers) to come to class each day from 6:20 to 7:20 am before school. It's not mandatory and so it is all the more AMAZING that they show up each morning on time and with great attitudes.
I have 14 truly remarkable students that I am teaching the Old Testament to each morning!
Here are my Super Sophomores!!!
Here are some pictures of lessons and object lessons (their favorite).
Gotta keep it interesting or you lose them!!
Lesson on "Jacob's Ladder"
We are studying Moses right now so I decided to surprise the kids by dressing up
like Moses on Halloween morning! The kids couldn't believe it! We went "trick-o-treating" to the other two classrooms saying "Freshmen ... let my people go!!!" They loved it!!!
In addition to a lesson each day, we are memorizing 25 scriptures from the Old Testament ... so on Friday we play games that help us to memorize them. GREAT FUN!!
Blow-up a balloon, tie it, pop it to find the scripture clue ....
Everyone on your team must find the scripture and stand-up before
the next person can run down and pick the next
balloon ... good times!!
Or how about Scripture Chariot Racing?
I give a key word, they look up the scripture and when everyone has it they can race their "chariot" around the trash can and back for a point!
Nothing like spending your mornings with teens to get your day off to a fun start!
Even though its a lot of work ..... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

The "chariots" are hilarious! You put so much time and effort into planning each lesson and the kids can totally feel it! (Especially awesome Fridays) You were meant to do this!
PS: No really, it's time to change your facebook picture - either Moses or the pineapple shot. I will be waiting.
