Learn the names of all the apostles and prophets with Apostle Swat It. First place one apostle's photo on the table. Have two people in front of a table, each with a fly swatter. Flip two name cards over at the same time. The person who swats the correct name first gets to go again. The other person sits down and gives someone else a turn. OR you can place all the names out at the same time and flip the photo card over to make it harder. Make it extra fun by sticking tape on the end of the fly swatter so it grabs the card as well.

Also, check out these other fun versions of Spot It:. Spot It! When the person in the front of the line receives the message, then they need to stand up and recite the words of the scripture. At the start of the year, we accepted when students just knew what the scripture was about or the gist of the scripture.
At the end of the year, I required them to know it almost word perfect. For this game, I broke out my coin jar from my closet and brought it to class. Each student got 15 coins. The game works by the students carrying their coins with them in their hands. They walk up to another student in the class and pair off.
Then, I called out a scripture mastery reference. The two students would quickly try and recite the words to the scripture mastery. If they both know it, then the winner is the one who finishes it fastest. The winner between each pair then takes one of the tokens from the losing student. You can only face a particular student one time during the game, so each time a student will find a new partner.
Eventually, there will be one student who is the scripture champion of the day. I gave him a Twinkie as a reward. Make three or four horizontal rows facing the front of the class. The goal of this game is to move up to the front of the class. I would show a reference to a scripture mastery and all of the students at once would begin reciting the scripture out loud.
It would become obvious that some of the students knew the verse well, and others did not. They would get bumped up to the row in front of them. If it was a vote down, the opposite would be true. The row receiving the new player would have to decide on someone to move out so they could fit in.
Prep Time and Items : A big thing of puffed cheeseballs or cheetos, and a couple pieces of paper. This game was a yearly tradition in my class and students talked and laughed about it regularly. Two teams. You say a scripture mastery and 3 students on a side have to stand up as soon as they know the reference. As soon as a team has 3 people who know it, then you ask one of them what it was. The correctly answering student is handed a crumpled piece of paper. A large target is drawn on the chalkboard.
The correctly answering student must throw the crumpled paper and hit the target. If they hit the center ring, they get 3 points, 2 for the middle ring, one for the outside ring.
Two actually. The losing team has a player lay on the ground on their back under the chalkboard. The second twist was what made the students laugh uncontrollably and really made the game silly and fun.
It also helps the students learn the scripture masteries well because multiple people on each team must know the answer. Just give it a try. The winning team gets a few puffed cheeseballs each from one of those giant plastic jars of cheeseballs that you can buy inexpensively at Walmart.
Prep Time and Items : A crumpled piece of paper and two trash cans, or else a basketball and a gym. Use a paper ball as your basketball. Sometimes we played this game in the classroom, and sometimes in the gym with a normal basketball since we met in a church building. I often found that students could easily memorize references, but I wanted them to learn HOW to use the scriptures.
So for this game I would explain a life situation and ask the students what scripture mastery they could use to help the person in the situation. What scripture could remind you to not participate?
There will likely be a few scriptures that could be good answers, and all should be accepted if they can be reasonably justified.
The team who won the point can always take the ball from the opposing team if they can reach the ball, and then can pass the ball 3 times to their own team without moving their feet. The opposing team must stay still, but can wave their arms to block passes or shots. A crumpled piece of paper is placed in the center of the room on the ground and all tables chairs should be out of the way. The players are in a line on their team. The two players in the front of the line are asked a scripture mastery question.
Prep Time and Items : Be sure each team of students has at least one cell phone among the group. This game is great because students can use their cell phones, which they always enjoy. It also is a good opportunity for students to share a scripture on their social media when the game is over.
Split the class into small teams of four. If your class doesn't know the answer, have someone come up and act it out or draw it on the board instead of answering it for them. Introduce what you'll be talking about by doing a round of Pictionary.
Ask an application question and have everyone draw or act out their answer. For example: What will you share this week? A 7 year old class can act out bouncing a basketball or draw a picture of a hug.
I love doing it with application questions because it helps ingrain the lesson. Put several gospel pictures up on the whiteboard and play I Spy to get your class to guess which scripture story you will be learning about that Sunday.

Then take turns asking each other questions. When you answer correctly, you can insert a checker. First to get four in a row wins. You can use the classic Connect 4 game or draw an outline of it on the board and use different colored markers to play. You could simplify this by playing Tic-Tac-Toe instead.
Each person in this game wears a headband with a card. They then ask yes or no questions to discover what it is. Use it to open a lesson or review your lesson at the end.
You will have to make the cards ahead of time though. Don't worry, you can write words instead of drawing pictures as long as your class can read. You could also ask your class to draw their answer on 3x5 cards and put it on a different person's headband so you class is guessing each other's cards. Print 10 free LDS themed cards here.
