Here are two helps for teaching the book of Ezekiel. Click on the picture to download the two handouts. The first is for teaching Ezekiel 38-39. Those chapters describe the battle of Gog and Magog that is prior to the Lord’s return. In those chapters it mentions a bunch of nations and places that will be involved. The older Institute manual said what each of those places were that would fight against Israel (Iran, Russia…) while the newer manual (post 1989) has it taken out because of the post cold war world environment. It is very interesting as these relationships are being formed in the Middle East today.
The second help has to do with the temple described in Ezekiel 47. Sometimes students worry the Second Coming could come any day. This glue in and quote from Joseph Smith make it very clear that certain events (such as the building of the temple in Jerusalem) MUST happen before the Lord’s return. It is fun to read the quote and try to identify which have happened and which have not.
It is a shame we can’t spend more time in Psalms and Proverbs. Here is a worksheet that will help your class get some to some of the highlights of Proverbs. Click on the image here to get the worksheet. The first two pages are the handout for your class (you can copy front and back). The last two pages are a key you can use.
This has been one of the most enjoyable activities I have done with Seminary students. I got the idea years ago from Brother M. Ashton and have used it ever since. The first time I tried it, I wasn’t sure how willingly the students would participate. But I have always been pleasantly surprised with how willing and amazing their personal psalms of praise were. The creative writing assignment on the worksheet is pretty self explanatory.
After they have all turned their papers in, read the ones that you have been given permission on. After you read those I read the other’s privately and sometimes I have asked again if it is ok to read their publicly. After they hear others, they often are then ok with people hearing theirs.
Ok. I guess I've posted a few worksheets lately. I promise that the next post will be a Scripture Mastery game.
But here are 2 worksheets that will work great with teaching 2nd Kings. The first is matching with the many miracles of Elisha. The second is a worksheet that uses the teaching ideas in the Teacher Resource Manual for 2nd Kings 6 through the end of 2nd Kings.
There are so many great lessons about temples, and temple dedications in 1st Kings 6-9 with the building of King Solomon’s Temple. This worksheet will take you through many of those lessons.
Here is a worksheet based on the great teaching idea from the Student Study Guide for 2nd Samuel 11. I like to start the chapter asking them to start reading the first verses and to look for where King David started to go wrong in the chapter. A great discussion about staying away from temptations can come from this.
The Israelites wanted a king so they could be more like the other people and nations around them. They wanted to fit in. After you teach 1st Samuel 8, this worksheet will help you and your students explore this same idea in our lives. Make copies and break students into pairs to go through the worksheet. Then go through it as a class. After asking the class how similar church members are in that area, make sure you then ask, “How can we do better as Church members?” Make sure to read President Kimball’s quote in the manual.
