My goal is to have a 15-20 minute lesson which will leave 15-20 minutes of March Madness Games.

A fun way to incorporate March Madness into your teaching

It used to be a tradition in our building to hold Turkey Bowl scripture mastery competition between the 4 classes. The game we used has nothing to do with Thanksgiving so it can be used any time of the year, whenever you’d like to have all the kids get together.

This activity requires some kind of a fake pumpkin, something that can be thrown without risk of harm to the building or the students.  At times you can find cloth bean bags or foam pumpkins.

This is a variation of the Scripture Mastery Basketball game.

World Series is a fun, interactive way for students to review lesson material.

The object of the game is for each student to score as many “two-point” buckets as possible, while the other students open their scriptures to the scripture mastery scripture.

This game never fails to get everyone involved, having fun, and working on SM recognition.

Here is a game that was designed for a Christmas activity, but can easily be adapted for any time of year. In place of the Christmas stockings, use a container of some kind appropriate to your time or year or holiday. I provided some Old Testament clues, but you can also substitute object clues for other years.

Each team gets a chance to answer a question correctly. If they answer correctly, they can roll the dice and do what’s on the dice.

Different lesson ideas to tie March Madness into your lessons.

Scripture Mastery Golf

Get your class involved with a Seminary variation of March Madness.

I put the questions into a "batter's box" and the batter had to come up and pick the question. Let them use scriptures, scripture mastery cards, etc. but they only had 30 seconds to answer.

As soon as a team has every member find the scripture, one person from that team can begin to shoot. Point are only given for baskets.

The two servers race against each other to find the correct scripture.  First one to find it serves. Then have fun playing volleyball.

Make scripture chasing much more exciting by playing "Bucket Ball".

Give SM Clues. The students must keep track (record on score card) of the number of pages they have to turn to find the correct SM reference in their scriptures.  Lowest score possible is “one” because it takes at least one to open the book. Play 18 holes.

We are scripture chasing and doing review and trivia questions throughout the month.

I will have questions and challenges printed on colored paper, cut into strips, mixed up and placed in a jar on the table.  Whenever we play our games the students will draw from the jar to answer a question for points or they will have to do the challenge that is listed.
