Moses 1:39 Chalkboard Printout "Eternal Life of Man"



I created this printout to give to my seminary class at the end of the year.  If you would like to use it just right click your mouse and save it into your pictures, or copy and paste it into your printing program.

It is sized for an 4x6 printout.  I had it professionally printed at Costco.  Then I placed it in a dollar store frame and gave it with a treat at the end of the year.

LDS New Testament Seminary Lesson Handouts





Sometimes I like to give the students a journal sized handout that goes with the lesson.  As I do these handouts I will post them here for other people to use them. To use them just copy and paste them into your print program, or save it into your pictures.  Enjoy!


Doctrinal Mastery New Testament Teacher Material



The Mortal Ministry of Jesus at a Glance 
(journal and scripture size)



Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge








Lesson 1: Introduction to the New Testament


Lesson 7: Matthew 3









Lesson 12: Matthew 7






Lesson 19: Matthew 16

Do you ever get tired of listening to yourself talk during a lesson?  I do, so every now and then I put together a simple group activity.  This one is easy.    After I give my mini lesson on Revelation, I am going to have each table brainstorm about it.   They will write their answers on the rocks below, and then I will have them share it with the class.



I have two similar handouts for this lesson.  One has a quote from Joseph Smith, the other a quote from Joseph Fielding Smith.  I decided to redo  it this year.

Joseph Smith:




Joseph Fielding Smith:



Here's a printout of the Priesthood keys to use in your lesson.






Lesson 30: Matthew 26:1–30




I placed a 1" mirror that I bought at JoAnn's in the center of the circle.



Lesson 37: Mark 6










I wrote I AM on the board.  I showed the class the Bible video "Go and Sin No More".  I handed out the handout below and had them fill it out and crumple it up and leave it on their desk .  We discussed the lesson and the words I AM.    Then I gave each group and I AM scripture and had them tell what they thought it was about.  Then I went through the class and had them all say and I AM statement about themselves and throw their sin into the garbage.  



Tosee how I made this into a bookmark click here.


For this lesson I printed out a large version of the door and a sheep for each student.   I wrote the name of each student on a sheep.  I put the door and the sheep on the board and drew a fence around the sheep.  I gave my lesson and then at the end of the lesson I gave them a sheep and a small version of the door to add to their journals.  Then I had them write their testimonies about how Christ knows them individually and how he protects them.











Lesson 71: John 11



Lesson 77: John 17








Lesson 79: John 20



Review Worksheet:
Since our semester ends at the end of John this year I had a day where I had the students write down a scripture and story about how they were influenced by Christ.  I played some Christmas music and gave them about 10 minutes and then we all took turns sharing what we learned.
It was during Christmas so I included the #LIGHTtheWORLD












I found this quote in the Institute manual, but it goes nicely with the above lesson.
