I've included a PDF with the script, answer key, and resources. This one is a bit harder than the original, with more puzzles to solve. I'm estimating it will take around 30 minutes, give or take, based on the few people who have gone through it already. Update: I thought the words for the crosswords were included in this answer key, but apparently I neglected that.
I can't change the PDF without making a new post, which I want to avoid, but here are the words for each crossword no particular order :.

It might be hard to share because I created it in Adobe Indesign software. Not everyone has that program and you need to be able to add the hit or miss symbols in live time. But I'm sure you could recreate it in other ways. I've attached the photos of what it looked like. It was really great using screen share on zoom. The board with the blue x's and red o's are the students attempts at 'firing'.
The board that shows the ships is what I had printed out in front of me as the kids made their guesses. I also had the ability to show them the ships at the end of the game.
But it was hidden while they played. And the last board was the rules of the game. We have a running scoreboard for all the games we play. The top three with the most points at the end of the semester get a treat. The part that isn't visible is the conversation we had.
Everyone took turns taking a 'shot'. Every time there was a 'hit', we scripture chased one of our scriptures from the Book of Mormon. Then we would read the scripture, identify which category from doctrinal mastery it came from atonement, ASK, etc. We had great conversations and it was fun, too. As a teacher, I think it's a good game because it creates an opportunity for students that are not 'speedy' at chasing to gain points too. It's kind of luck-of-the-draw on sinking the ships because you have to have it be your turn to sink it and they don't really know what size ship they are hitting when they guess.
Really good at leveling the field with overly competitive players. Q - Awesome! When you scripture chase, do you just call out a random doctrinal mastery from the Book of Mormon or it is associated with the particular hit they got? A - I do random. I've been focusing on them in groups.
So sometimes I have them pre-selected. Your choice. Q - Is one ship associated with one DM or is a different DM called out when they get a new hit on the ship? From Linda S. I made a simple grid on Word and shared it. We put in Xs and Os as they chose the squares.
It was fun! A - I just put the cities in myself [but the students could not see the cities grid. Only the teacher could see the grid.
Students could keep track of shots on the shared Word document - Jenny] Some files These files are not related to the OP, but they are DM battleship files shared in the group from years past:. I used a rolling chalkboard to place between the two teams. If you're looking for ways to help Seminary students retain Doctrinal Mastery passages, you can use brain science plus a little bit of basketball to get better results.
It's March Madness Doctrinal Mastery brackets! It's not fluff -- it's science! Read on to find out how it works. You make a bracket that contains all or most of the doctrinal mastery passages for the year. Students are able to choose or are assigned passages to match against each other. Students describe the meaning of their assigned passage s and explain why it is important.
It is most commonly used for doctrinal mastery, however, it can be used as a teaching technique for other passages as well. These scripture brackets always seem to be fun activities that engage students in ways you may find surprising.
But the DM bracket is more than just a fluff activity! According to the book Brain Rules by John Medina, the key is that brains remember things that are more elaborate -- things that have personal meaning. Many studies have shown that students remember more when they learn meaning versus memorizing by rote. People who think about meaning remember two to three times as much as others who do not. For maximum results with the bracket, you will want to block out time over a few days.
Perhaps you have playoff, quarterfinal, semifinal, and final matches scheduled over days. The reason for spreading this out is, again, brain science. Spaced repetition is key for remembering. Another way to maximize results using brain science would be to have students do role-plays where they might use this passage in real life and then vote on Most Likely to Use. We know that similarities between present and past events help us connect memories.
Assign each student a DM scripture, make bracket. By Heidi M : A - exactly correct! Q - How do you do the voting? Raise of hands?
If they win and present again, do they present the same thing? In my class we vote between the 2, yep It's great for repetition and memorizing the doctrinal mastery scriptures. We vote by raising hands. Jenny S - [description of BoM bracket] Did our bracket today -- and the winner was Ether !
We only did 16 SM passages because we got started late due to the supposed snow which didn't come. But this was a fun activity. I had kids nominate scriptures, but I decided not to make them defend their own scripture so that it wasn't like "mine lost". Instead we just read them aloud and discussed. The last two brackets went fast, but the first took some time. Worked great and was lots of fun, PLUS it really got this kids thinking about what the SM passages were about and talking important doctrines.
Thanks for this great idea! A - Yes, we did it all during one class, [it took] about 35 minutes. First I had students read each passage aloud. I called for a vote. After the first bracket, we didn't read the scriptures--just used the bookmarks or summarized. Brief discussion. By the final vote I had them vote silently bc they were getting into it.
You could limit the discussion to a few seconds per scripture with a timer if you wanted, but some scriptures were rejected out of hand like "Be ye therefore perfect" got 0 votes because "it doesn't tell you how to be perfect," so that was a fast one. Note: You can get the book Brain Rules mentioned above at Amazon. A question or task will be read aloud by the teacher based on the scripture reference where the spinner lands on.

You need to play with even numbers, so if you have an odd number of kids, the teacher must play. Gather the kids in the middle of the room. When you say go they run to either end of the room and grab a heart half. Then they have to find their partner and sit down next to them.
The two that are last to sit down are out. For each additional round, take out two more chairs and make sure you have just enough heart halves for each person on that round.

Ask one of the students with their hands raised to answer the question. If a player tags a player from the opposing team while they are on your side, then they are out. This game is great because it requires no setup time, materials, or a large area to play.
Simply split the class into teams with students on a team. Place them in a straight line with all students facing the front of the class. Write down a scripture mastery reference on a piece of paper and secretly show it to the last person in each line.
No one in the room can speak. The person in the back of each line must draw the letters to the scripture mastery onto the back of the person in front of them with their finger. Once the player in front understands it, he or she passes the message to the next person in the line. 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.
