3 Ideas to Teach the First Vision- The Red Headed Hostess
Here are three ideas that you can look through to help you teach the importance of Joseph Smith and the First Vision.
These are all tried-and-true teaching techniques that I used while teaching seminary, and these all come from previous posts/articles. I have just put them in one place for you to look through. 🙂
1- Make a scripture puzzle using Joseph Smith History
 
This is a really impactful way to teach a block of scriptures. Â As you try and put it in the proper order, you have to reason through it and think through each line.

2- Joseph Smith Trivia
There are 51 questions in this activity along with a suggestion of a way you can turn this into a game.
Just hop over to this post to get the PDF.
3- “I saw two personages” The First Vision
Teach about the doctrine of the Godhead that was restored during the First Vision.
See our very popular teaching package HERE about why the First Vision is so Important
Sigh. I love your posts but each one is a week or 2 too late for me. Consider posting earlier por favor!!
These are such great tools! I’m definitely going to use a couple of these ideas for my lesson this week. Thank you for posting these!
My daughter’s YW leaders assigned her to teach the lesson on the importance of the First Vision. She was so excited to find your ideas and can hardly wait to use your Joseph Smith trivia game during her lesson tomorrow.
Thank you so much for these awesome ideas!!! I love doing fun games! I feel like the girls get so much more out of it that way. THANK YOU!
The scripture puzzle (word strips) is so good that I’m embarrassed I had never thought of something like this. After 45 years of teaching seminary/institute, you would think I had seen it all. Not so. Thanks for helping me with some new tricks.
