A 20-minute class plan for The Last Scribe
For a Sabbath School class, a Pathfinder or Adventurer meeting, or a family worship. Both chapters below are free for every player.
The week before
- Every player has an account, made at home. A child under 13 needs a parent to confirm by email before they can join a room.
- Players under 13 are friends in the game with their room's host (Friends, then the friend code).
- One host chosen for every six players.
- Wi-Fi or mobile data on every device; a projector or television for the teacher's room.
In class
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–2 min | Hosts start rooms and read out the codes; everyone joins. Choose the chapter. |
| 2–12 min | Walk the chapter. Each room finds every person and every object before going to the quiz zone. |
| 12–16 min | The quiz, on every device. Compare scores between rooms. |
| 16–20 min | Devices down, Bibles open. Read the key verses aloud; talk through two of the questions below. |
Revelation 1: John on Patmos
Read aloud: Revelation 1:9–18 (King James Version).
- John was on Patmos "for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ" (1:9). What can it cost to keep God's word today?
- John was "in the Spirit on the Lord's day" (1:10). Which day does Jesus call His own (Mark 2:28)?
- The seven stars are in Christ's right hand (1:16, 20). What does that say about how He holds His church?
- "Fear not; I am the first and the last" (1:17). Why could John stop being afraid?
- He holds "the keys of hell and of death" (1:18). What hope does that give for those who have died?
The Baptism of Jesus
Read aloud: Matthew 3:13–17 (King James Version).
- John said, "I have need to be baptized of thee" (3:14). Why did Jesus ask to be baptized?
- Jesus "went up straightway out of the water" (3:16). What does that tell us about how He was baptized?
- The Spirit came down "like a dove" and the Father spoke from heaven (3:16–17). Who is present at the baptism?
- "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (3:17). What would it mean to hear that said of you?
- Read Romans 6:4. What does baptism show about a new life?
