[Seminary-Notes]
====================================
FOR YOUR INFORMATION...
====================================
A fun way to personalize Seminary is to recognize students on their birthdays.
Also... make sure you don't forget your students who have summer birthdays. This is easily done by celebrating Half Birthdays (for example, if a student is born on August 12th, you can celebrate their Half Birthday on February 12th).
By celebrating both Half Birthdays and Birthdays, you can start anytime during the school year because everyone can receive recognition.
Birthday recognition does not have to be fancy or expensive. Most of the birthday fun at Seminary lies in the recognition itself. A simple birthday card (with a short message from you and your Seminary class officers), singing Happy Birthday with your class, and letting the student pick the devotional song are easy actions for you -- but fun for your students.
Here is a website you can use, if you would like to personalize your student birthday cards with some unusual birthday and birth month information:
http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/index.htm For example, did you know that October is National Pizza Month, Eat Country Ham Month, International Drum Month, and National Popcorn Popping Month? And October 12th, for example, is "Moment of Frustration Day?"
To possibly save you some preparation time...
Please note that there is a ready-made birthday card master in the Old Testament Volume 2 Seminary Scripture Mastery Resource packet that you can photocopy (perhaps on colored paper), fold, personalize and give to your students. The front of the card contains birthday wishes and Old Testament banner representations for the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah. The inside contains a scripture mastery scripture and room for birthday wishes.
Have fun! Best wishes,
