  "teacherNote": "Practice day, not a scripture lesson — hence two cards instead of four. Bring coloured pencils and scripture-marking pencils. The manual's drawing activity works well: groups of four, four stapled papers, rotate clockwise, draw a key phrase / guess the reference / draw again / guess again. IMPORTANT: remind students not to represent Deity in their drawings. Leave 25-30 minutes for the 'acquiring spiritual knowledge' principles review in the manual appendix.",
