I've been doing mini religion lessons with home school and the most important tool is the church dvd's. (The doctrine and covenants one has an alphabetical list of topics and related quotes and scriptures.) The kids also like doing scripture chains because they get to highlight scriptures. We do 4 or five and loop them back to the beginning. Also, visiting rest homes. They LOVE to talk.
