Linkity and Scripture Study

We are constantly trying to find new ways to keep the kids listening during family scripture study. We are reading in 2 Nephi right now which contains alot of Isaiah's writing. So needless to say it hard to explain to the girls what going on when we are confused ourselves. So we have been pulling out the game "Linkity." It is a game with a stack of cards with a letter of the alphabet on each card. We divide the cards among them and then as they listen to us read the scriptures they listen for words that start with the letter on their card. For instance if they are holding a card with a "L" on it and hear the word "Liahona" they quietly say "Liahona" and put their card in the pile. The first one to get rid of their cards wins. I've never seen them listen so intently. I was actually surprised at how well Gentry did as well. They might not be understanding everything we read, but they are sitting, they are listening, they are being quiet, and they aren't poking or bugging the person next to them (a miracle in itself.) So here's an idea just in case you have a family like ours where it's hard enough just to sit and get through a chapter a night...play a game. I'd love to know some of your ideas that you do in your home that have seemed to work.
