Latter Day Saint Church History Tour - Early Church Events Lesson for Kids - Primary Church History Activity - Activity Days for Latter Day Saints

I am beyond excited about this activity!! After making and doing this Church History Jeoparty Lesson for my kids, I've kind of been on a roll with church history! I realized my own kids don't know much about it! I grew up going to Palmyra every other summer so I feel like church history was just part of my childhood but my kids are not so lucky! This was a great way to introduce some main topics and give them just a hint of some stories they will hopefully learn more about one day!

I'll let these infographics do the most the explaining but essentially this is a PowerPoint driven lesson where each player/child/participant has a workbook to help them follow along. On each new slide of the PowerPoint, the class will do 3 things: 

1. Play Charades. This Charades word is related to the lesson topic and is meant to keep this fun and light for kids. 

2. Get the letter they need to fill in their workbook so they can "translate" a Joseph Smith quote at the end of the workbook when they have all the letters. 

3. While kids are filling in the letters in their workbook, the leader can share what happened at that location and teach just a little bit. Please feel free to add any info that you know if time allows. 

 

My kids HATED this, so it worked perfectly :)

My kids + a few neighbor kids had a blast with this and I was so happy they actually remembered some things they learned! These files plus more are available HERE :)
