My Gospel Standards Tournament - Complete Latter Day Saint Primary Activity

 

Fun way to learn about My Gospel Standards!!

Complete primary activity that should take about an hour. 

PREP: Should only take about 2o mins to prepare flashcards and matching game (trim paper & glue) and then spread stations around a room. If you're doing this at a church you can even go from room to room or if you're just in a cultural hall you can set up some tables. I did this with my 2 kids just around our kitchen table and that worked too!

TOURNAMENT:

1. Start the activity by giving each player a scorecard. Tell players the goal is to get as many points as they can within a certain time at each station. They probably won’t have time to finish everything at each station, but they can take it home and finish later if they want. 

                            

2. Next divide into groups and assign a starting station to each group (depending on how many players). I would pair players up so they aren’t alone at a station.

3. Directions for each station are included... this page is designed to be folded in half and made into a table tent with directions on both sides. I would give about 5 minutes per station and then rotate.

                          

4. Once players have a turn at each station, the players with the most points win.

                             

Articles of Faith Tournament - Learn the Articles of Faith in a fun way! - Primary Activity

I recently re-vamped this "Articles Of Faith Tournament" that was already pretty popular and I believe made it even better! Now it has 8 stations, a scorecard, awards and would only take a leader printing time and about 20 minutes to make flashcards/matching game and then you're ready for a super fun Articles of Faith activity!!

Before the activity you will just need to print the right amount of pages (depending on how many players are coming) and make the flashcards/matching game and grab 2 dice. Then separate the stations in the room you're in. 

To start the activity you'll want to give everyone a scorecard. Instruct the players that they will be doing an activity with 8 stations and at each station there is opportunity to earn points. They will need to keep their own score. I would separate the players and have each player to go a station to start. 

I would plan about 5 minutes at each station but you can totally tweak that for what works best for your group. This activity can work for any amount of players. If you only have one kid show up to the activity or if you have a bunch... you can just have more than one kid at each station at a time. If you have like 10 kids show up, I would pair them off (always more fun to do this kind of activity with a buddy) and just have some empty stations. 

At the end of the activity, you can choose to award the players with the most points!

Boy Baptism Gift Tag - Latter Days Saint Baptism Gift Idea and Tag

So two of my nephews got baptized today and I made them this card to go with a little baptism gift. Thought others could use something like this too, and this one is hopefully super versatile! This one is available free HERE: BoyBapstimGiftTag.pdf

Here are some ideas....

I designed it so once cut and folded, it creates two cards with a place on the inside to write a more personal message :) 

Happy Baptism!!

Primary Activity Taste Off - Healthy eating lesson or just a fun taste testing activity! Primary Activity Days Idea

So my friend did a taste off activity and said it was a huge hit (I mean, aren't activities centered around food usually?!) So I wanted to make this "placemat" to make this activity just a little more cohesive. 

I made four different "placemats" depending on how much food you want to use and whether you want the placemat to include the Gospel Standard or not. 

1. Room for 8 pairs of food & Gospel Standard is included (great for a healthy eating lesson)

2. Room for 4 pairs of food & Gospel Standard

3. Room for 8 pairs of food & no Gospel Standard (great for just a fun activity)

4. Room for 4 pairs of food & no Gospel Standard

Room for 8 pairs of food AND Gospel Standard

Room for 8 pairs of food and NO Gospel Standard

I was sharing this activity with my sister and she said having the Gospel Standard on there and then serving Oreos and Root Beer and chips might have some mixed messaging, haha... so that's why depending on how you want to use this placement it may be better to leave if off. 

Here are some examples: 

fun to really evaluate what kinds of healthy foods you like :)

fun to see if they can even taste a difference between the two

To make a "placemat" from the PDF, just trim the margin and tape who pieces of paper together.

Articles of Faith Scavenger Hunt - Primary Activity Days for Latter Day Saints Themed Scavenger Hunt

 

My kids LOVE anything called "scavenger hunt"! So I had to make this Articles of Faith Scavenger Hunt with Spring/St Patricks Day AND Easter themes. 

Basically before the activity, the leader prepares and hides 13 envelopes with puzzle pieces inside. When a player find an envelope, they have to say the missing word before they can open the envelope and take their puzzle piece (don't worry, they have Holy Ghost Clues to help them). Once they all found all 13 puzzle pieces, they can put their puzzle together to look like this: 

I made three different themes....

Christlike Scavenger Hunt - Christlike Character Trait Scavenger Hunt - Activity Days for Latter Day Saints

I feel like there's been a big push to learn more about Christ in the last couple years. I know it's something I've been trying to work on and can always improve. I made this activity for kids to get acquainted with some character traits the scriptures say Christ has. 

Basically the kids go on a "scavenger hunt" or "easter egg hunt" if you're doing this around Easter (some images used in this have easter object but you can totally do this anytime) for Character Traits of Christ. They have to find all 10 and put character cards in their bags before meeting back together for a character lesson. 

 I know I learned a lot making this activity and I hope anyone who tries this can get a lot out of it too!
