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!
