Primary Carnival with Articles of Faith - Latter Day Saint Primary Activity Idea using the Articles of Faith

Create an Articles of Faith Primary Carnival using your own games + these article of faith trivia cards. 

1. Choose up to 6 "carnival games" you already have the supplies for

2. Prepare these trivia cards to have at each game

3. Incorporate asking the player a trivia question into the game.

We used these for an activity in our ward and it was great!

We had a couple stations... 

At the obstacle course station, the player had to answer an article of faith question before they did the obstacle course. You can't really see it but that tent had yard making a maze... that was a big hit!

Then before they got a change to throw a ball in a bucket, they had to answer a question

Then we had a hot potato station. If the music (article of faith song) landed on them, they had to answer an article of faith question and they got a "challenge" like wearing a funny hat or hot pads or blindfold. 

 

Book Of Mormon Treasure Hunt - Priceless Treasure of Knowledge Activity - Latter Day Saint Primary and Youth Activity

Go on a book of Mormon Treasure hunt to learn about a few priceless treasures of knowledge and examples of great character! 

Before the activity, leader prepares the 24 envelopes with the "treasure card" inside (and candy if you choose the optional missionary object lesson). Once everyone is at the activity, allow all the players to go hunting for envelopes. Once you think they are all collected, meet all back together and have the players share the envelopes they collected. 

In other words: 

STEP ONE

Find all the envelopes and answer a Book of Mormon trivia question before you can open the envelope.

STEP TWO

In the envelope, you’ll find a treasure card. Read the scripture and guess what character trait we learn from that scripture hero.

STEP THREE

Keep your own record of the priceless treasures of knowledge and examples of great character.

MISSIONARY OBJECT LESSON: 

Hide a bag of candy/treat with each envelope. One person collects that envelope & candy. After meeting all together and while  sharing the character traits, a player also shares a piece of  candy with everyone. Tie in how  missionaries also share knowledge with others. (With 24 envelopes, I recommend small candy like jelly beans or M&M’s. Getting just one won’t seem like a lot, but after 24 it should be plenty.)

Baptism Blanket Gift Idea and Tag

We have more than a few kiddos getting baptized in our ward this year and we wanted to have something when we go visit them right before their baptism. I've seen some pretty cute ideas with a bag full of goodies and each goodie ties into something gospel related. That was super tempting but I think I like this idea better. 

We got a $2 blanket from Ikea and slapped this on there. I like this idea better because it removes the distraction of "stuff" and will hopefully let us focus on talking about the baptismal covenant. We can teach them what we covenant to do when we are baptized, and what the Lord covenants to do when we keep our end up.

Primary Carnival - Latter Day Saint Primary Activity - Games and Gospel Learning

 

                                                                          

I wanted to make an all-encompassing primary lessons, super easy and cheap but BIG fun activity and I think this might just hit the mark! 

This activity has 5 carnival games that are super easy - I did not have to purchase a single material for this... I already had everything at my house! 

Basically there are 5 games, each with a different gospel topic and before a participant can play the game, they have to answer a gospel question. 

The 5 games with their gospel topic are:
1. Article of Faith - Egg Crate Toss
2. My Gospel Standards - Ladder Toss
3. Baptismal Covenant - Bottle Toss
4. Book of Mormon - Ball and Cup Toss
5. Alpha and Omega (Christ) - Tower Toss

For each game:
1. Player must first answer a gospel question.
2. Player gets 2 turns at the carnival game plus a bonus turn if they answered their gospel question correctly (with or without help).

Suggested use:
Divide your group up and send to each game (if you had 10 players, you'd have 2 at each game). Have them take their turn and then wait for the others to play. Then have each group rotate. 

The 5 Games:

Book Of Mormon "Jeoparty" - Book of Mormon Activity for Kids AND Youth Test your Book of Mormon knowledge!

Whether you teach primary, youth or your own kids... this "Jeoparty" is a fun way to test knowledge on the Book of Mormon! For a zero prep activity, just bring your lap top and use this PowerPoint! Animations make it super easy!! 

At first I made this for my older children (youth) and thought they would appreciate these categories... 

Then I made a second Powerpoint for my younger primary kids... 

I made it in PowerPoint form where you just click on the number for the question to show, then click the question for the answer. Then you can click again to clear. 

But just in case tech is not your thing... I also made this in PDF paper form to tape up onto a wall.

Primary Activity Book of Mormon Scavenger Hunt - Scripture Hero Lesson and Trivia - Come follow me, Family Home Evening

 

I was finding myself needing a refresher one some scripture heroes and know that my kids could use one too! This a little tib bit on some of our favorite scripture heroes! This scavenger hunt board also acts as a timeline (that was helpful to me!)

Depending on how long you want this part of the activity to take.... you can make these clues harder/easier to find!

Then to start the lesson, have a volunteer come to the front to start reading a hero story. Have them read each bullet point until someone can guess who the person is. You can have them read the rest of the bullet points too if you want. 

Once completed, the scavenger hunt board should look like this :)


And then to top off the activity depending on your timing... if you can bring a lap top and end the activity with this "Jeoparty" game to test what they learned!
