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.

Book of Mormon Scavenger Hunt Primary Activity - 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!

Primary Activity Book Of Mormon Hero Guess Who!? Learn about Scripture Heroes from the Book of Mormon

Get to know the Book of Mormon Heroes! And who doesn't like getting (good) mail!?

Here's how it works: 

1. Pick a volunteer to open a letter from the mailbox.

2. The letter will have a "clue card" with a letter from a scripture hero telling you about themself.

3. As a group, see if you can figure out who the letter is from (some are definitely easier than others)

4. Once you figure out who the letter is from (don't worry, cheats are provided for the leaders), turn over their scripture card and read a scripture about them.

5. Fill in the missing word from the scripture onto a worksheet. Discuss how that scripture hero demonstrated their descriptive quality. 

Hopefully this is a good overview of the Book of Mormon and can teach just a little bit about some scripture heroes!
