Look Unto Christ SURVIVOR - Girls Camp Activity, Youth Activity, 2025 Lds Youth Theme Activity

 

Those that have followed by blog for a minute have probably seen a few of these type of activities. I finally got around to updating it with the 2025 theme and wanted to share. If your new here.... this blog post explains this activity just a bit better :)

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!

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 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!

Articles of Faith Survivor Style Activity - Super fun activity with challenges and Articles of Faith puzzles! Primary Activity Days for Latter Day Saints

 

This might be my most fun activity yet!! After I did the Gospel Standards Survivor  activity with my daughter and her friends, she'd been begging me to do something like that again so I tweaked it here and there and turned it into this Articles of Faith Survivor. The challenges are a bit different but same concept... Everyone is part of the "Nephite Tribe" and everyone competes in the challenges. The tribe member to win the challenge, gets to put together an Article of Faith puzzle.

So before the activity starts, it took me about 30 mins to prep for the activity. I would plan maybe 45 mins just in case. This is all you need, plus a ball, plate and writing utensil for each person. 

1. Print the activity with enough written challenges/ Aof F handout for each tribe member 

2. Get 1 paper plate, 1 ball (I used a ping pong type ball), and 1 pen per tribe member

3. Cut Article of Faith puzzles and wrap the puzzle holder around the pieces (this was the longest part)

4. Cut name tags and thread into necklace (optional)

5. Wrap challenges into scrolls (this is totally optional.. just made it a little more fun)

Then, once everyone gets to the activity, start the activity by providing everyone with the Articles of Faith Handout, a pen/(cil), ball and paper plate. Then read them the welcome letter and then read the first challenge. 

Then start with challenge 1!

This is how the activity went for us.... the kids had a total blast and were super disappointed when it was over (how I like it). I just did it in my home but it would work really well in a church!

Everyone starts with the Articles of Faith Handout, a pen, ball and paper plate. 

Let the tribe member that won immunity read the next challenge to the group

We would chant the person's name as they solved the puzzle (just to pump things up) and then we would all read the Article of Faith out loud together. Everyone would fill out their Articles of Faith handout with the missing word 

I gave them the written challenges face-down and had them turn it over and start all at the same time.

My four year old joined in on some of the challenges and ended up winning one and was SUPER pumped :)
