Our Stake Primary wanted to start the year off getting the children excited to learn about the Book of Mormon. The activity was a huge success! We kept the children moving and busy with short classes, crafts and fun activities at the end. We planned for 100 and had about 75 children attend. INVITATIONS & POSTERS: SETUP: I find it is always helpful to have a map and instructions for number of tables and chairs that are needed. That way, I can hand it to the helpers setting up and they know exactly what is needed. ACTIVITY SCHEDULE: 9:00 Divide into 5 groups with colored hand stamps 9:15 CHAPEL: Welcome, Prayer, Talk by Joseph Smith about finding the plates, Testimony from Stake Presidency Classes - 20 minutes each. We had brethren from the stake dress up as Book of Mormon characters (pictures coming soon) and tell their story in first-person point of view. Then adult helpers did a craft with the children. Story: Brother of Jared Craft: Jaredite Barges (2 bowls stapled together with a door and glowing rocks inside.) Story: Nephi Craft: Liahona (Decorated gold Christmas ornaments with stickers and jewels. There is a toy compass in the ring on the bottom.) Story: King Benjamin Craft: Tower (Built out of popsicle sticks and glued with glue gun) Story: Ammon Craft: Missionary Formula Card (Decorated cards with points from Alma 17-18) Story: Moroni Craft: Title of Liberty (Wood dowel with torn fabric.) We had a 10 minute break between Classes 2 and 3 where we served Rice Cereal Treats and let them get drinks and use the restroom. 11:30 CULTURAL HALL: Book of Mormon Games - 8 stations 1. "Amalickiah's Poison Darts" Blow darts into boxes with picture of Amalickiah 2. "Ruins of Ammonihah" - Blow a ping-pong ball through a wood maze. 3. "Samuel the Lamanite" - Knock Samuel off his wall (with paper arrows) 4. "Waters of Sebus" - toss arms (made of nylons and stuffing) to 2 partners who will try to catch them in a towel. 5. "Characters of the Book of Mormon" - matching game 6. “Nephi’s Bow” – String a bow and shoot an arrow at stuffed animals. 7. “Laban’s Sword” – Use sword to gather up cups (Lamanites). 8. “Tower of Babel” – Stack plastic cups as high as they can. After each class we gathered the crafts from each room and put them on tables in the Cultural Hall by colored group, so all the kids from that group only had to search one table for their crafts. These tables were setup by the doors so they would pick up their crafts as they left. We also provided plastic shopping bags for them to carry their crafts home. We also included this letter to Parents so they would know what their children learned and incorporate their visual aides in their family scripture study. If you want to do this activity and would like any of the files, please let me know.

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. Files for this activity are available HERE.

Felt boards are a great teaching tool. I was first introduced to them when I was an elementary school teacher before I became a mom. I would use it to teach colors, numbers, shapes, and all other sorts of things. At home, I have always wanted a set of "felt figures" to help me teach scripture stories to my children. Such as these: They look nice, and are a fun, hands on way to teach little ones. Buying them can be expensive though. A set like this will cost you around $50! Even if you buy the stories individually (for instance, just Noah's ark), it is still $15. That is NOT in my budget! So, I had to get creative. There are various resources out there that make felt board figures available. As I looked for resources, I found a blog that has 48 flannel board stories in ONE place, and they are available to download! Here is where you can access this AMAZING resource. You can also find similar resources for shapes, colors, etc... if you want felt figures to teach other subjects as well. This is the creative part. Normally, the idea is that you print the figures (or shapes, colors, etc...) on paper or copy them from a magazine and then, using velcro, place them on the flannel board. These can be a good substitute for the more expensive, pre-made felt figures and can be made more durable with lamination. I'm stubborn though and I really wanted figures just like the pre-made felt ones! I wanted to turn these into felt figures, and have an entire library of scriptures stories, for not a lot of money! The key is printable T-Shirt Transfer Paper! Supplies Needed: 8.5x11 inch sheets of felt (20 cents a sheet at Wal-Mart) Printable T-shirt Transfer paper (found in the office supply section of Wal-Mart, Target) Iron Scissors Manilla Folders (to create files for all the felt figures) Steps to make FABULOUS FELT FIGURES (for very little money) Print story figures (found here) on Printable T-Shirt Transfer paper After printing your story on the transfer paper, it will look like this: Cut out each picture with a small margin around the image. Keep the edges round; it prevents the edges from lifting while ironing. After cutting out your pictures, lay them image side DOWN on your felt. Use an iron set on cotton (highest setting) and NO STEAM Apply a good amount of pressure to the pictures (with your iron of course!) moving the iron back and forth over the picture. It usually takes about 20 seconds to transfer it. Test an edge of the picture to make sure it transferred all the way by gently peeling off the paper backing. If it comes off easily, it probably is ok. You can eyeball it. After you peel all the paper off, cut out your images from the felt. Print off coordinating story/lesson to go along with each figure. (located beneath story figures) Voila! you have an entire set of felt board figures for CHEAP!Here is what my "Adam and Eve" set looked like when finished: STORAGE for all your new felt figure sets is important! Keeping them organized will save you time. I bought a box of plain old manilla folders. I taped BOTH sides of the folder closed, making a little pouch. I wrote the name of the story on top, and put all my figures inside with the story/lesson to go along with it. I now have felt figures for dozens of scripture stories. It makes teaching the scriptures so much easier for our little ones. It takes some effort to make all the stories, but is WELL worth it! I use my 'collection' all the time. And guess what? It was WAY cheaper to make than to buy.

Youth can have a change of mind and heart like the people of Ammon (Alma 24), who called themselves Anti-Nephi-Lehies and buried their swords. This symbolized their repenting of their sins and not wanting to take up their swords again. These repentant people wanted to live with God again and knew if they did not repent this would not be possible.
