Scripture Heroes: Book of Mormon Review

Today we reviewed the people in the Book of Mormon that we have talked about so far.  I showed them pictures from the Gospel Art Kit and had them tell me who the people were and a little about them. We also played a review game.  You can find the questions here. I  printed out cards that look like this below and they went through and picked out the answer using these cards.  We also sang "Book of Mormon Stories"
You can download the cards here, here, and here.  You can view all my Scripture Heroes throughout my blog if you have missed out on any.

We are going to do people from the Old Testament next.  I am not going to cover every great person in the there, but many.

Scripture Heroes: Alma the Younger

Today we talked about Alma the Younger.  You can download his Scripture Hero Chart here.  We watched the LDS Scripture video about Alma the Younger and how he was led to repent of his sins.  Such a wonderful story.

I came across these cute printables from Mormon Mommy Printables and knew that I had to make some for my boys.  They were a bit tedious to cut out, laminate, then put brads in, but I'm glad I did it. They are so cute and they not only helped me tell Alma's story, but then the boys had the chance to play with them and retell the story themselves.  

We spent a good deal of time talking about the steps of repentance.  Teaching LDS Children has these printables and some other ideas to help teach this story.

I put each step on one of our actual steps and then the boys took turns explaining what each thing meant that was on the step they were on.  We used an example of something that happened with my 6 year old last night since he did something he wasn't supposed to and then did the best he could to do follow the steps of repentance from what he'd remembered from things we have talked about before.  

 Living Scriptures has a little video clip about Alma the Younger.   A Year of FHE also has a great lesson to help teach about Alma the Younger.
