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: Moroni

Today we talked about Moroni and truth.  You can download his Scripture Hero Chart here.

 We watched the final two chapters in the Book of Mormon LDS Scripture videos.  I played a game that they really enjoyed I would make a statement and if it was true they stood up, if it was untrue they laid down.  For example, I would say, "The sky is blue."  And they would stand.  When I said, "The grass is purple" they would lay down.  Simple, but they had fund doing that for a while. Then we put together this puzzle I made.

We watched the Living Scripture video clip about Moroni.  We also watched this Book of Mormon video about promise of the Book of Mormon.

We read this story from the Friend about honesty and telling the truth.

Primary Manual 4 Lesson 44 is a good resource to help talk about Moroni.  There isn't a ton of activities out there for Mormon or Moroni which is interesting since they are key people in the Book of Mormon.  We have had a busy week though, so doing less for our Scripture Hero camp has worked out.

Scripture Heroes: Mormon

Today we talked about Mormon from the Book of Mormon. He abridged the Book of Mormon and his son, Moroni recorded many of his teachings after his death.  I thought Hope was a good power for him to have.  He mentions faith, hope, and charity in some teachings Moroni recorded, not to mention I think he had to have hope that someday people would read the writings from the Book of Mormon and believe in them.  You can download his Scripture Chart here.

We watched LDS Scripture Video about Mormon.  We also watched some other videos.  I had a hard time finding activities to do with the kids about Mormon or hope.  You can watch "O Ye Fair Ones" which is a short video with Mormon and Moroni.  A Mother's Hope is a favorite Mormon Channel video that we watched. There is also this video clip about hope.

I made this sign that says "Hope" and cut it out so they could put the puzzle together to figure out how what Mormon's power was.

 After watching the videos and talking about Mormon and what he did throughout his life I used these pictures to have them help me figure out which description matched the picture.

Tomorrow we will talk about Moroni.  Then we will have a week of a break.  When we return we will review those people we talked about in the Book of Mormon and then talk about people in the Old Testament.

Scripture Heroes: Brother of Jared

Today we talked about the Brother of Jared. He had such great faith that he son the finger of Christ.  You can download this Scripture Hero Chart here.

To start of the day I had something hidden under a blanket.  I asked them if they believed there was something under it and when they said yes I asked them why they believed that even though they hadn't seen what was under it.  We talked about how faith is like that.  We believe in Jesus Christ even though we have not seen him.  We also sang "Faith" from the Children's Primary Song Book.

We watched LDS Scripture Videos 50 and 51.  We also watched a short clip of Robert D. Hales talking about the Brother of Jared's faith. We watched another short clip from the Living Scriptures about the Brother of Jared as well.

Two great sources to help talk about the Jaredites and the Brother of Jared specifically are Teaching LDS Children and A Year of FHE's lesson about him where you can also find this coloring page.

 We also played a Faith game from Finch Family Games.

Scripture Heroes: Samuel the Lamanite

Today we talked about Samuel the Lamanite.  His "super power" is prophecy.  You can download this Scripture Hero Chart here.

We watched the LDS Scripture Video about Samuel the Lamanite and then we used these flannel board figures to retell the story.

 We then talked about the different signs that Samuel prophesied about Christ's birth and His death.  They took turns picking the items and putting them in the correct spot.  You can get printables of that here.

 This is a fun little craft of Samuel up on the wall.  My six year old loves to color and was doing it long after my other two had lost interest.

 Here they are with their finished Samuel's on the wall.  We used popsicle sticks to help move Samuel up and down.

 Their favorite part of the day was acting out the scene of Samuel the Lamanite on the wall prophesying and having people throw rocks and arrows at him.  Instead of rocks and arrows though, we used marshmallows.  They all took turns being Samuel.

We also sang this primary song about Samuel.
