Article of Faith Activity
    by Sara McCullum
     



    This activity worked really well - we split them into groups & took them around each of the following activities.

     

    They got points for completing each activity & an extra point for each member of the team who could recite the AOF.  Even some non member friends knew a couple of them before the end of the activity.

     

    AOF 1    Balloons which they had to pop, in 3 of them were the words God, Jesus & Holy Ghost.  They had to find the three slips & work out which Article of Faith.

     

    AOF 11    Fishers of men - had to fish for paper fish, each had a word on the back which made the Article of Faith.

     

    AOF 8    They had a code which they had to interpret, which led to a clue of which Article of Faith.

     

    AOF 7    Who could read a passage the fastest (gift of tongues!)

     

    AOF 10    Building Zion - team split into 2, each side of a blanket which was held up.  One had a shape built from Lego & had to  tell the other half of the team how to build it to get the same shape. 

     

    AOF 4    Apple bobbing (Kind of a loose connection, but they all got it was baptism)

     

    AOF 6    Building blocks each with a label of a priesthood office or duty they do.  Had to sort which were Aaronic & which were Melchezdek.

     

    We finished off in the hall, where they had to do a relay race.  At the other end of the hall were pieces of paper (different color for each team) showing the numbers 1-13 and papers showing the keywords for each.  They took it in turns to run & pick up a piece of paper, then had to match them all up!  Talk about manic!!!!!!

     

    The kids really enjoyed it & having a couple of teams gave them a little bit of competition - we also had the elders come help run some of the games - they always love the elders.
