Samuel the Lamanite wall crawl:
 

The children stand on a wall of some sort and sang the verse of Book of Mormon Stories about Samuel the Lamanite as all the children on the ground squirted them with water guns.
 

Moses parting of the water tug of war:
 

Divide the children into two groups.  Fill a wading pool, put a rope across the pool and put a group of children on each side of the rope.  Everyone will usually get wet.
 

Noah's Ark relay:
 

Two arks were made out of cardboard.  One for team "a" and one for team "b".  We brought all the stuffed animals we could and pooled them all together on the floor in front of the arks.  We divided the children into two teams and at the go they were to run and find one pair of animals and put them into their ark.  The object was to get the most pairs.  (Animals don't need to look alike, simply match animal types...  i.e.  bear with bear, rabbit with rabbit, etc.)
 

Ten Virgin Relay:
 

You'll need to save 10 milk jugs and cut the tops of them off.  Then decorate them to look like oil lamps as in the story.  Next, fill the 10 buckets with water and place them across from each other spread out.  Put one big serving spoon with each bucket.  Give the children a time limit and place each one in front of their bucket which should have a fill line.  The object is to fill the line without moving the bucket and before the time runs out.
 

David & Goliath pea shooting:
 

Make a large scale drawing of Goliath and place it on a wall of the church building outside.  Place a bag of frozen peas and a spoon for the children to try and flip the peas to hit Goliath in the forehead.
 

Nephite & Lamanite War:

Make headbands.  One group all of the same material and the other group out of another material.  Then have lots of water balloons filled.  Divide the children according to their headbands and let them go for it.  When all the balloons were gone they were to pick up all the casualties (broken balloon pieces).

Two thousand Stripling Warriors:
 

Bring a bag of play sand and bury plastic knives in the ground.  The children are to find all the knives.  Before every activity, read the account of the story from the scriptures, or have a leader tell it in their own words.  An important part of the activity although fun, was to put across the scripture stories.

Rock of Ages

We had several leaders/teachers/parents stand in a line and the team was given paper that looked like rocks with ages of the people standing in the line. They had so many seconds to place the "rock" in the hands of the person whose age it depicted and the team with the most correct got the points.

Sword of Laban

It was the marshmallow on the end of the plastic knife (sword of Laban) relay.

Tower of Babel

Each team was given and IDENTICAL set of items. The points were given to the team who built (or stacked) the tallest tower.

End the activity by giving everyone gold medals - Ding Dongs rewrapped with gold foil with a ribbon attached to the end of them so they could wear them around their necks. You could cut out a circle of paper with "Primary Scripture Olympic Gold Medal Winner" glued to the front of the Ding Dong to make them special. (Idea by Barb in Idaho)
