Interactive Book of Mormon for Children {Giveaway}

by 176 Comments

Have you ever used quiet books or file folder games to help your littler ones be more reverent during church? We use them for those younger than five to keep them busy and occupied during the one hour Sacrament meeting. Truth be told it also helps keep the slightly older ones occupied while they help the younger ones. ☺ I also utilize file folder games sometimes during the week to help keep the littles busy while we are trying to get school done with the older children.

interactive book King Benjamin
Reviewing the Teachings of King Benjamin

This past Sunday they had a treat when I presented them with a new interactive Book of Mormon Story Book. It came as a pdf file which I printed, laminated and put together using velcro for the moveable pieces. 

Interactive book Nephi builds a ship
Helping Nephi Build a Ship

They had a great time reviewing the stories of Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem, Nephi building a ship, King Benjamin teaching the people, Ammon tending the king’s sheep, and others. In all there are 9 stories covered in this first volume:

1. Lehi’s Family Leaves Jerusalem
2. Nephi and The Brass Plates
3. Nephi Builds a Ship
4. Enos Prays All Day
5. King Benjamin
6. King Noah and Abinadi
7. Alma Teaches the Nephites
8. Alma The Younger and The Sons of Mosiah
9. Ammon & King Lamoni’s Sheep

Natalie, the brains behind the book, created this video to show everything in it and how it works.

  5. One of my daughters used to always say she loved the story of wicked King Noah, not that she liked Abinadi. We’re in the middle of 2 Nephi right now so everybody says Nephi is their favorite to read about.

  18. My daughter loves any story that has Jesus in it. She’s 3 and is a brand new Sunbeam! I think she’d like the story of Jesus coming to the Americas the best.

  42. One of our family favorite’s is the story of Ammon & King Lamoni’s sheep. The picture story in the FHE manual (with our own made-up actions) is a frequent last-minute FHE activity.

  68. Love kids books like these! Thanks for the give-away. I think lately Samuel the Lamanite is high on the list because he has the power of God, (and doesn’t get hit by a single arrow!).

  74. being in australia this makes a much more economical way to get childrens board books (we used to own the lds bookstore here and you could pay up to $30 for those book of mormon board books/lift the flap ones)

    so I would love this!
    we are currently up to reading alma and amulek with our girls for morning scripture study.

  76. This is GREAT!! My oldest son has Autism and he LOVES file folder games! He learns so much from the repetition and consistency of these type of games and books that are so hands on! I have 5 boys and they all love a different story. One of them just told me he loves the Stripling Warriors. Another on loves anything about Ammon. Love this!

  99. As for my kids favorite Book of Mormon stories… they’re at school right now, so I can’t ask them. But my younger one loves to sing Nephi’s Courage, so I’m going to go with that as his favorite… Nephi showing courage and doing what the Lord asked him, whether it was building a boat or getting the plates.

  136. My oldest loves to talk about the experiences of Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel and understanding how the latter 2 keep going from good to bad and back to good then bad again.

  140. Our favorite it Jesus visiting the Nephites. We just got into Sunbeams and are obsessed with the song and since Jesus is in it, we love him too. (And for other reasons, of course)!

  146. We are in the process of adopting from the foster care system, two siblings ages 5 and 6, to add to our bio six. They have no religous training, but are loving our family nights, primary, and scriptures and prayers. This would be such a fun way to help them learn the delights of the Book of Mormon. Thanks for the chance to win!

  157. I added it to my favorites list & Pinned it too! I am happy you shared this, I did not know it existed. <3 Thanks for sharing!

    My absolute favorite story is when Christ blesses the children…gets me every time! The story helps me to remember that Jesus Christ slowed down to bless the little ones.
