Book of Mormon Survivor

(Survivor could be an acronym for

Safeguarding  'Ur Values Insures Victory Over Regret)

Divide into two teams. Decide on a set of Book of Mormon scriptures you want the kids to learn. Do a scripture chase with those scriptures. The team to come up with the scripture first gets to vote one member of the other team out of the game. The banished student gets one chance on the next clue to get the scripture in under, otherwise they are out of the game. The game goes on until one team has been totally banished. Then you will do the physical challenge and each team will receive 100 points per game that they win.

Book of Mormon Survivor Youth Conference

This is a day long activity for young men and young women. The youth are divided into 12 tribes to compete as the "Survivor" winner.

The youth committee was responsible for planning the activities and suggested competitions, so that made for a lot of the very successful activities.

There were 6 stations for the different tribes to visit, 2 tribes at a time. Adults were assigned to play various prophets from the Book of Mormon at each station. After the in costume prophet told of his story, the two tribes visiting that location competed in some way. For example, at the Samuel the Lamanite station, the youth shot paint guns to see who could come the closest to Samuel without actually hitting him (as Samuel was never hit by the arrows).

Each tribe made themselves a banner (flag like) and carried it to each station.

If they won the competition, they received a winning ribbon to attach to their banner. At the end, the tribe with the most ribbons won.
