Description

by Sandy Halverson

The projects found in Church History Activity Book are entertaining challenges for young children—they involve them in the scriptures, making them dig for answers in order to solve the puzzles. Many LDS parents want to teach their children the history and doctrines of the Church, but motivating young people to study the scriptures and history can be a challenging task. This book provides at least a partial solution to the problem. The activities vary in level of difficulty, but all can be done by children of elementary school age. They will follow mazes, color spaces to find hidden words, draw pictures, complete dot-to-dot drawings, match events and places, arrange the chronology of events, and complete crossword puzzles. In other projects, they will read reversed writing in a mirror, decode messages, make up words, do word-search puzzles, read word-and-picture stories, underline key messages, match books with their contents, unscramble names, answer multiple-choice questions, fill in missing words, and more. This book generates fun as well as learning! Church History Activity Book is the second of several books for LDS children by this creative author. Her Book of Mormon Activity Book provides the same type of entertaining motivation in another area of interest to Latter-day Saints. Her book Preparing for Baptism serves as a useful outline for children approaching the age of accountability.
