The kids loved it. Sharon Sandberg is our "specialist" so she planned and executed the whole thing so all we had to do was show up with 3 dozen cookies and lead a group. She had 3 groups (primary colors...red, yellow, blue) We went through a time machine the scouts made for us and visited Samuel the Lamanite (watched a short video clip in there as well), Ammom--he gave each a plastic knife with their name on it, had them write or draw on a apiece of paper what weakness they wanted to get rid of on a peice of paper and then at the end had the kids stick their plastic "swords" in a big pot with dirt in it. Moroni talked to them about being the last Nephite on the earth and trying to finish the record. Nephi had them do a RELAY where they had to run to the Wilderness, run back to Jerusalem to pick up the gold plates (gold card board replicas) then back to the wilderness then back to Jerusalem for a picture of Ishmael's family with the GIRLS colored...and then back to the wilderness and on to the Promised Land where they had coloring packets to color for extra scripture reading points for this month and cookies!!!! The whole thing took less than an hour and EVERYONE was thrilled.
