Book of Mormon Trivia – Ether 3

Seven year old Marianne and nine year old Joseph love to play Book of Mormon Trivia before school. Joseph said it is much more interesting than sitting down and listening. They are eager to set up the game and get started in the morning.

The purpose of the game is to help children become familiar with the stories in the Book of Mormon. We've been playing Book of Mormon Beanbag Toss along with these questions, and they love it.

Our children are being challenged when the questions are in order. But for a greater challenge, you can mix up the questions or combine the questions with those from other chapters.

Have the children read the verse aloud. This will help them in their ability to read scriptures. Then have them answer the question. They get game privileges for reading the verse and for answering questions.
