Book of Mormon Sticky Notes- Free Printable

The Book of Mormon is such a powerful tool in our journey to return to live with our Father in Heaven.  The Book of Mormon has been given to us to be a:

LIAHONA, 

SWORD, 

SEED, 

IRON ROD, 

and a GIFT.  

Prophets and Apostles have testified boldly of the divinity of the Book of Mormon.  

These printable sticky notes are intended to help teach children and Seminary youth about the power of this most amazing book.  They can be used in scriptures or as journal prompts.  

First, print the Template Page.  It is best if you can do this on a sheet of cardstock, but not necessary.  

Second, place the sticky notes carefully lined up in the squares of the template page so that the sticky border will go into the printer first.  

Third, send the sticky notes through your printer as you print the "Quotes Document".  

If you don't have the time to print these on sticky notes you can print them on a regular sheet of paper and just use glue to stick them to a journal page or tuck them between the pages of your scriptures.

If you like the idea, but want to use it for your own quotes or ideas Google Doc has a template you can use to space and print your own quotes on sticky notes.  Easy peasy.

Printable Book Guides for the Book of Mormon

My kids have come to know the stories of the Book of Mormon as we have studied them at dinner.  Now they need to be able to find the stories in their own scriptures.  To help with that I created book guides for most of the books in the Book of Mormon.  They are intended to make it easier to find the stories.  They are sprinkled with quotes, study ideas, a picture to color, a timeline, and some spots are left open for illustrations to help my kids develop a variety of scripture study skills.

The number on the left side of the guide is the corresponding chapter.

Timelines really help!

The pictures on the page are also in the margin of the right page in the Book of Mormon.
Bad picture, sorry.

Choose the "two-sided" print feature so it will print properly, it will print 3 pages (on both sides).  

The pages are then cut exactly into quarters.

They aren't perfect, but I do think that they will be a powerful tool 

as our family continues to learn from their scriptures!  

Stand In Holy Places

There is an amazing scripture study guide available at That Good Part that really looks at the Young Women and Young Men's theme for 2013 which is "Stand in Holy Places".  I printed it out and worked through it.  It was eye opening to see how much she could find to illuminate that one verse.   And it was good for me to try some different scripture study ideas.  The thought that hit me the hardest is that we cannot STAND when we are bound down by sin.  I did a study to find some of the different ways this is illustrated in the scriptures and then came up with a way to illustrate it for my kids.

And then it's counterpart:

Scripture Journals

My mom taught me to love the scriptures without ever saying a word.  Sure, she taught me about the scriptures, and taught from them- but it wasn't until I was a young adult and woke up on top of a houseboat on Lake Powell that I really learned how valuable the scriptures were.  As the morning sunshine hit the boat and woke us up I looked out to see my mom walking back to the boat along the shore, as she came closer I could see that she had her scriptures.  I realized then that if my mom would search out a quiet spot to read the scriptures on vacation that she saw them in a whole different light than I did.

It has taken me years to begin to value them like my mom did.  It really wasn't until I recognized that my children would need a love and understanding of the scriptures to protect them that I started writing down my thoughts, printing off important talks, and putting them all together in a meaningful way.  My scripture journals are a tangible evidence of the love the Lord has shown me while I have worked to become closer to Him.

Here are some great resources for scripture journals:

The Red Headed Hostess
Her site really helped me to see exciting ways to journal!  She has some beautiful scripture journals for sale, including an amazing study on the Names of Christ that would be a great way to prepare for Christmas and Easter.  I prefer my three ring binders so I can add content at will, but hers are ready made.  She also shares lots of her pages so you can see ideas (the following pictures are from her website).

Latter-day Homeschooling
This is how I set up my scripture journals.  I love my alphabetical tabs ($5 at Walmart)!  She also has lots of free printable scripture journal pages that make it easy to hit the ground running.

That Good Part
She has several scripture study guides that helped me try new ways of studying.  I especially love her study of the Young Men and Young Women's theme: Stand in Holy Places.  She also has a free e-book all about effective scripture study.  I'm in awe of her crazy art skills too:

Studying Just One Verse

Sometimes the Holy Ghost can make one verse into an entire message of peace, hope and direction.  This verse was my message during a challenging time.

Blessings of the Scriptures

God teaches us about the importance of His word in His word!  I found three symbols of God's word and studied them to try to understand how we can use the scriptures better.  I was also impressed that each symbol was given with a warning.  

Character Study

I love Nephi.  My artwork looks like it belongs to a nine-year-old.  HA!
