Last Saturday was our primary activity that I was kind of in charge of, and I'm happy with how it all went. We had a great turnout (30 kids) and the theme was a scripture adventure. My group started and ended in a big tent. 
I was in charge of the scripture treasure hunt. There were 9 clues hidden throughout the church, and on the back of each clue was a scripture leading them to the next one. For example, one clue was when Captain Moroni made the Title of Liberty and fastened it to a pole, so they had to go to the flag pole. They ended up in the libraray, where they found a treasure chest full of chocolate coins and treasures. I had to keep reminding them not to run in the church, but they all really had fun with it. I put the complete list at the end of this post.
Everyone got a chance to read the clues, and the older ones helped the younger ones.
In Kaitlin's room they wrote letters to the missionaries using hieroglyphics.
When they were done writing their letters they played a game of going on safari. They each listed something they'd pack, and they had to remember them all in order.
Isn't Kaitlin cute?! I don't think I've ever seen her not smiling. 
Sara's room had various jungle-themed games and relays.
Amy made a fleece scripture snake for everyone, and they were a huge hit. Does she look great or what?
The kids added 30 gumballs (one each day for a month) and hot glued a cute face onto them.
My boys played with their snakes for about 2 days straight. And they're so excited to read their scriptures every night so they can have a gumball. The idea is that they read until the flavor is gone.
Afterwards we had animal cracker cupcakes and jungle juice (lime sherbet and soda).
