The Send the Light Journal is a companion resource designed to reinforce what students are learning in the Send the Light flipbook. Created for independent work for ages 8 and up, the journal helps students process and retain each day’s lesson through structured writing, research, and hands-on activities.

Each journal page follows the day’s lesson in the flipbook, allowing students to work on the same missionary, place, and topic as the rest of the family. While the family lesson continues, older children complete their journal work independently, strengthening understanding and recall.

Designed to be used with the Send the Light Flipbook.

How the Journal Fits Into the Curriculum 

The flipbook serves as the instructional anchor for the curriculum. The journal is where older students reinforce what they have learned.

As a parent leads the daily lesson using the flipbook, students ages 8 and up complete the corresponding journal page. This keeps students focused on the same lesson content while working independently without requiring separate instruction or additional parent involvement.

What’s Included

• 100 daily journal lessons that correspond to the flipbook
• Writing prompts connected to each missionary study
• Map skills and geography activities
• Research and observation exercises
• Clip-in bookmark featuring the ten missionaries
• Creative activities tied to history, culture, and Scripture
• Space to record Family Mission Challenge responses

Designed for Independent Work (Ages 8+)

The Send the Light Journal is written for students who are ready to work on their own while still participating in family study. Each page provides a focused task, such as writing, map skills, researching, or creative work, so students can complete their work independently while the family lesson continues.

The journal reinforces the day’s learning and helps students remember what they have been taught.

Why Families Choose the Send the Light Journal

Families choose the Send the Light Journal because it reinforces learning without adding complexity. Older students stay focused on the same content as the rest of the family while developing independence and accountability in their work.

Used alongside the flipbook, the journal helps learning stick by reinforcing the day’s lesson through independent, age-appropriate activities.
