The free lds flannel board stories might be a creative way to pass on the LDS traditions and beliefs. They could cover a wide range of topics. There might be stories about the celestial kingdom and what it means in the LDS theology. The flannel board would then be used to show the different levels or aspects of it. Also, stories about the role of the priesthood in the church could be told using the flannel board. The flannel board allows for a more interactive storytelling experience. The storyteller can move the pieces around on the board as the story progresses, which can hold the attention of the listeners better than just a spoken - only story.
