Freedom To Choose


Opening Song: "Choose the Right Way" Children's Songbook #160


Opening Prayer : Child

Scripture:  2 Nephi 2:27

Lesson: Mom

This lesson based on 'Freedom to Choose' chapt 4, Gospel Principles, pg 17


God tells us through his prophets that we are free to choose between GOOD and EVIL.  We may choose eternal life by following Jesus Christ. We can also choose captivity by following Satan.

When we choose to do right things it makes Heavenly Father and our parents happy. When you do some Right things it makes it easier to do MORE right things. When we live according to God's plan for us we grow in faith, power, knowledge, and all other good things.

If we keep the commandments and make right choices we will become like Him.


Activity:

Have a bowl with different choices in it (eg stickers, small toys, chocolate etc) Let each child choose something from the bowl. Talk about how in life we make choices EVERY DAY. We hope that they will make good or right choices.

Play Tic Tac Toe/Naughts and Crosses  - demonstrating how we can choose when our turn

Show pictures from gospel art kit or elsewhere of GOOD Choices - Going to church, children helping others, saying prayers, Cleaning their room, drawing/playing nicely etc

The Holy Ghost


Opening Song: "I know my Father lives'  Children's Songbook #5

Opening Prayer : Child


Lesson: Mom

This lesson based on 'The Holy Ghost' chapt 7, Gospel Principles

As God's children left their home in heaven with him to come to earth to our families, the memory of living with Heavenly Father is taken from us. Heavenly Father did not want us to completely forget or have his influence so he sent The Holy Ghost to comfort and guide us.

What is The Holy Ghost Like? How is He different to God and Jesus?

What does The Holy Ghost do? How does he 'talk/reveal' things to us?


Activity:

Memorise the 1st Article of Faith

Show pictures of activites and ask which ones invite The Holy Ghost (eg Gospel Art Picture Kit of praying, blessings, sacrament, temple, FHE, families together as opposed to other activities)
