MORMONOPOLY
MORMONOPOLY
Here are directions from years ago, I don't know where I got them, for a fun version of Monopoly -- Mormonopoly. They are hard to read, but I didn't take time to re-type them at this time.
SCRIPTURE ROAD SIGNS ACTIVITY
SCRIPTURE ROAD SIGNS ACTIVITY
FRIEND -- October 1993
Here is a fun little activity for a lesson. You could make a full page picture of each sign and then do a "math up" game. You could use this as an introduction to a lesson.
SCRIPTURE GRAB BAG GAME
SCRIPTURE GRAB BAG GAME
FRIEND -- December 1983
Here is a fun and simple way to review scripture stories!
It would also be a great "plan" for multiple FHE Lessons -- spend a session on each "toy/symbol" that is in your "scripture grab bag." After teaching each story, add the "toy/symbol" to your grab bag and review as you go along and then in the end play to review all the stories!!! Then pull out the grab bag every few weeks for a quick fun review activity! The kids will love it!

younger ages. Each person MUST have a
copy of the Book of Mormon.

a question to Team #1. Let them answer

ALSO,
the team who first has every member pointing to the scripture reference for the

A BOND TO CREATE
A BOND TO CREATE
by Ben Richardson
First thing you'll need,
is a boy or a girl.
Choose wisely, because this will be irreplaceable.
Make sure he or she
has a difficulty.
Now for the mother.
Base with compassion and care.
Add a dash of worry.
Mix with hard experiences.
Mix carefully, not too fast.
Make sure you can see,
a truly inspirational person.
Top off with a few cups of determination.
The last ingredient is
something impossible to add.
It is always there,
no matter what is done.
Set the child and the mother together,
and you will get it.
Love.
Spring 2011
Benjamin wrote this poem as an assignment for school.
It's depth is amazing for a 12 year old boy!
BE A WOMAN OF CHRIST
All
of this is to try to tell you how your Father in Heaven feels about you and
what He has designed for you to become.
And if for a time any of you are less visionary than this or seem bent
on living beneath your privilege, then we express even greater love for you and
plead with you to make your teenage years a triumph, not a tragedy.
I
plead with you young women to please be more accepting of yourselves, including
your body shape and style with little less longing to look like someone
else. We are all different. As one advisor to a teenage girl said: “You can’t live your life worrying that the
world is staring at you. When you let
people’s opinions make you self-conscious you give away your power. The key to feeling confident is to always
listen to your inner self – the real you.”
And in the Kingdom of God, the real you is ‘more precious than rubies.’
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Ensign 2005
