MINI-LESSON:

    Attention Getter:

  1. Sing this song to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it" (CS. 266)

    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)
    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)
    I'll choose what is right and follow His light
    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)

    To show I choose the right I tell the truth (pat lips and turn around)
    To show I choose the right I tell the truth (pat lips and turn around)
    I know the Savior's way and it shows in what I say,
    To show I choose the right, I tell the truth (pat lips and turn around)

    To show I choose the right I will be kind (turn to your neighbor and ask "how are you?" with a smile)
    To show I choose the right I will be kind (turn to your neighbor and ask "how are you?" with a smile)
    I know the Savior's way and it shows in what I say,
    To show I choose the right, I will be kind (turn to your neighbor and ask "how are you?" with a smile)

    To show I choose the right I say my prayers (put hands together like praying and bow your head)
    To show I choose the right I say my prayers (put hands together like praying bow your head)
    I know the Savior's way and it shows in what I say,
    To show I choose the right I say my prayers (put hands together like praying bow your head)

    To show I choose the right I read my scriptures (pretend you are holding your scriptures open in your hands and move your head back and forth as reading them)
    To show I choose the right I read my scriptures (pretend you are holding your scriptures open in your hands and move your head back and forth as reading them)
    I know the Savior's way and it shows in what I say,
    To show I choose the right, I read my scriptures (pretend you are holding your scriptures open in your hands and move your head back and forth as reading them)

    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)
    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)
    I'll choose what is right and follow His light
    I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ (say: yes I do! and throw your hands in the air)


  2. Talk with them about the things that we sang in this song. They are some of the things that we should be doing as members of the church.

    Talk about each one of them for a minute.

  3. Ask them if they have ever been dared to do something? You may choose to read them the letter in "The Friend" about choosing the right.

    "Friend to Friend" by Rex D. Pinegar, The Friend, Oct. 1974.

SCRIPTURE STICKER ACTIVITY:

  1. Explain to the girls that you are going to mark the scriptures that they will be learning this year. (You can get them from your CSMP booklet)

  2. You may also choose to use these scriptures if you prefer. "Choose the Right" The Friend, Oct. 1997.

  3. Have all of the girls sit around a big table with their scriptures. Give them all a sheet of "CTR" Scripture Stickers and a colored pencil. Have the scripture references written on the chalkboard and one by one look them up together, read the scripture, highlight it and put a CTR scripture sticker in the margin. Leave plenty of time for this part of the activity. You don't want to hurry them.

CONCLUSION:

  1. Visit with the girls and bring out the point that as they learn the scriptures on Sunday they will already be familiar with them and have them marked so they can find them easily. Visit about how important it is as members of the church to live these things. Bare your testimony of it.

  2. Sing "I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ" for the closing song.

CLOSING PRAYER:



REFRESHMENTS:

    It would be fun to make CTR Sugar Cookies for them. You can get alphabet cookie cutters anywhere.
