"Follow God's Plan"
Quarterly Activity

Click here for the CTR Scripture Stickers at www.debanae.net

If you want to do all of the scriptures on the same day this could be a great Quarterly Activity!!

SCRIPTURE STICKER ACTIVITY:

  1. CTR Scripture Stickers at www.debanae.net for each girl.
  2. Red or yellow color pencils or high-lighters for each child.
  3. Be sure that they all bring their scriptures. (You can order some CTR postcards and write the info on the back and send them during the week to remind them to bring their scriptures.)
  4. Be prepared for the sharing time.

Attention Getter:

  1. Play follow the leader around the cultural hall. Around and around, in and out, up and down. After you're done with that you could sing "Do as I'm Doing". Let children take turns being the leader.

  2. Then have the children sit in their chairs around tables. Talk to them about how everyone followed the leader. If the leader went around the bench everyone else did too. If the leader stepped over something....and some of the other things your leader did and said to do. Then talk about how some of the children were leaders. You did what they told you to do and followed what they did.

  3. Have you ever said an unkind word to someone and then wished that you had not? Have you ever hurt someone’s feelings because you didn’t think carefully before you acted? Do you ever feel uncertain about what you should do when someone wants you to do something you know is wrong? Have you wondered what you should do when someone hurts your feelings? In all of these situations, thinking about Jesus Christ can help you.

Activity Time:

  1. It is easy to do things that hurt others or ourselves when we do not think carefully before we act or when our minds are full of anger, fear, or confusion. Because our actions follow our thoughts, thinking about Jesus Christ can help us. Thoughts of His life, His example, and what He wants us to do can calm our minds and help us make righteous choices.

    As you think about the Savior, ask yourself, “What would Jesus Christ want me to do?” Answering this question will help each of us follow Him and choose the right.

    The Savior loves us and wants us to be happy. He wants us to be kind, loving, forgiving, helpful, obedient, honest, and thankful. When we do these things, we are keeping His commandments. Following the example of Jesus Christ will help us be happy.

  2. You can find some helpful things to use in your activity time at this link. "Sharing Time: Follow Jesus Christ" The Friend, May. 1999.

SCRIPTURE STICKER ACTIVITY:

  1. Explain that you are going to mark some scriptures about "Following God's Plan". Refer to this link for all of this year's scriptures.

    "Follow God's Plan" The Friend, Jan. 2005.

  2. Give everyone a sheet of "CTR" Scripture Stickers (cut the sheet in half and give the boys boy stickers and the girls girl sticker) and a colored pencil. Have the scripture references written on the chalkboard and one by one look them up together, (have the teachers and presidency members ready to help find scriptures if needed) read the scripture, highlight it and put a CTR scripture sticker in the margin.

CONCLUSION:

  1. Visit about how important it is as members of the church to live these things. Bare your testimony of it.

  2. Sing "I Will Follow God's Plan for me".

  3. Closing Prayer
