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

    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 say my prayers (put hands together like praying and 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)

  2. 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. We are going to mark some "Choose the Right" scriptures. "Choose the Right" The Friend, Oct. 1997.

    2. Have all of the family members sit around the kitchen table with their scriptures. Give them all a sheet of "CTR" Scripture Stickers and a colored pencil. Have the scripture references written on a piece of paper and one by one look them up together, read the scripture, highlight it and put a CTR scripture sticker in the margin.

    CONCLUSION:

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

    2. Sing "Choose the Right Way" 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.
