We Can Choose
We started out with a treasure hunt with clues that were a little bit difficult.
We let them fail and then get it right. The clues led to our snack. After they
found the "treasure" we talked about how just like finding the clues had
consequences (not finding the next clue or finding it), so does every decision
we make have consequences, good or bad. When it is too hard we can ask someone
(pray) and they will help us (Holy Ghost). If we make the wrong decision (sin)
we can change it (repent) and we can start over (forgiveness). Our
children are 5,4,2,8 mo. This worked very well for us. It was a hit and the kids
really remembered it. (Idea by Linda
Leary / ga04102007)

Candy Necklace: Ask them to think of ways to
eat the necklace (all at once or one candy at a time). Now ask them, “How is the
necklace like doing good or like making good choices?" They may say that
we can do one good thing all at once or we can do good things one at a time on
different days.

Sharing Time
Idea on Choices
Tell the story of Noah (see
Gen. 6:5–7:24). Let the children prepare a TV news program called “Choice
and Consequence” based on the story. Assign announcers, a weatherman, reporters,
and people to be interviewed before and after the rain begins to fall. Younger
children might enjoy drawing a picture of Noah, the ark, the animals, and the
storm. Have all the groups join together to present the broadcast. Talk to the
children about the choices the people of Noah’s time made and the consequences
of those choices. Suggest that the children share this activity with their
families. (Idea taken from
March 1997 Sharing Time Suggestion)
