Handout Idea from Christy's Clipart
Your Light Reflects



Deseret Book
I would like to share an idea with you that was very powerful for my girls.  I went with the whole "you are always being watched" take on the lesson.  I told the girls that they always needed to be making right choices because they never knew who was watching.  At the end of class I told them that I had some special guests.  I had pre-arranged to have 6 primary girls out in the hall with a little poem that I had written for each of my Mia Maids.  The poems were basic..."Brittany, I'm watching and I want to be like you....if I could do gymnastics and dance the way you do." or "Kristin, I'm watching and I want to be like you...you always smile and you're so kind, I want to be that way, too." or  "Jessica, I'm watching and if I could only be...half the loving sister that you've always been to me."  Anyway...you get the point.  As these little girls came in they walked up one by one and stood in front of the girls who's poem they had.  They read the poem to the girl and then handed them the poem and a handout that I had made.  It just said "Set a righteous example, someone is watching you."   I attached a cheap pair of sunglasses to the handout.  Can I just tell you how powerful this was?  The girls were truly touched and their wasn't a dry eye.   I then bore my testimony that I would be proud to have my daughter grow up to be like any one of them.  (My daughter was one that read a poem, she is 10 years old.)  Anyway, I hope that this could be useful to someone.  (Jan)
