This is a very short lesson so I am going to teach what's in the book and then play a game called WHO WHAT WHERE WHY HOW. You divide the class up in two groups and there is about 7 or so questions with each title. Each team takes turns picking which title they want. The questions are something to go along with having the knowledge to teaching. Example: WHERE was the latest temple built? Or WHAT did some women in the parable of the lamps run out of?



Christy's Clipart
Go to a pharmacy and get some medicine bottles.  Fill them with jelly beans or similar candy.  Put the following phrase on the label: "I can prepare my friends to heart the gospel and the best vitamin for making friends is B-1."

Challenge the girls to teach their next Family Home Evening.  If they say, "We don't have FHE."  Reply be saying, "What better time to get started than now?"  You may want to prepare an outline or something to help them get started.
Explain that by developing the qualities and attributes listed in Doctrine and Covenants 4, we can be an example to many others and interest them in the Church. Discuss ways they can be good examples so other people will want to learn about the Church.
For my lesson, I came in late and disrupted opening exercises. I had six pieces of gum in my mouth, my bag full to bursting, nothing ready in the room, and when our Laurel turned the time over to me I just sent her a blank stare and blew a bubble before I said, "It's not my turn to teach." I really had them going as I fumbled and made my way to the front. I kept up the act as I set up the table, put out handouts, and listened to them whisper.  Then I asked them to think about the best teacher they've ever had and what qualities that teacher has. How their lessons are taught and how much time is spent preparing for that lesson. Then we discussed the difference in the beginning of our class and their favorite teachers' classes. Our YW really focused on different teaching styles and why it doesn't have to be intimidating.  It made an impact - more of one than I had thought. I used the article from the September New Era that was suggested. I was shocked at how much my YW got into this one. (Idea by Stephanie Thomas / ga05312007)

Set up a row of dominoes. Place them on end just far enough apart so that if one is knocked down, it will knock down the next one. As you knock the first domino down, ask them to observe the chain reaction. Call attention to the effect of one domino upon all the others. Explain that we too may affect the lives of others (family and friends) in a chain reaction. By sharing the gospel with even one person, we sometimes touch the lives of many others.



“Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her Church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.” (President Ezra Taft Benson)
