MUTUAL NIGHT OR FAMILY NIGHT ACTIVITIES
STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS (Compare to the Spirit – the Holy Ghost):
1. Create a room full of clutter with a bouquet of flowers in the center of the table. Have dirty dishes on the table. Scatter magazines, papers, and clothes all over the floor. Have a dust cloth, vacuum, a pan of dish soap, and a dishcloth to wash dishes available. Ask youth to enter the room, sit down, and write down their feelings.
2. Ask youth to go out, but have a few stay after and help clean up the room. Leave the bouquet of flowers in the center of the table.
3. Ask youth to come back into the room and write down their impressions. Say, “The bouquet of flowers you see can be compared to the Holy Ghost in our lives. The first time you saw this room, you saw a room full of clutter. You may not have noticed the flowers. But when the room was free of clutter, you might have seen the flowers first. This is how it is with the Holy Ghost. When our minds are free of clutter, we are free to listen to and enjoy Heavenly Father’s spirit.”
4. Make a list of things that clutter their lives that might prevent us from listening to the Spirit (for example, not doing homework, not going to church, not reading the scriptures, not helping around the house, not going to seminary, etc.)
5. Blindfold one of the youth, saying, “Sometimes we blindfold ourselves with things that don’t matter and neglect the things that do matter.” Ask youth what our decisions would be without the influence of the Holy Ghost.
