THOUGHT TREAT: Feeling-face cookies. Give each child two cookies, one frosted with a smile and the other with a frown. As they eat each cookie, talk about feelings that come with that expression: smile (happy) and frown (angry, sad). Give them a mirror so they can try expressions. Show them how to look surprised (mouth open). The best expression is a smile that comes from making the right choices.

Sing “Smiles” (above) to turn frown upside-down and smile the frown away.

SINGING FUN. Sing the following song and notice the words HAPPINESS and JOY and actions that make us smile. In the song we learn that families that pray together, serve each other, and read the scriptures find JOY and HAPPINESS.
