MUTUAL NIGHT, SUNDAY SCHOOL, SEMINARY, FAMILY HOME EVENING ACTIVITIES
GUEST SPEAKER: Have guest speakers come who have lost loved ones or close friends to cancer, emphysema, AIDS, liver disease, heart attack, stroke, etc. They can share what it was like to see their loved ones in their condition. Talk about their experiences as they assisted them and saw someone care for them. Talk about what might have been done to prevent the illness. Was it genetic? What could have been done to avoid the illness? Talk about ways to prevent disease through diet, exercise, mental and spiritual wellness, etc.
“TASTY” TASTING TABLE TALK: Have youth bring healthy food sharing how it nourishes the body. Place items on a tasting table with cards telling nutrition facts, e.g., “Carrots are good for the eyes and help prevent night blindness.” Visit a produce store that has an educational program on nutritious foods so youth can learn about fruit and vegetables and how to prepare them. Elementary schools often go to stores on field trips, and some companies, like Dole Pineapple, sponsor these kinds of programs. You could also ask your Relief Society homemaking leaders to give a demonstration on nutritious food, or a representative from the 4-H or a government agency could provide a demo.
