TO FIND LESSON: Present Lesson 20 – Primary 5 Manual – Doctrine and Covenants-Church History: Joseph Smith Translates the Bible and Other Scriptures
OBJECTIVE: To help youth understand Joseph Smith’s role in bringing forth the scriptures and to encourage them to study the scriptures.
LESSON-MATCH ACTIVITY: Review enrichment activity 5 in the manual for which the following activity illustrates.
ACTIVITY: Scattered Scriptures Mix-n-Match
Increase a youth’s love for the scriptures by mixing and matching these scriptures. But watch out! These dual-match cards may fool you (e.g., the “if ye love me” card could also match with the “. . . care for the soul, and for the life of the soul” card, but it doesn’t. It matches with the “keep my commandments” card).
TO MATCH CARDS: Mix up cards in two separate piles facedown on the table or floor as follows.
Card Pile 1: Place cards that begin with capital letters on the LEFT.
Card Pile 2: Place the . . . cards on the RIGHT.
• Take turns picking up two cards (one from each pile) to make a scripture match.
• Read matched cards aloud.
• If playing in teams, the team with the most matches wins.
THOUGHT TREAT Standard Works Bite-size Cookies. Stack four graham crackers or wafer-type cookies on top of each other with frosting (for display only). The four cookies represent the four standard works.
Tell the youth that eating the stack all at once would be hard. However, if you were to eat it a bite at a time, it would be easy … just like reading the scriptures a verse at a time would be easy. Give children one cookie with frosting or a stack of graham crackers to break into four pieces to frost. Then eat one bite at a time.
