I Think the World is Glorious! fact-or-fiction creation quiz
OBJECTIVE: Help the youth learn about God’s creations and how these creations can bless us, and our families here on earth.
REFERENCES: Genesis 1; D&C 59:16-20; Primary 6, lesson 3 “The Creation”; Gospel Principles, chapter 5 “The Creation”; “In the Beginning – A Latter-day Perspective” by Robert J. Woodford, Ensign, Jan. 1998, 12. Psalms 33:1–6; 95:1–6. SING “For the Beauty of the Earth” (Hymns, no. 92)
TO MAKE VISUALS Print and cut out the world and visuals and quiz questions. NOTE: You will need 14 quiz questions, one to glue on the back of each visual, except the earth. Then laminate all of the visuals, including the earth.
ACTIVITY:
1. Post the visuals on the board as shown. Then sing with the youth the song, “I think the World is Glorious” (Children’s Songbook, 230).
2. Tell the youth, “With Heavenly Father’s help Jesus created the earth, heaven, and all forms of life. They were created so that we could have a special place to live and gain a body, a place where we could be part of a family and be tested.”
Then say, “I’m wondering what you know about the Creation Let’s have a quiz to learn fun facts.”
3. Have youth come up, choose a creation, read the quiz question on the back, and guess the answer, true or false. Then have them post the creation on the earth.
4. When all questions are answered and images posted, tell youth that Healthy Father sent us here to earth to be a part of a family, to learn how we can return to Him to be tested. This earth is a special place where Heavenly Father sent Jesus to show us the way back to Him.
THOUGHT TREAT: Name That Creation Gelatin Blocks. Make 2-3 batches of Jell-O Jigglers or blocks and mix them up so different colored squares are placed in bowls. Have youth choose one at a time to eat and tell about their favorite creation.
Use this Creation Pick-a-Song or Singing Meter to think and sing about the creation. Ask children to think of ways they can take care of God’s creations. CLICK HERE or below to DOWNLOAD “The World Is Glorious” Activity ⇓
