SECOND COMING “Be Prepared” Game
YOUTH can teach this to children.
OBJECTIVE: Lesson helps youth be prepared for the second coming of Jesus.
President Spencer W. Kimball’s ideas (2 and 3 in the lesson activity) on providing oil for our lamps, “drop by drop in righteous living,” and the five virgins who were ready for the great day that the bridegroom (Jesus) came.
To Play: Divide youth into two teams (or two players competing). Give each a coin or button marker to place on START. Teams/Players take turns drawing and reading a word-strip aloud. Follow instructions, e.g., “move one”, “move back”, “lose a turn”). The first team to make it to the end (Second Coming) wins!
TO MAKE Print in color (or color page). Print and cut out wordstrips and place in a container. Provide two different coins or buttons for markers.
THOUGHT TREAT: Second Helping of Second Coming Mints. Give youth a few mints and talk about the Second Coming of Jesus. Say, “Jesus ‘mint’ for all of us to live with Heavenly Father again.” Give them a second helping of mints and say, “Jesus wants us to prepare for His coming so we can have blessings of eternal life (to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again). We don’t know when He will come, so let’s try each day to live the commandments so we will be ready.”
