ACTIVITY DETAILS BELOW
ACTIVITY: The following activity is based on My Gospel Standards; however, you can add to and enhance it for youth by adding some of the For the Strength of Youth standards.
(1) Talk to children/youth about the importance of being a missionary now, not waiting until they are called on a mission. For children/youth: Tell them they can serve a mission when they are old enough, but for now, they can be a missionary by living the gospel standards known as “My Gospel Standards” and the youth: “For the Strength of Youth” standards.
(2) Have children/youth take turns drawing a card and reading the gospel standard aloud. Then tell how living this gospel standard can help them be a missionary to their friends, family, and neighbors.
(3) As a review, cut slips of white paper to cover all of the words on the cards. Then have children/youth see if they can name the gospel standard that matches the picture on the card.
THOUGHT TREAT: Missionary Prep-Night Munchies. The TREAT IDEA (below) can be done for a children’s/Primary activity.
The following activity is for YOUTH ONLY: Plan a night where youth can go out at different ward-Church-member homes and practice being a missionary giving discussions according to the missionary guidelines with the local missionaries. After having a munch and mingle activity where you share fun treats related to missionary work.
TREAT IDEA(S): Cupcakes that have success ideas for being a missionary written on word-strips and wrapped in foil and stuffed inside cupcakes or placed in batter before baking. As guests eat their cupcake they can share the missionary tip found inside their cupcake. Or you could do the same with balloons taped to their chair.
