ACTIVITY: Faithful Saints Guessing Game
To Play:
1. Divide into two teams and take turns drawing a clue card.
2. Lay picture cards on the floor or table faceup and the clue cards in a pile facedown.
3. Read the description card (of the faithful saint) and guess which picture card it matches. If the guess is wrong, the other team has a chance to guess. When the guess is right, that team collects the matching picture and cue card. The team with the most cards wins.

TO MAKE Print and cut out the picture and cue cards on cardstock paper.
THOUGHT TREAT Testimony Popcorn Balls.
. POP 4-5 CUPS OF POPPED POPCORN and place it on a metal cookie sheet (rather than a bowl as it will help you pour the hot syrup onto the popcorn more evenly).
. TO MAKE POPCORN SYRUP. Cook 2 tablespoons butter, 1½ cups brown sugar, and 5–6 tablespoons water (boiling the mixture for 3–6 minutes to softball stage). To test, drop ¼ teaspoon of boiling syrup into a cup of cold water; if it forms a soft ball, the mixture is ready.
Then, pour hot syrup over the popcorn and form the balls.
Tell the youth that corn is the seed for popcorn. Warm the corn and the popcorn pops. Warm your faith and a testimony ‘pops’ into your heart/life.
ACTIVITY INCLUDES – SCRIPTURE CHALLENGE CARD: Help youth Search and Ponder this scripture card by filling in the blanks. PRINT this 5 x 7 scripture card from the pdf included with the above activity. You can punch the two holes on the left and tie a ribbon to attach cards or use two metal rings to connect cards.
Ether 12:12-13 “If there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith. Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth.”
