YOUTH USING HANDOUTS

Tell the youth, “These handouts (with children or youth illustrated) are TEACHING TOOLS they can collect to teach:
1) while on their mission, 2) to Primary children or other youth; 3) to your siblings or family, 4) to your future children.”

Other great TEACHING TOOLS are the Book of Mormon and Articles of Faith Quiz-bee card decks (at DeseretBook.com).
