Lds Jesus Will Come Again Gameboard

(L'Innocence by William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1893)

Monthly Theme : The Scriptures Teach Me about the Savior'due south Birth and Second Coming.
Monthly Scripture: "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Begetter with his angels; then he shall reward every man according to his works" Matthew 16:27.

Week ane Prophets prophesied virtually the nascency of Jesus Christ.

* Here is an "Advent Agenda: Prophecies of Christ's Coming," NewEra, December 2008, 21–25. It'd be a great handout for the children to take home to families.

* Numbers 24:17 "I shall encounter him, simply not at present: I shall behold him, just not nigh: at that place shall come a Star out of Jacob..." Who was the prophet Balaam, from the Old Attestation, prophesying would be born? Who was that Star?? Jesus!!
Have 10 unlike glow in the dark stars throughout the room. Plough off the lights and invite one Primary friend to choose 1. Turn on the light. Accept scriptures, songs and questions having to practice with this calendar week's theme attached to the stars. (OR you could simply put up these STARS)

* Here is a talk, This Shall Exist a Sign unto You lot By Whitney Hinckley (Liahona Dec. 2011) that has prophecies and the fulfillment of it. You could easily brand this into a matching game or you could give classes a prophecy or fulfillment and have them walk around the room to observe the match. Then they come upwards front to share.
* I love love beloved.... dear love honey... love love beloved... love times infinity all the people that put together fun stuff on lds.org to assistance me teach my children. God bless you whoever yous are. HERE is a link to Book of Mormon stories with visuals and audio. Chapter 40 & 41 show Samuel prophesying Christ's birth and the signs fulfilled about his birth. If you have net or can download these, information technology'd exist great to show the kids. Each segment is nigh 3 minutes. Hither is the Erstwhile Testament link, Chapter 47 is Prophets tell virtually Jesus.

* Here is an first-class shadow box idea from The Friend.

* Here is a mobile children can brand from The Friend about different prophecies.

Week ii Jesus Christ was born.

* When was Jesus born? December 25? Write downwardly different dates... take a vote, so quote the following:

After summarizing the opinions of various scholars in the matter of Christ's birthday, Elder James E. Talmage compares their conclusions with modernistic revelation and then affirms: "We believe that Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea, April 6, B.C. 1." ( Jesus the Christ, p. 104.) Of this President Harold B. Lee declared:  "This is the annual conference of the Church. April 6, 1973, is a peculiarly significant date because it commemorates non simply the ceremony of the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-twenty-four hours Saints in this dispensation, merely as well the anniversary of the birth of the Savior, our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. [Quoted D&C 20:ane ]" ( CR, April. 1973, p. 4.)

Also, a more than recent quote from Elder Russell One thousand. Nelson, "We commemorate His apprehensive nativity at this fourth dimension of twelvemonth, fifty-fifty though we know it did not occur in Dec just in April." (Christ the Savior is Built-in, Ensign, December. 2006)

* Bring in simple costumes to human activity out the story of the nativity.

* Divide into groups and requite each group a nascence. Permit them tell the story of the birth with the figurines in each group.

* Let the children make paper purse puppets to take dwelling with different people from the nativity story to share at a Family unit Home Evening.

* Whisper in a child'south ear to go to the corner and tap his nose xv times, and then sit downwards. Do it discreetly. Make pocket-size talk with the Primary and see how their week was. Did anyone find what our primary friend did in the corner while we were talking? It'due south kind of hard to see things if it's in the corner!!

"" This thing was not done in a corner ," Paul said of Christ's ministry building and the restoration of the gospel in the meridian of time. (Acts 26:26.) Indeed, the witnesses of the Savior'due south birth were many and diverse."

Divide the primary into 12 groups. Requite each group 1 of the witnesses found in THIS TALK, Twelve Witnesses of Christ's Nascence Past Joseph Fielding McConkie (Ensign Dec.1990) Groups tin brand a picture of their person. Later a few minutes have them share with the whole main who their witness to Jesus' birth was and what they learned.

*"The Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come up downwards from heaven amongst the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay" (Mosiah 3:5). Using playdough, take children create the nascence in each of their classes.* Hither is a simple Christmas matching game from The Friend.

* Hither is an excellent idea from The Friend past Sister Elizabeth Ricks. It includes visuals and scriptures.

Week 3 Jesus Christ will someday render to the earth.

* HERE is a very absurd sharing time from The Friend having to exercise with the parable of the x Virgins.

* HERE is a visual children can make of how they can be prepared when Jesus comes once more.(The Friend Dec. 2001)

* Describe pictures of what the Millennium volition be similar!! I personally would describe myself and Jesus eating chocolate water ice cream bars on the back of an elephant with rainbows and stars lighting up the heaven!

* Awesome idea from Sis Sydney Reynolds:
"To larn more almost what life will be like in the Millennium, when Christ returns to world to reign for a grand years, cull 2 children to role-play TV news ballast persons , and assign each form to choose a "field reporter" to report the grade's findings on the following subjects in the scriptures: • animals / Isa. 11:half dozen–nine; Hosea two:18 • people / Isa. 54:heading, 3; Micah 4:4; D&C 63:l–51 • nations, government / Micah 4:1–iii; Jer. 31:33; D&C 29:xi • miscellaneous—time of His coming / Matt. 24:36, 44; Zion and the render of the city of Enoch / D&C 45:66, 71; Moses 7:62–64. Have the anchor persons brand up questions for each field reporter to tell what his/her class learned virtually their subject. Tell the children that we do not know exactly when the Savior will come up, simply nosotros must be preparing to meet Him (see Matt. 25:1–13). Sing "When He Comes Again" (CS, pp. 82–83) and discuss what the things are that we need to do to "be fix there." (Dec. 1999 Friend)

* Lesson 43: Jesus Christ Will Come Again Primary ii: Choose the Right A, (1995), 235–39 supposedly has a "Jesus Volition Come Over again" board game. The link, found HERE, doesn't have it, but I'd be interested in seeing that!!

* Divide into groups and brand "Welcome Back" signs. Give each group a scripture about Jesus Christ returning to the earth and accept them illustrate or write thoughts. Have them share their work with the Primary.

Week 4 To set for the 2d Coming, I will follow Jesus Christ.

* For a FHE discussion : My girls love Disney'southward The Lion King. In the pic there is a vocal chosen "Be Prepared". Scar, the villain, is gathering an army of hyenas and telling them to "Exist Prepared" to have over the kingdom. Scar repeatedly tries to go Simba to make bad choices (What are they?), choices specifically against what his male parent has told him. Like Scar, Satan and his fallen angels are ever fix, always preparing to tempt usa and try to get us to make bad choices. We know that they are nothing compared to our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. D&C 38:30-31 says, "But if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.And that ye might escape the power of the enemy, and exist gathered unto me a righteous people, without spot and blameless"

What tin nosotros practice to fix? Discuss every bit a family!

* Play "Honey I love yous". A friend stands up front and their job is to NOT SMILE for annihilation!! Some other master friend will come up to them and attempt to make them laugh by saying "Honey, I love you" in some sort of funny phonation. The friend standing has to respond WITHOUT smiling, "Honey, I love yous too... but I still won't smiling." Is information technology difficult to stand up here when someone is trying to get you lot to practice something else?

We live in a earth that is quick to get u.s. to move from our values. Nosotros live in a globe that is evil and full of bad things happening. The 2nd coming is close, even so, our prophet has said, " be non troubled, only, "stand … in holy places, and be not moved, until the 24-hour interval of the Lord come" (D&C 87:8). Holy men stand in holy places and these holy places include our temples, our chapels, our homes, and the stakes of Zion, which are, equally the Lord declares, "for a defence, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when information technology shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth" (D&C 115:6)." (Not bad Day of the Lord by President Ezra Taft Benson May Ensign 1982)

Our dizzy game is fun. When it comes to life even so, we must never give in to those who would move us! Jesus Christ will come over again and when He does, we volition be continuing in holy places!!

* What is "the bang-up and dreadful solar day of the Lord" (D&C two:1)? What does great hateful? What nearly dreadful? Write the two words on the chalkboard. In between take a picture of the Savior. Elder Spencer V. Jones, of the 70, said, "We may take a tendency to overlook the "great" and accentuate the "dreadful." We do, even so, take control over whether nosotros personally will exist prepared for the day when the Savior comes again. Our daily decisions will make up one's mind whether that solar day is "great" or "dreadful." (Messages from the Doctrine and Covenants: Finding Promise in the Second Coming June Ensign 2005) Brainstorm ideas of decisions people make and write them under great or dreadful, depending on their result... For example, reading scriptures would be written under neat.

(RECYCLED IDEAS from previous posts)

* Have a child come up and hold a rock. Ask the primary what will happen if the child drops the stone? It falls. Accept another child come up and demonstrate. There are things we know without whatever question that are going happen. But like we are certain and know Jesus will come again.

* Learn the tenth Article of Faith vocal.Give the children popsicle sticks to larn the melody and move it upwardly or down every bit they sing. Challenge a child to come up and be a dictionary. Have them concur a dictionary. Inquire them the meaning of words in this article of organized religion that are big. Display GAK 238 The 2nd Coming and have the children share what they remember it will be similar when Jesus comes again.

* Show the video segment of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin from Special Witnesses of Christ. Take a nascency with scriptures, songs and questions attached near when Jesus will come once again. The first time He came was amazing and and so the 2d time will exist!!

* Interesting Fact: "The Lord deals with this people as a tender parent with a child, communicating light and intelligence and the knowledge of his ways as they tin can conduct it. The inhabitants of the earth are asleep; they know no the day of their visitation. The Lord hath set up the bow in the deject for a sign that while it shall be seen, seed time and harvest, summer and winter shall not fail; but when it shall disappear, woe to that generation, for behold the cease cometh quickly." (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith Compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, p.305)
