FHE Jan 9 - Primary Sharing Time

This lesson is mostly taken from the January 2012 issue of the Friend.

Purpose:  To help family members understand that we were given the freedom to make choices.  To help family members learn how to make good choices.

Preparation:
Print out the 2 Nephi 2:27
Print out the words to "As a Child of God"
Create this cube from the Friend.  I'd print it on card stock.
Make this yummy healthy treat.

Opening Song: As a Child of God
Opening Prayer:
Scripture:  2 Nephi 2:27

Lesson:  Agency is a gift from God.  Is the freedom to make choices.  All choices come with consequences.  Consequences are the the things that happen after we make a choice.  For example, if I choose to touch a hot stove then my hand will get burned and will likely hurt for a few days.  Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us to choose to make good choices.  What are some choices we make everyday?

CTR game:  For this I changed the choices to match the age of my kids... toddler/pre-school.  The six choices I chose:
-Mommy asks you to pick up your toys.  What do you do?
-Your brother hits you.  What do you do?
-It's time to get in bed and you want one more Daddy story.  What do you do?
-You want to go outside and play.  What do you do?
-The deacons are passing the sacrament.  What do you do?
-Daddy asks you to wash hands before dinner.  What do you do?

Conclusion:  Every time we make a choice we use our agency.  Heavenly Father gave us agency because he loves us.  He wants us to choose the right.

Closing Prayer:
