Magnify Priesthood Activity
We just finished our first lesson on section 84 "The
Priesthood." We talked about line of authority and the important the
Priesthood plays in our lives. On Monday we are going to talk about the Oath
and Covenant part and how to Magnify their priesthood callings.
I am going to do a game that will resemble the "dating game" but I shall
call it something very clever like the "magnifying game" or the "priesthood
game." Any help with the name would be nice but I would love some help in doing
questions. I plan on drawing a name of a young woman in our class and have her go
out of the room and then drawing 3 names of priesthood holders. I will sit them in
chair up front behind a divider. (You all get the idea, I think) I will bring
our young lady in and give
her some questions to ask.... my quest of you is for your help in making up questions to
be asked. I will give you a sample and any others you can think of will be great.
Many heads are better then one.... just a note I will then switch and have
one young man and 3 young women. so I will need some 10 questions.... 5 for each
game.
Some questions:
We are out on a date and are at the movies what kind of a movie will you suggest we
attend? or We get to the movie theater and find all movies are rated R, what
will you suggest we do?
You get the idea..... I would like 5 questions for each group.... the girls may choose to
be a bit more challenging...but I would like to come up with a question on dress coming
from a young man to the girls.
Language could be another area....
So any takers out there?? ~Annette
Thanks for suggested questions that might be asked while playing the
"dating game". I think this sounds like a lot of fun. I have thought
of a few more questions that may work or be adapted:
"Will you be influenced about going on your mission when I tell you that it's not
that important to me if you go or not?"
"Just a question...What's the deal about blessing the sacrament on Sunday? Will what
we do on Friday night make a difference of you blessing the sacrament on Sunday?"
"I have a cheat sheet with all of the answers for a test that we have coming up.
How would you like to come to my house tonight and study together?"
"I have a problem with swearing...Will that bother you?"
"Our Sunday School class is so boring. How 'bout we go out in the hall and sit
instead of sitting through that boring class...after all we're still in church. What
do you think?"
"I know I'm only 15 but my parents told me it was okay to ask you to the dance next
month. Will you be able to go?"
"Hey, my friend is having a party on her house on Wednesday night, I know it's a
youth activity, but if you pick me up we can tell our parents that we're going over to the
church and then we can go to the party. They'll never know. Should we?" ~Brenda
Question:
We are at a party and someone brings a bottle of champagne to toast happy birthday to your
best friend. What will you do?
We are on a double date and on the way home, your friend who is driving decides to stop at
Byrd Park and starts kissing his girlfriend in the front seat. What will you do?
You ask me out for a date and I say yes and then the next day I tell you I can't go
because of family obligations. Later you find out I went out with someone else.
What do you think of me now?
I ask you out to go to the Prom. You say yes. Later you hear unkind things
said about me. Will you still go to the prom with me? ~Jane
Question:
You pick me up for a date and I come out wearing an immodest outfit. What will you do?
I gossip to you about my friends. What do you think of me now?
I tell you my curfew is midnight, but I obviously am not concerned about getting home on
time. Do you get me there on time anyway or just follow my lead? ~Carol
Just wanted to say thanks for the idea of the "Dating
Game"/Priesthood Game. I decided to name it Honoring Your Priesthood or
"HYP" ( I pronounced it HIP). We did a few questions yesterday and the
kids loved it and so we finished up with a few more questions today (I had to stop them so
we could move on). And one of the young Men said that it shouldn't be called Honoring Your
Priesthood for the girls it should be called Honoring Our Priesthood. I said
"that sounds good-- Oh my
goodness that spells HOP-- then we could call the game HYP/HOP" They loved it!!
Thanks for so many great ideas ~Loretta

Know the Prophets and Apostles
This came from the Seminary List-They put this together as a crossword
puzzle.
Here are the names and clues:
Hinckley (Numero Uno)
Monson (son of the first weekday)
Faust (the misguided main figure in Goethe's tale)
Packer (a good hiker is often a good back------)
Perry (Como and winkle)
Haight (the misspelled opposite of love)
Maxwell (vintage TV spy Smart with a shoe phone)
Nelson (Ozzie and Mandela)
Oaks (acorns grow into -----)
Ballard (like a long song that tells a story)
Wirthlin (unscramble Tin Whirl)
Scott (Great -----!)
Hales (unscramble shale)
Holland (The Netherlands)
Eyring (unscramble riegny)
. It would be fun to add "Do you know their
"Middle" name to the list of questions. i.e. this person has the same middle
name as the Prophet. The answer is Joseph B. Wirthlin. (I posted the list
of names earlier this week)
Get to Know Your GA's
I did this as an advisor before General Conferences. I went to the
Library and found pictures of the Quorum of the Twelve and First Presidency. On the
back there is information re: their lives, education, hobbies, etc. I played a game
with the girls where I’d show them a picture and give them information about the
person....for instance “This person was from my home town (the girls knew where I was
from), he taught seminary, he loves birds, he was called to be a general authority at the
age of ___ (I can’t remember the answer here). And so on. Then they’d
have to tell me who it was. (Boyd K. Packer).
You’d be surprised at how many faces they did not know, but by the end of the hour
they could tell me almost all of them. We had a lot of fun and had some interesting
ways of remembering names, like this man’s name is something we do not drink (Maxwell
House Coffee-Neal A. Maxwell) and This person’s name is the opposite of how Andrea
feels about Violin (which he
loved too) David B. Haight) and this man kind of looks like a famous popcorn man (Marvin
J. Ashton) and this man will be the next President (at the time it was President
Hinckley). You can tell how long ago I was an advisor :-} I tried to use things that
meant something to the girls so they’d remember. The next General Conference we’d
do it again and they’d be so excited that
they knew who the apostles were and I just keep adding things to the list of what they
could learn about that person. ~Alice
Here's a fun game to play before Conference: See how many "middle" names
you know. Bonus-which two have the same middle name??????? And which who
share a name? And does anyone share a name of a previous prophet?????-No
