Choosing the Right through the Scriptures

Our theme this year is "Choose the Right."  A great way to keep that theme in the children's minds -- and the program songs, is to find ways people in the scriptures chose the right - or didn't.  Choose 7 or 8 pictures (from the ward library or your own) of people in the scriptures that depict them choosing the right.

• Lehi and the liahona
• Nephi building the ship
• Moroni and the Standard of Liberty
• 2000 Stripling Warriors
• Abraham sacrificing Issac
• Judas betraying Christ (poor choice)
• Peter denying Christ (poor choice)
• Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden (poor choice)
• Joseph Smith praying in the grove
• Pioneers - crossing the plains, the crickets, building a temple, etc.

Choose your favorites or the children's favorites.  Sing one of the program songs then hold up a picture and ask the children to tell about the choice that is being made in it.  Continue singing a song and talking about one picture after the song as time permits.
