Prophet Quiz

We are preparing for General Conference this week through singing time.  This activity is quite revealing as to how much we know about our prophet.  Encourage the teachers to help the children.

Choose ten pictures of prophets throughout time and include a couple of latter-day prophets.  Tape them on the board so all can see them.  Leave room next to or under each picture to tally how much they know about each.  Choose 10 songs, some that you would like to review, a few action songs and prophet songs.  Put the class names in a jar- Sunbeams, 4 - 5 year-olds, etc.  Put the titles of the songs in another jar.  Choose a child to pick a song.  Sing it.  You pick from the class jar and ask the class to tell one thin about one of the prophets on the board.  Put a tally mark under each picture that the children know something about.  The hope is that there is a mark under each picture by the end of singing time.

Possible questions to help them start thinking:

• Why do you remember him?
• What story do you remember about him?
• How did he serve the Lord?
• What book of scripture do we read about him?
• What do we learn from him?

*Make sure that you have some hints or uncommon facts about each prophet so you can help the children.
