*Sorry about the yucky lighting on this photo. Me and my camera weren't quite in agreement with eachother this morning!*Attention Activity: 'Peanuts vs. Snickers Bar' (This wasn't my idea, but it was the perfect idea! Click on the link for the full description.)
- As a class, come up with a list of worthy goals. ie, temple marriage, graduating college, graduating seminary, serving a mission, fasting on fast Sunday,etc.
- Each class member then thinks of one goal.
- Hand the YW 3 peanuts in the shell. This represents things we are willing to give up in order to get the thing we desire.
- Each YW states 3 things they would give up in order to obain their goal, and puts one peanut back for each statement.
- Ask - What is the definition of 'Sacrifice'? (Giving up something of value for something that is worth more.)
- Hand each YW a Snickers Bar and ask if any wanted to exchange back their candy for the 3 peanuts.
My favorite quote I used in this lesson is actually printed on the reverse side of the "Sacrifice" Bar. It says:
"It is not a sacrifice to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is never a sacrifice when you get back more than you give. It is an investment...a greater investment than any...Its dividends are eternal and everlasting" (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, 567-68)
