I am created in the image of God.
As you read Genesis 1:26–27; Moses 2:26–27; and Abraham 4:26–27, ponder what it means to be created in God’s “image” or “likeness,” male and female. Why is it important to you to know the truths in these verses? For example, how do these truths affect the way you see yourself, others, and God? How can they help you when you have negative feelings about yourself?
To help you think about these questions, try completing a sentence like this one: “Because I know I am created in God’s image, I choose to …” Reviewing “Your body is sacred” in For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices (pages 22–29) can help. Consider choosing something you will do to show God that you know your body is sacred.
In the video “God’s Greatest Creation” (Gospel Library), President Russell M. Nelson bears testimony of the miraculous human body. As you watch this video, ask yourself, “How does Heavenly Father want me to feel about my body?” How is this different from messages you might hear from others?
Instead of the game "Truth or Dare," you are playing "Truth, Choice, or Action."
On their turn, a youth chooses one bag to pick a card from:
Truth
Choice
Action
They will look like this:
Here is a sample of the Truth, Choice, and Action cards:
These are available in my store at the top or bottom of the page.
You will need these resource cards. They are free to print.
You don't have to cut these out; the squares just separate things.
If you'd like to add these wild cards for a more exciting dimension:
These are available in the store, at the top or bottom of the page.
If you choose to split into two teams, "Double draw" or "pick another player" may be advantageous for earning more points. And "Everyone answers this together" will be a team challenge.
There is also the wild card that says "Snack Break." You can choose not to add that to the bags if you don't have an extra treat for the students.
Your students may not perform well with competition. If that is the case, don't split into teams and don't add ALL the wild cards (still add the leader, answer together, and have a snack break). And take turns picking cards in a non-competitive way.
When playing, let one student draw a card and give them time to read and think. While you allow another student to draw, read, and think, do so more than one at a time to save time.
An additional activity that would be meaningful and fun. Bring sticky notes. Distribute them to the youth to write down the truths they learned in today's lesson.
Have them put them on their mirrors at home.
Close with your testimony. Or/and with this quote by President Nelson.
