Doctrine and Covenants 84:17–32

I have access to God’s priesthood power and blessings.

When you think of the word priesthood, what comes to mind? How does God’s priesthood power influence your life?

After pondering these questions, you might study Doctrine and Covenants 84:17–32, looking for what God wants you to know about His priesthood power. Consider how you could use these verses to describe the priesthood and its purposes to someone.

One thing you’ll find is that through priesthood ordinances “the power of godliness is manifest” (see verses 19–21). Perhaps you could list the priesthood ordinances you have participated in (the lists in General Handbook, 18.1, 18.2, can help). How have these ordinances—and the associated covenants—brought God’s power into your life? What would your life be like without them?

President Russell M. Nelson taught: “Every woman and every man who makes covenants with God and keeps those covenants, and who participates worthily in priesthood ordinances, has direct access to the power of God” (“Spiritual Treasures,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2019, 77). Consider studying President Nelson’s message, looking for ways you can “draw the Savior’s power into [your] life.”

Let's play Priesthood Jeopardy.

Here is your first Free Prints. This is a good start. If you don't want to buy my lesson bundle, you can still make your own game.

Print this 5 times, preferably on 5 different colors of card stock.

I'm going to prepare my game beforehand on a trifold board like this:

For more information about the trifold boards and the materials needed, please refer to the bottom of the page. (I changed woman to women, but it's fine for my class)

If you are preparing at the last minute, you can use your chalkboard, magnets, and black-and-white paper. It is still very doable.

I will probably separate into two different teams; it definitely keeps the attention. But there are always those kids who sit back and let the other kids do all the work. So I am going to make a rule that everyone will have their turn to pick a number, and it will be their sole responsibility to answer it. They can seek help from their team, but ultimately, it is up to them.

Here is a sample for one of the question cards (available in my store):

Here is a sample of the grid that displays the answers, also available in my store.

There are also these that they can scan to help them find answers to the questions. You will need these. If you are missing anything or can't download something, don't hesitate to message me through Etsy Messenger.

Please don't hesitate to message me on Etsy if you encounter any other issues.

This is already in the lesson bundle, but you can purchase it separately by clicking on the image.

Trifold:

NOTICE how Temple, Ordinances, and Personal are smaller words? If you are using the trifold, I've made those smaller so they will fit. You can print them here:

Temple and Ordinance

Personal

This is a large Trifold foam board that I purchased years ago from Hobby Lobby, but I don't recall the exact cost. But I was at Walmart to get the neon paper, and I snapped a couple of pictures, so you will know the prices:

There is a 3rd option if you don't want to spend that much.

It is a bit smaller, so you may be able to overlap and make it work. Alternatively, if the worst comes to worst, you can simply put one row on the board.

Lastly, here is the price of the paper:

I taped the questions to the board and simply paper-clipped the numbers.

I hope that helps.
