"How can we Follow the Prophet?"
(by Sally in Utah)

I attended an area Primary meeting, the 2 members from the General Primary Board presented a Sharing Time on The 6 B's.
Here is my notes:

*Resources Feb. 2001 Friend, Article about the 6 B's. Pictures from Primary 1, 2,& 3 manuals. (*All Church Approved)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She had printed up a scripture and glued it to the back of the picture.
Also, on a bulletin board, she had each of the B's printed up on papers.
The object was to match the picture/scripture with the "B" that it matched! (This is a matching game!)
As you match them, hang each picture next to it's match on the bulletin board. She also had a song to go with each one. We sang the song after the match was made from the picture/scripture to one of the 6 B's! So, we were able to "reinforce" the gospel principle being taught with music.

Pass out the pictures before Sharing Time to 6 children.
(In my ward we usually hide things under their chairs, so they look and whoever finds it is surprised! You could divide the pictures up and give 1 to each class, too.)

Picture: Mother and son saying mealtime prayer
Scripture: D & C 59:7
Song: "For Health and Strength"
It Matches: BE GRATEFUL

Picture: Children reading scriptures
Scripture: D & C 130:18
Song: "Wise Man/Foolish Man"
It Matches: BE SMART

Picture: Boy in White Shirt
Scripture: 1 Cor. 3:16
Song: "The Lord gave me a Temple"
It Matches: BE CLEAN

Picture: Baptism
Scripture: Due. 6:18
Song: "Stand For The Right"
It Matches: BE TRUE

Picture: Primary Teacher Teaching Children
Scripture: D & C 112: 10
Song: "Teach me to walk in the light "
It Matches: "BE HUMBLE"

Picture: Little girl praying
Scripture: Psalms 55:16
Song: "I Pray in Faith"
It Matches : BE PRAYERFUL

After completing the matching game, she had the pianist play the last 2 lines of "Stand for The Right" and we sang along.

While we sang, she walked around the room and at the end of the song, stopped and whoever she stopped by, she called on them to give an example of something they could do to live the 6 B's. (You could do this as many times as you wanted)

Some examples given were:
1. I told me friends that I couldn't play on Sunday, because I want to keep the Sabbath day holy.
2. I went to a Party and they were showing a movie that made me uncomfortable and had a rating that I knew was not good, so I told them I didn't want to watch it.
3. I went to the store one day and the cashier gave me back too much change and so I took it back in to her when I realized it, ETC.

The kids can think of anything that they can do or have done to help them live the 6 B's!
At the conclusion, she said that if you had time you could hand out papers and crayons and have the children draw a picture about one of the 6 B's, or all of them.
 

Encourage them to take it home and share with their family what they have learned that day. This was strongly emphasized! As was Music. Music teaches the Gospel, it's powerful and it reinforces Gospel Principles!
