    Divide the children into groups.

    Give each group a scripture reference from above and have them read the account. Choose children to represent some of the scripture characters. Then have a reporter and interview them.

    1. What happened?
    2. What did you learn about the importance of temples?
    3. Ask how Simeon and Anna felt when they saw the Savior and what they knew about Him?
    4. Ask the grandchild of Lorenzo Snow how she felt when she heard her grandfather tell about when he saw Jesus.


    Talk about how we should follow the example of Jesus Christ and be more like him. List these on the chalkboard.
