(Friend April 2003 suggestion # 1 ) |
On separate pieces of paper, write the following scripture references but not the subject matter shown in parentheses:
Moses 6:64–66 (Adam is baptized);
Matthew 3:13–17 (Jesus Christ is baptized);
Acts 2:1, 38, 41 (Day of Pentecost—3,000 people are baptized);
Mosiah 18:14–17 (Alma baptizes in the waters of Mormon);
Joseph Smith—History 1:68–72 (Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery are baptized).
Divide the Primary into five groups, give each group a reference slip, and have them read it and form a discussion panel.
Have the rest of the Primary ask each panel questions about the scripture, such as:
"Who was baptized?"
"Where did this take place?"
"How did the people feel when they heard the teachings?"
"How would baptism help the people?"
"How were those baptisms like your own baptism?" (With proper authority, by immersion, with the names being added to Church records, with Heavenly Father being pleased at the action, etc.)
Sing songs from the CS about baptism, and testify of the blessings you received because of your baptism.
