Have two children throw and catch a ball.
Explain that if the children don’t pay attention, they won’t catch the ball. Compare catching a ball to listening to the prophet. (See “Comparisons,”TNGC, 163–64.)

Read D&C 21:5.
Ask, “What can we do to be ready to receive the words of the prophet?”

Divide into small groups.
Let each group select a picture of a latter-day prophet (GAK 400, 507–20) and read the information on the back.
Ask each group to share something they learned about that prophet.

Testify that we are led by a living prophet today.
Sing “We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet” (Hymns, no. 19; GP, 344).
