Tell the children that they will be reporting on the great news that Jesus Christ will return to the earth someday.

Choose two children to pretend to be TV or newspaper reporters who will ask each class some questions.
Give each class one or two of the following questions and scripture references and a few minutes to prepare:

• What are some signs of Jesus’s Second Coming? (Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:28–29);
• How will He come? (Matthew 24:29–31);
• When will He come? (Matthew 24:36, 42, 44);
• What will happen to the righteous people when He comes? (D&C 88:96–97);
• What will the government be like after He comes? (Articles of Faith 1:10; D&C 29:11; 45:58–59);
• What will animals be like after He comes? (Isaiah 11:6–9; Hosea 2:18).

Have the two children who are acting as reporters take turns asking the questions, and have each group respond.

Discuss with the children ways that we can be prepared for Jesus to come again.
Emphasize that if we live righteously, we have no need to fear. Invite them to discuss this with their parents at home.

Sing “When He Comes Again” (CS, 82–83).
