Jesus Christ is
the perfect example for me CSMP-booklet 2011 pg. 8 |
Identify the doctrine (following examples):
Sing “Do As I’m Doing” ( CS, 276), and ask the children
to follow you as you do several simple actions,
such as clapping your hands, stretching your
arms
above your head, or marching in place.
Ask the
children to name some things they have learned
by
following someone’s example (for example, how to
make a bed or play a game).
Write on the board
“Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me.”
Testify
that Christ was the only person who has lived on
the earth who has set the perfect example for us
to
follow. Have the children read the sentence
together.
Encourage application (sharing ideas):
Display
some pictures of Jesus loving and serving others.
Write “Jesus loved everyone” and “Jesus served
others” on the board.
Draw a heart and a hand
beneath these phrases. Tell the children that we
should follow Jesus’s example by loving and
serving
others. Give each child a piece of paper and
have them draw a heart or trace their hand. Then
invite them to write or draw something they can
do to follow Jesus’s example.
Have the children
share their ideas with the Primary and place
their
papers next to the pictures of Jesus. Sing “I’m
Trying to Be like Jesus” ( CS, 78–79).
