Sing: "I Will be Valiant"
"One way we can be valiant is by being honest"
Show sword (paper), apples and cowboy hat..."What
do these items have to do with being honest?"
Dramatization: The honest people of AmmonSing-"Dare to do Right" All march in place. come forward row by row to bury swords in pit (brown fabric or blanket)
*Narrarate story of Alma 23 (verse 7 especially), class acts out the story, distribute paper swords to each child.
Sing-teach the first
2 lines of "I Believe in Being Honest"
Story: "Honesty and the Apples" Oct. '96Sing-teach 3rd line to "I Believe in Being Honest"
Do it as an interview to Jacob...example:
Do you like apples? I understand you didn't eat them for 30 years. Can you tell us about it? Then Jacob explain.
"Joseph F. Smith" Oct. 96Sing-teach the 4th line of "I Believe in Being Honest'
Boys in cowboy hats dramatize story, interviewer asks why they didn't harm Joseph F. Smith
Memorize "My Gospel Standards #2-stand to recite.Music leader says "We know the answer....let's sing..."I Believe in Being Honest"Apply principle:
Re-tell the story of "The Ring" Apr. 98 stop and ask "What should Aubrey do?"
Finish Aubrey’s story.Music leader has 3 or 4 songs to tie in...could share after each child shares
Asks if anyone has had an experience choosing to be honest to share.
Conclusion: Bear testimony...invites children to take sword buried from the "pit" to share story with families. Alma 23-24. challenge children to make a mark on the sword every time they are honest this week.
