(I'm trying out google docs for pdf files. Just click where it says download 1 mb. There are 3 pages. If you have any troubles w/ the pdf print email me, I'll send it to you.)
Display picture of President Monson and discuss how blessed we are to be led by living prophets. Prophets are inspired to speak for the Lord, just like Moses, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Nephi and Mormon. We sustain the president of the church, Thomas S. Monson, as a prophet, seer and revelator. What does this mean? Place word strips on the board and discuss.
Just like prophets long ago, our prophet testifies of Jesus Christ and teaches His gospel. They denounce sin and warn of consequences and they are even inspired to prophesy future events. We can always trust the prophet, they speak for Heavenly Father and will never lead us astray.
D&C 1:38 "What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same"
We can be safe if we follow the prophet. Our Heavenly Father promises us great blessings if we follow what our prophet says. When we follow the prophet, we are following Jesus Christ.
Today we're going to practice following the prophet. Being a prophet, seer and revelator is like having special glasses, glasses that help you see things that other people can't see. Invite child to come forward and put on the giant glasses and be the "prophet."
Around the room are some hidden truths that our prophet revealed to us at general conference. Invite another child to come up and be blind folded. We can't see these truths, we need to follow the prophet if we want to get to them. The blind folded child will have to closely follow the voice of the prophet in order to maneuver around the primary room and safely get a light bulb. The "prophet" child will walk beside and guide them with their voice.
On the back of each of the light bulbs I will write something Pres. Monson mentioned during general conference, maybe having charity towards others, paying tithing, having family home evening, etc. and as they take each light bulb down we'll discuss if we follow it, how we can follow his counsel and why it's important.

What a great idea! Thank you for taking the time to share it.
Hi Camille, I found your blog from sugardoodle.net and I am amazed! I love your aprons and crafts ideas, they're so cute. And I can't wait to try some recipes you shared. And of course the sharing time ideas. I really enjoy reading your blog. Thanks so much for sharing these. :-)
thanks for the idea... this will help alot
Thank you so much for your idea and the print out pages. The glasses were going to be huge, so I crimped the nose bridge (so you can still see "seer") and attached pipe cleaners so it is more adjustable. Instead of blind folding someone and leading them (I'm afraid of some of our children leading each other!) I'm going to have the "prophet" pop into a classroom I'll partition of in our Primary room. To see the things the rest of the children cannot. I think we'll have a lot of fun with this. Thanks for being a life saver!
Thanks for the idea! It will make our sharing time fun!
