The post Big Kids General Conference Bi... appeared first on Fab N' Free.

The activity was to have the Women go from room to room, experiencing the Life of Christ, from his birth to his Resurrection.  These were the rooms that we did and the order that we did them.

1. The Birth of Jesus Christ
2. Jesus Christ’s Teachings and Ministry
3. The Last Supper
4. The Garden of Gethsemane
5. The Crucifixion
6.  The Resurrection

Each Leader was in charge of a different room, I was in charge of The Crucifixion and that is the room that I will go into the most detail about, but I will explain all of the rooms.  I wasn’t able to see what happened in all of the rooms because I was preparing my room, but her are the things that our leaders did and a few ideas of my own…  **If you have other ideas, leave them in the comments and I will add them to the list.

The Birth of Jesus Christ

Ideas:

• Life size nativity set up, or even use real people.
• Show a video of the Nativity.
• Discuss the importance of the Nativity.

Jesus Christ’s Teachings and Ministry

Ideas:

• Our Leader had the room filled with image of Christ Teaching and various stories of Christ.  She asked the girls to help her discuss their favorite stories of Christ and what his teachings have taught them and how they have been able to apply his example in their lives.  She also shared a few specific stories of Women and how he treated them and loved them and related it to the Love that Jesus has for us as Women and Daughters of God.
• You could act out a Story from Christ’s Teachings.

The Last Supper

Ideas:

• Our Leader had the Bishop come dressed as an Apostle and he shared the story of the Last Supper from the perspective of an Apostle.
• You could display and let the girls try bread from the time period.
• You could tell the story of the Last Supper and display images.

The Garden of Gethsemane

Ideas:

• Our Leader had the room very dark with only a single light behind a rock that she had made from cardboard.  Behind the rock, there were also artificial trees, to give the visual that we were in the Garden.  She spoke with the girls about the meaning of the word “Gethsemane” and its relation to an Olive press.  She spoke with the girls about the Atonement and what happened in the Garden.  Then she played the primary song “Gethsemane” and ended with her testimony

The Crucifixion

This is what I did for my room. I turned on  these 2 songs, in this order:

• There is a Green Hill Far Away by The Lower Lights
• He Died! the Great Redeemer Died by Millennial Choirs & Orchestras & Jenny Oaks Baker

I first had them wait in the hall and let them in one at a time.  I had this sign displayed, asking them to not talk and to quietly ponder the Crucifixion.

I let them in one at a time with about 30 seconds to a minute between them, so that they could read the signs on the tables with out feeling crowded.  On the tables, I displayed photos and cards that had descriptions of the horrors of Crucifixion.  I displayed them in chronological order.  I got most of the images from LDS.org in their Media Library HERE.

When they finished reading and got to the end of the table, I handed them a nail with the quote attached “Father, Forgive them, for they know not what they do” and I quietly asked them to have a seat in the room next to us, which had what appeared to look like the body of Christ wrapped and laid in the Tomb.  They waited their until everyone finished, and at that point, we lead them out of the room to move on to the next room.  **The Quote and cards are included in a free download that you can get at the bottom of the page**

The Resurrection

Ideas:

• Our Leader had the room lit brighter, which was a good contrast to the last 2 rooms, and in the middle, there was a table covered in white with what appeared to be empty wrappings, showing that the Savior’s body was gone.  She had the chairs in a half circle around the table where we sat and there were balloons on the chairs.  She changed the tone from sadness to excitement and rejoicing.  She was dressed as a Woman from the era, and she pretended to be a Woman who watched Mary from afar and she watched the story from the time that Mary found an empty tomb, until the time that Jesus Showed himself to his disciples.
• You could also sho the video of the resurrection.

Thanks for reading through!  For our girls and us, this activity felt inspired and perfect, we had several tender mercies putting it together.  I hope that you find some of these suggestions useful.  Feel free to download the free printables below and use them.  If you share this, please give credit and include a link to this page.

If you haven’t noticed… the church has announced changes to Visiting Teaching.  This month, there was a lesson and so I have designed the handouts the same, but until next month, I am not sure how our handouts are going to look, but we will adapt them the best we can. Stay tuned and we will introduce it next month!

This month, I included 2 quotes, one from the lesson, and one from Thomas S. Monson for the new year.  Click on the images below to download the handouts.

Hi Ladies!  I am so glad to be doing these handouts again for you.  Not only did you want it, but I need it!  It helps me be a better Visiting Teacher.

Because November’s Ensign is the General Conference Edition, instead of a Lesson page, I have provided a General Conference Checklist.  I love these, because I can go back through and re-read or re-listen to all of the talks again.  I hope they make a great handout to remind your Sisters to go back and listen again.

The quote that I chose for the month is from President Uchtdorf’s talk: A Yearning for Home

“Turn your soul toward the light. Begin your own wonderful journey home. As you do so, your life will be better, happier, and more purposeful.” – President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

If you are new here, this is how our Visiting Teaching printables work:

1. I ALWAYS create a 4×6 quote jpeg image (so that you can easily use Shutterfly, or Walmart, or whomever you want to print them with, and…
2. ALSO format the quote as two 4x6s on a full sheet of paper, so that if you want to print them at home too, it is just as easy!
3. I make a full sheet lesson handout to match the quote.  This page includes the whole lesson.  I think it is especially great for those Sisters that you might be able to only leave something on their doorstep.

And here’s an idea for you, pick up a 4×6 plastic frame with a magnet on it for the fridge, and give one to all of your ladies with their quote for the month.  Tell them to KEEP the frame, so that EVERY month, you can come back and print a new 4×6 for their frame.  That way, they have a FRESH new quote every month on their fridge reminding them of the lesson and more importantly, reminding them that YOU are there for them whenever they need you!

“What is the Yellow pumpkin?

My son was four, and dressed like a dragon for Halloween. It was his first Halloween that he choose what he wanted to be and it was very special to us. My son was diagnosed a year earlier with Apraxia of Speech. Apraxia is a neurological disorder that effects a child’s ability to communicate verbally, so for us to “hear”him choose his costume and get ready to say a very modified version of “trick or treat” was overwhelmingly exciting! He walked up… and rang his first doorbell, said his “words” and got a piece of candy in his pumpkin. He was happy. I was proud.

I chose the quote: “The home is to be God’s laboratory of love and service” by Russell M. Nelson, because I loved the phrase “God’s laboratory”!  Just really fun imagery.  Like always, I have included a 4×6 Print that you can print at your local print shop, as well as a full page that you can print and cut out at home.  I have also included a full page print out of the entire lesson.

I ALSO have a General Conference Checklist!! This was my Sister-In-Law’s idea!! You can print one for your Sisters and for yourself. It is a simple checklist of all the talks from General Conference, so that you can keep track of which one’s you have re-read or re-listened to. Genius!! Thank my SIL

Lastly, I loved the design for this quote and I made extra sizes (4×6, 5×7, & 8×10) and one additional chalkboard version that I am offering in my new Etsy Shop for only $2.99!! This would make a cute permanent Quote to hang in your home, don’t you think??
