Activity: One of God’s Greatest Gifts (Scripture Treasure Hunt)
Ann Jamison, “Sharing Time: One of God’s Greatest Gifts,” Friend, Jun 2000, 43 Hide the treasure chest and then follow this idea from the Primary 2 Manual
“Have one child leave the group for a moment while you hide the item. When the child returns, explain that he or she must listen carefully to find the object. Use a quiet noise, such as lightly tapping a pencil, gently clapping your hands, or humming a song, to show the child which way to turn to look for the hidden object. Gently tap when the child looks in the correct direction. Tap more quickly (or hum louder) as the child moves closer to the hiding place, until the item is found. Repeat the activity, giving another child an opportunity to look for the object, as often as desired.
Explain to the children that they may be guided in their lives by listening to the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost. Remind them that the Holy Ghost does not always speak out loud. Sometimes he gives us ideas or feelings, such as a warm feeling when we do something right or a bad feeling when we do (or want to do) something wrong. We must pay careful attention to know what the Holy Ghost is telling us to do.”
Members of your family can take turns picking a jewel from the treasure chest, finding the scripture, and filling in the blank with the help of other family members or they can guess the word to save time. The jewels can be tied to candy as well to lead into the refreshment portion of this FHE.
