Mormon Ad Activity

                     

 

We started off the activity by showing the kids different Mormon ads from New Era magazines. 

 

We used a table to recreate the mutual support Mormon ad, luckily the YM pres is an amazing artist and is a pro with photoshop and was able to take the table out of the picture and added the title and logo so it looked like a real mormonad. Awesome! 

We then split into groups and the groups picked a scripture from a bag (I had taken the scriptures from the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet)

Then they chose another bag with a prop in it.  I had picked random things from around the house to put in the bags.  They were given a poster board and had to come up with a Mormon ad that went with the scripture and the prop. They had to design the poster and come up with a skit to go along with it.  I think we gave them 5-10 minutes to create them.  They were really creative! Some examples:

prop: water gun
Scripture: Praise the Lord with Music and Dancing

prop: sun hat
scripture:virtue loveth light
 




prop: glue
scripture: D&C 58:43 "By this ye may  know if a man repenteth of his sins--behold he will confess them and forsake them
Slogan: You Don't have to be stuck to your sins, You can Repent!
fabulous!

prop: sponge
Scripture: know ye not that  ye are the temple of God
They used another poster board to make a sponge bob "costume", more amazing artists!

 

 

At the end we discussed the scriptures and where we could find them.  I bore testimony of the importance of following the For the strength of Youth.
