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.
