GAME GETTING FAMILY READY FOR TEMPLE WORK

ACTIVITY: Finding Temple Worker’s Concentration

INTRODUCE: Tell children:

There are temple ordinances such as baptisms, endowments, and sealings that need to be performed for people who were not baptized or sealed to their families before they died.
We can prepare to serve in the temple by learning about our ancestors and doing family history work.
We can read personal family histories to learn about our ancestors, and we can check records to learn if this important work has been done.
Let’s learn about some girls and boys who are helping their ancestors, and about these ancestors who are waiting to have this important temple work done.

TO PLAY:

With images on the board set up, have children take turns uncovering two face hearts to make a match. To set up the board, see instructions #2 and 3 at the top of the page.

To make a match, pay attention to the names, e.g., Kayla, who is doing the temple work for Aunt Sadie, will match up with Aunt Sadie, who is looking for Kayla to do her baptismal work.
Ways to Play: You could divide into teams and take turns playing, or toss a beanbag or ball over your shoulder to choose the next player.
