October 2013 Plans

October 20, 2013
reverent: Jesus Said Love Everyone
B-day: You've Had a Birthday
Welcome: Saying "hello" is fun to do...

Theme: I can share the gospel with my family and friends.

Make postcards with actual names of missionaries from our ward asking a question.
*Dear Elder/Sister (insert name of real missionary from you ward/area)

Have children match the song that could answer that question.
*I listed the songs on the board so they could narrow it down.

2 kids will be up front dressing up as missionaries:
*they get one article of clothing per song
*I chose a boy and a girl. If the question was for a Sister then the girl would get to have the clothing prop that matched the song.

 Sing the song and pass the envelope around the room. When the song ends, whoever has the envelope takes out a postcard and reads the next question. The children choose the song that answers that question.
