PRINTABLE ACTIVITY SHEET: This 1/2 page activity sheet is geared for kids ages 8-14, though younger kids often enjoy the coloring pages and older kids/adults often enjoy the learning activities. They're great for reviewing or introducing gospel topics found in the reading. I hand them out along with the sacrament programs in our ward. Others use them in their church classrooms and still others use them to reinforce learning at home. They're best printed double-sided.

TEACHING IDEAS:

The activity at the end of this lesson would be great: http://thegoldenseven.blogspot.com/2012/09/yw-manual-1-lesson-29-second-coming.html?m=0

The following FHE lesson has some activities and a game that would be great for teaching about preparing for the Second Coming of Christ.

QUOTES:
"Spiritual security will always depend upon how one lives, not where one lives. I promise that if we will do our best to exercise faith in Jesus Christ and access the power of His Atonement through repentance, we will have the knowledge and power of God to help us take the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord." Russell M Nelson, "The Future of the Church: Preparing the World for the Savior's Second Coming," April 2020

"If we would do those things then, why not now? Why not seek peace while peace can be obtained? If our lamps of preparation are drawn down, let us start immediately to replenish them.

We need to make both temporal and spiritual preparation for the events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming. And the preparation most likely to be neglected is the one less visible and more difficult—the spiritual. A 72-hour kit of temporal supplies may prove valuable for earthly challenges, but, as the foolish virgins learned to their sorrow, a 24-hour kit of spiritual preparation is of greater and more enduring value." Dallin H. Oaks, "Preparation for the Second Coming," April 2004
