As A Child Of God - Chorus

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:
         The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

Ask, what is the special light that we recieve?
It is the light of Christ.

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:         
The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

Read Scripture: D&C 84:45

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:

Read Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:


When I choose to keep the commandments the Holy Ghost will be my constant companion.

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:
        The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

Read Scripture: Moroni 10:5

Sing: As a child of God, I recieve special light:
        The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

To help the children understand the melody of the chorus have them pitch lead with their bodies.

The chorus is the same for all three versus.  On the third verse I will insert a rit. at measure 11  "The Holy Ghost....  Hold (Know what is right) for 3 counts each.

As A Child Of God - Verse 1

I want the children to remember the meaning of the words they sing in this song. I hope that this lesson will help paint a picture in their minds.

Sing:  I came to earth with power to choose

Show the picture Adam and Eve 62461 http://lds.org/gospellibrary/artbook/images/ArtBook__004_004__AdamAndEveKneelingAtAnAlter_Sm___.jpg

Ask the children  who is in the picture? 

Who will share the story of Adam and Eve?

When Adam partake of the forbidden fruit he gained a knowlege of good and evil. 

Because Adam and Eve made that choice, when we are born we have the power to choose.

Sing: I came to earth with power to choose

Recite the 2nd Article of Faith.

We are given the power to choose for ourselves,

we will make our own choices good or bad

and  have consequences good or bad. 

Sing: I came to earth with power to choose

Scripture: Joshua 24:15

Sing: I came to earth with power to choose

         Good choices bless me and my family too!

What is a family?

How can our choices bless our family members?

"Snowball" choices

write one choice on each square of paper. 

hand one square of paper to each child

Ask if they know how to throw a snowball?

have them crumple up the square of paper into a "snowball" and throw it at you.

You now have a lot of "snowballs" to choose from.

Choose one "snowball" and read the choice.  How can making a good choice bless their family?

Sing: Good choices bless me and my family too!

Choose another "snowball" and read the choice.  How can making a good choice bless their family?

Sing: Good choices bless me and my family too!

Choose another "snowball" and read the choice.  How can making a good choice bless their family?

Sing: Good choices bless me and my family too!

Choose another "snowball" and read the choice.  How can making a good choice bless their family?

Sing the whole first verse together

I came to earth with power to choose

Good choices bless me and my family too!
