Things that are repeated to us over and over again tend to
stick with us. For instance, have family members see if they
can complete several ad slogans, like these:
Melts in your mouth, not in your
hands............................M&M's
Two all beef patties, special sauce,
lettuce........................McDonalds Big Mac
Yo Quiero...............................................................................Taco
Bell
Mmm, mmm,
good...............................................................Campbell's
Soup
Just do
it................................................................................Nike
With a name like _____....it has to be
good.....................Smuckers
Be all that you can
be...........................................................U.S.
Army
Breakfast of
champions.......................................................Wheaties
It keeps going, and going, and
going...................................Energizer
Teach that you must be careful about what goes in to your
mind. You should always be prepared to have something good
to put in to your mind in case something bad pops in. Music
is a good way to do this.
Here is a talk by
Boyd K. Packer (April 2008) that mentions how the mind is
like a stage and how to get rid of bad thoughts. He also
suggests music as a means to help. Great article to draw
from for this lesson.
Demonstrate the idea of the mind being like a stage by using
a small, simply constructed stage and finger puppets.
Visually show the family Boyd K. Packer's words by acting it
out as you share the idea. Have some puppets designated as
bad thoughts, others as pure thoughts. Show how the pure
thoughts can oust the bad ones.
