I found this cute FHE lesson
here.
Becca was kind enough to allow me to share it with you here
on FHE Planner. Hope you enjoy. I quote her as follows.
In keeping with the 2009 Primary Theme, however, I chose to
do a Treasure Hunt lesson/activity.First, I drew a map.
(Click
here to
see it.)
On the back, I had the first clue.
The lesson went something like this:"In Primary, we learned
this week that Heavenly Father gave us our bodies as gifts.
He has a body and we want to be like Him. That is why we are
here on earth, to get a body and learn to be obedient. If we
are obedient and use our bodies well, we will learn how to
be like Heavenly Father and He will give us the ULTIMATE
TREASURE."
My children are 4, almost 5, and 20 months. When I said
"ULTIMATE TREASURE," I had the 4-year old's attention for
about 20 seconds. That's when you rush the rest of the
lesson and cut out all the unnecessary words. What you say
next is ABOUT TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION."
I have a map here that leads to a treasure. If you do what
the map says and follow the clues, you will find the
treasure. I want you to find the treasure and there is
enough for everyone to enjoy it. HEAVENLY FATHER HAS A
SPECIAL TREASURE FOR YOU, TOO. What do you think that
treasure is?"
We had to do some coaxing. The treasure is eternal life and
a glorified body, living with Heavenly Father and becoming
like Him and being happy.
"Heavenly Father gave us a treasure map to help us find our
way back home to Him. What do you think that map is?"
Answer: the scriptures, the prophets, our parents
"If we follow the prophet, keep the commandments we find in
the scriptures, and obey our parents, we will find the
treasure Heavenly Father wants to give us - eternal life is
the best treasure of all!"
Then I let them go at it. I had the clues written from
Primary songs, and whatever word was missing, that's where
the next clue was. (Clues are hard for the youngest kids. It
has to be something they recognize instantly. Songs are
good. I'm sure the inspiration came from the Spirit.)
Clue 1: I looked out the ____ and what did I see? (window)
Clue 2: The Spirit will guide, and deep inside, I'll know
the ______ are true. (scriptures - as in a scripture quad in
a case)
Clue 3: The chapel _____ seem to say to me... (doors)
Clue 4: Book of ______ stories that my teacher tells to me
(Mormon - the Book of Mormon we had out)
Clue 5: For health and strength and daily _____, we praise
thy name, O Lord. ( food - fridge)Clue 6: Early to ____ and
early to rise (bed)
Clue 7: ______ dear, I love you so! Your happy, smiling
face... (Mother)
In my apron pocket, I had the "Final Clue"Final Clue: Check
under the couch cushions. They found the treasure, a bunch
of toffee popcorn with a note on the box: "You found it!"
Then I told them how happy I was that they found the
treasure and how excited I was to share it with them. I
shared my testimony that Heavenly Father is excited when we
follow his map and that he loves us and wants us to find our
way home to Him.
