Lesson
The purpose in teaching Primary 6 Lesson 2: Jesus Christ Was Chosen to Be Our Savior is to understand the importance of choosing and acting for ourselves.
Teaching Thoughts
Instead of simply listing the consequences with the cards included in my handout packet, act out the cards. The person who guesses the action correctly then lists a consequences and gets to act out the next card.
Use these activity ideas from Life's Journey to Perfection (you can hum instead of sing).
Check out the study page and plan of salvation labels in The Red Headed Hostess class packet.
