Sharing Time Idea from the Primary Outline
IDENTIFY THE DOCTRINE(revealing a picture): Prepare word strips with words from the sentence “Repentance is a change of mind and heart” written on each one. Use the word strips to cover a picture of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies burying their weapons. Ask a few children to remove the word strips and place them in the correct order on the board. Ask the children to read the sentence together, using actions to emphasize the words mind and heart.
ENCOURAGE UNDERSTANDING(listening to a scripture story): Tell the children that there was a group of people in the Book of Mormon who had a change of heart. Tell the following story (see Alma 24): “Ammon taught a group of Lamanites about the gospel. They had been wicked people, but they believed what Ammon taught them and had a change of heart. They wanted to join the Church, so they repented of their sins, promised they would not fight, and buried their weapons of war. They changed their name to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and became a hardworking, righteous people.”
ENCOURAGE APPLICATION (burying “swords” and singing): Give each child a piece of paper. Ask the children to draw a picture of a sword and then write a wrong choice on their swords (such as “fighting with my brother” or “telling a lie”). Ask the children to share ways they can choose the right and then “bury” their swords by crumpling their papers or throwing them away. Sing “Repentance” (CS, 98).
Sharing Time Idea from Little LDS Ideas
I thought it might be fun to play a matching game for this week’s Sharing Time. Keep on reading below for instructions & for free game printables!
Begin your Sharing Time using the ideas from the ‘Identify the Doctrine’ & the ‘Encourage Understanding sections of the Primary Outline.
After you have discussed the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies explain to the children that you will be playing ‘Will You Bury Your Sword’.
Download and print my ‘Will You Bury Your Sword’ matching cards (link below) and attach them to a poster-board, bulletin board, or chalkboard.Show the children the cards and explain that on the back of the cards are different ‘wrong choice’ phrases. The children will take turns flipping over cards to reveal the wrong choices. Once a match is found invite the child to share ways they can choose the right (right the wrong) and then “bury” their swords by crumpling their papers, throwing them away, or have them place them in a box with a hole in the top.
After all matches have been found, bear your testimony to the children. Invite them to remember the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and remind them that even though we make mistakes we can choose to ‘bury our swords’ and repent and promise to not do it again.
I am sharing my ‘Will You Bury Your Sword?’ cards with all of you.
{There are 5 pages + 1 page of blank cards.}
I hope you enjoy my matching game this week.Thanks so much for stopping by!Have a wonderful day & a great Sharing Time!

I know some of you have been waiting patiently for this printable, and I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get it done. But it’s finally finished! YAY!
I am so glad so many of you have enjoyed my previous ‘22 Weeks of General Conference’ printables. I will be sure to make one for each General Conference. :)
Here is what my printables look like for the October 2014 General Conference:
Just print out my one or both of my ’22 Weeks of Conference’ sheets, then pick a topic that you would like to study for the week. Write the topic in the appropriate week space, then read, listen or watch that conference talk for one whole week.After you have studied your chosen talk for a week pick a new topic and repeat for 22 weeks!
There are only 21 topics this time, but I did NOT include the General Women’s meeting to the list of topics, so you could include those talks as well if needed.
I hope you enjoy my 22 Weeks of General Conference. Have you used my ’22 Weeks of Conference’ printable before? How do you use it? What have you found that works for you?I would love to hear!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

I walked into church the other day and saw this door to the Bishop’s office and had to stop. It had Activity Day girls written all over it (figuratively and literally)! It’s an easy spin-off of the “Heart Attack” idea (click here for previous post) and the purpose was written right there. The girls had […]
