Wherefore, men are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death. 2 Nephi 2:27 Heavenly Father has given me agency, the ability to choose right from wrong and to act for myself. … the right to direct my life is one of God’s greatest gifts to me.

Rat Trap
Set trap on table. Have a girl set it off with a pencil. Offer her the stubby one and the long one. The pencil shatters. Next, set trap on floor. Ask for volunteer to walk by it. When YW volunteers, have her take off her shoes and put on a blindfold. (Smart ones refuse; adventurous ones get talked out of it by everyone.)
Sink or Swim
Write things on the penny squares that are not good or cause us to sink…such as drinking alcohol, swearing, gossiping, ect. On the squares without pennies write things that will help us…such as prayer scripture study, ect. Have the children read the square and then put it in the water. The Squares containing pennies will sink, the others will float.
