We All Have Different Talents and Abilities

Singing and Sharing
Developing Talents

I am Serving in my Ward as the Activity Day Leader, but this as well as other post I have can certainly be used for FHE, YW, YM, and just plain for fun.  I just hope that this will help someone else to magnify your callings too.

I found a lesson in Gospel Principles Manual that was going to be perfect for us to help teach the idea about how developing our talents will serve our Heavenly Father.
We began our activity by teaching the principle of “Developing Talents” by discussing the following taken from the Gospel Principles Manual:


We all have special gifts, talents, and abilities given to us by our Heavenly Father. When we were born, we brought these gifts, talents, and abilities with us.

The prophet Moses was a great leader, but he needed Aaron, his brother, to help as a spokesman (Exodus 4:14–16). Some of us are leaders like Moses or good speakers like Aaron. Some of us can sing well or play an instrument. Others of us may be good in sports or able to work well with our hands. Other talents we might have are understanding others, patience, cheerfulness, or the ability to teach others.

We have a responsibility to develop the talents we have been given. Sometimes we think we do not have many talents or that other people have been blessed with more abilities than we possess. Sometimes we do not use our talents because we are afraid that we might fail or be criticized by others. We should not hide our talents. We should use them. Then others can see our good works and glorify our Heavenly Father (see Matthew 5:16).  


We also Talked about how we should appreciate other peoples talents, and how we can develop our own talents by learning from others.

Here was a cute Matt and Mandy Developing Talents Episode we shared in class.

When we use our talents we are promised blessings- we will have an increase in our talents, and be blessed.

I found this fun video on you tube and showed it to my group… Its about two missionaries that share their talents and the gospel.  It teaches that all our talents that we have or are developing, that we must use them to build up the kingdom of God.  To share our talents, to use our gifts to share the gospel and to bring people unto Christ.


We called the Primary Chorister to ask her if our Activities Day group could help her plan and teach a song to the Primary during singing time.  She was so willing to participate.

We chose to learn the ASL to Families can be Together Forever.



Families can be Together Forever
(I posted it the WMP and the MP4  …but it is also available for you to download from the above link- look to the right side and  you will find the link to download the ASL version- 
I really like this version best.) 



For some reason I could not view either on my iPad… so if you are still needing another version (American Sign language)- you should chose which works the best for your tablet, computer, group or family.  

Now we plan to teach it to our Senior and Junior Primary group.  It will be a lot of work but the girls seem to like a fun challenge. We will do this till they have their Primary Program later this year.


During our after school activity class time (if that’s what you want to call it) we will work on learning the sign language, make a little chart to help us remember what signs come when and then practice and practice. 

I hope you have fun with this-

Valentine’s Day Scripture Chase

So we wanted to come up with a fun way to do a scripture chase.  We found scriptures that fit with a Valentines theme… So we thought conversational hearts was super cute– the girls worked together to match up the hearts to the scriptures and find the answers.

We divided up the girls into 2 groups to race with each other   They received the scripture reference  then they had to read it out loud, run to the candy bowl, pick out the conversational heart that it best matched with, run back to the group and read the next scripture.

The first team to complete this game won a sticker- I am sure we could have found something better- but stickers are fun!

Afterwards we went into the kitchen to decorate cupcakes with hearts and candy sprinkles.

These girls are super fun!!

Here is the list of Scriptures we used- but you may have to find the scriptures that best match your hearts:
John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.—
”ONLY ME”

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.—
 “LOVE ONE”

21 And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.—
”IT’S TRUE”

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.—
”YOU ROCK”

18 Yea, blessed is this people who are willing to bear my name; for in my name shall they be called; and they are mine.—-”BE MINE”

 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.—
”TRUE ONE”

30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.—
”COME NEAR”

30 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look!  And I looked, and I beheld the heavens open again, and I saw angels descending upon the children of men; and they did minister unto them.—
”ANGEL”

7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.—
”ASK ME”

31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.—
”U R MINE”
2 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, saying: Behold I have dreamed a dream, in the which the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy brethren shall return to Jerusalem.—
”DREAM”

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being ofone accord, of one mind.—
“ONE LOVE”
