Primary Goals Activity - Brain Teaser Challenges while Brainstorming Primary Goal Ideas

 There are a lot of goal ideas/examples listed in the Primary Personal Development book. I wanted to go over those with our youth, but didn't want it to feel boring or like we were just reading together from the book. Really this idea can be adapted to any game, but this is what we are going to do - 

First, I will pass this page out - so while we are playing the game and going over ideas, the youth can maybe jot down a goal that they heard that they liked, or one that they thought of themselves. 

I will have at the front of the room/on the chalkboard. It has all the ideas listed in the book on its own paper facing down, and as we play the game the youth can come up to the board and uncover these goal ideas/examples. The youth will read out to everyone what idea they uncovered. 

I think you can use the idea of uncovering the ideas as you play a game with just about any game (maybe play a card game like spoons if that's easier for ya), but this is the game we are going to play cause I like the idea of "brain teasers while we brainstorm". Just need two dice!

There are 15 brain teaser cards, and 45 goal ideas. I will have the youth turn 3 ideas over each time they come to the board. 

Once all the brain teasers have been played and ideas turned over, I will go over the Primary Personal Development Program by sharing the scripture and components of the program. I will put these papers up on the chalkboard. 

At the end of the lesson, I'll pass out this Primary Goals page. Hopefully they were able to brainstorm a few ideas from each category, but now using this page they will pick just one and commit to work on it. I recommend laminating this page so they can change their goal as they complete them.
