Let's Make a Deal

THIS WAS USED FOR THE 1998 CSMP... Adapt the questions to the songs you are using this year.

Oh! Did we have FUN with this! I asked first if any of the kids in Sr. Primary knew about the old game show, and of course, I got nothing but blank stares!! :) Here's how we played:

I had three cans of different sizes with the numbers, 1-2-3 on them... Inside each can, I had cut up slips of paper with the following categories:

Sing a verse (with song title)
Name that tune (8 notes of a song from a list I gave the pianist)
Question (from the CSMP songs) when the question is answered, sing that verse
Prize (with either a picture of Christ or a piece of candy) MAKE ONLY A FEW OF THESE!! Trust Me!

I also started with 3 enveloeps. Depending on the size of your group, you might want to have more. Inside each envelope was one of the slips of paper.

I started with the first child (we only had 7 today, so I made sure they all had a couple of turns) and gave them the envelope. Without opening it, they could choose to either keep what was in the envelope, or to choose something in one of the cans. If they kept what was in the envelope, we would either sing, or they would keep the prize. When I ran out of envelopes, I just pulled a slip out of one of the buckets and held it in my hand. For the second round, I would offer to to trade them a new choice for their prize (if they had one). Otherwise, I just kept playing the same way.

After the time was up, I made sure each child had a prize as they left for their classes.

These are the songs I used:

1. This is My Beloved Son
2. Press Forward Saints
3. A Child's Prayer
4. Army of Helaman
5. Book of Mormon Stories

15. Search, Ponder and Pray
16. Teach Me To Walk in the Light
17. The Golden Plates
18. To Be a Pioneer
19. To Think About Jesus
20. When I am Baptized
