Go through old magazines and cut out pictures of children being helpful and kind, as well as children doing wrong things.  Take the first batch, and paste to a piece of poster board.  Make sure the edges of the pictures touch, and that the pictures are large enough to see when put on the blackboard.  When dry, cut out around each picture to make a puzzle.  Take the second batch of pictures (you only need a few) and paste them onto poster board.  Cut out the individual pictures, but make sure they don’t fit into the puzzle you just made.

Place all of the pieces into a bag or a hat.  Be sure to have tape ready to go to assemble the puzzle on the blackboard. (You can pre-tape the pieces and cover the tape with squares of wax paper to keep them from sticking them together in the bag.)

Have the children pick a piece out of the bag.  Describe for the other children what is going on in the picture.  Ask them if the picture depicts children helping others to keep their baptismal covenant and why or why not.  Have them assemble the puzzle as you talk about each situation.  Place the bad example pieces in a column to the side of the puzzle.

Handout: Glue a puzzle piece to a card with the month’s theme printed on it.

You can do the same thing as above, or…

“Example Charades”
Have children act out different ways the children can help others keep their covenants.  Instead of giving them something to act out, they need to do it on their own.  (You can make this a game of Pictionary as well…) Instead of drawing a piece of paper with an action on it, they will get a slip that reads:

• In Word
• In Conversation
• In Charity
• In Spirit
• In Faith
• In Purity

Handout: Card with this month’s scripture on it.
