Cub Scouts Nov 30, 2010

Cub Scout Play: Den Mtgs November 30 and December 7th 2010. Performance on Sunday Dec 12th As part of the Religious knot requirements we will be working on fulfilling the following requirement from Faith in God: • Write a poem, story, or short play that teaches a principle of the gospel or is about Heavenly Father's creations. Œ We will write and practice our play over the next two weeks, and then perform it during Primary Sharing Time on Sunday December 12th. Each boy will be given a part to write based on an assigned scripture reference.  Each boy will portray a prophet or apostle from the Book of Mormon based on that scripture.  In his part he will need to summarize the scripture and tell in his own words his prophecy, teaching, or experience from the imagined perspective of whichever prophet he is portraying.  It is not appropriate to directly portray the Savior.  While writing parts, they need to keep in mind the points of the theme that we'll be trying to convey. Written parts are due next week, Tuesday Dec. 7th. Each boy needs to come up with a costume as well. (pillow cases tied on heads, construction paper crowns, and bath robes are perfectly acceptable—whatever the boy imagines is an appropriate costume—and that you as parents approve as being appropriate for Primary on Sunday) Play Theme:  Jesus is the Savior of the World 1.    Heavenly Father gave His Son to be our Savior 2.    Jesus taught us how to live righteously 3.    Jesus made it possible to be saved from sin Assignments: Aaron: Prophet Nephi.  See 1 Nephi 11: 13-20; 11:24, 26-33 Andrew:  King Benjamin.  See Mosiah 3:2-11 Emmanuel:  Prophet Abinadi.  See Mosiah 15:1-9 Joseph: Prophet Samuel the Lamanite.  See Helaman 14:1-9 Kory:  The Prophet Nephi who lived at the time that Christ visited the Americas. See 3 Nephi 11:21-26, 37-39; 3Nephi chapter 12. Logan:  One of the 12 Apostles at the time that Christ visited the Americas.  See 3 Nephi chapters 13 and 14. Tips:  Before you write, identify which part of the theme your scripture passage falls into.  Keep that in mind as you write.  Then, pretend that you are the prophet, or apostle during that time.  Write your part as if you were that person teaching people during your life time. Logan and Kory who are reading about things the Savior taught in America will have to pretend they are the prophet and apostle who heard his words spoken, as it is not appropriate to directly portray the Savior.
