Using the graphic at the end of the lesson 26 in the old manual, show the children the circles and ask them to remember to pray for and be thankful for these things and especially the temple before snack.
Songs:
I Love to See the Temple p. 95 "Families Can Be Together Forever" p. 188
Have the children stand and sing or say the words to the first part of “I Love to See the Temple” (Children’s Songbook, p. 95), using the following actions:I love to see the temple (interlock fingers and raise the forefinger of each hand to make a spire).I’m going there someday (walk in place)To feel the Holy Spirit (put hand over heart),To listen and to pray (put hand behind ear, then fold arms).(© 1980 by Janice Kapp Perry. Used by permission.)Explain that because the temple is a sacred place, we wear white clothing when we are inside. The clothing reminds us that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to be clean and pure and to always choose what is right.
