Let’s play a game


And now it’s time for the

“Last Words” Game


I’m going to read a sentence and leave off a word

or two.

Your job is to fill in for the missing

words.


1. Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.


2. Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan.


3. Jesus was baptized to obey Heavenly Father’s commandment (teaching).


4. When Jesus was baptized, he was completely covered by water.


5. After Jesus was baptized, he and John heard the voice of Heavenly Father.


6. When we are eight years old, we can follow the example of Jesus and be baptized.


When you are eight years old,

you can be baptized.


Right now, you should be getting

ready for when you turn eight years old

and can be baptized.


When we are baptized we make covenants (promises)

with Heavenly Father.


We promise to obey his

commandments, forgive others,

and follow Jesus Christ.


In return, he accepts us into the Church and promises to guide

and help us.


When I was baptized, I . . .


Someday you can also be baptized as Jesus Christ was and

as I was.


Let’s listen to this story about Marco.


Marco’s family joined the Church when he was seven years old.

Everyone in the family was baptized except Marco.

He was not old enough yet. Marco was very disappointed that he could

not be baptized with his family, but his mother told him that soon he would be old enough to be baptized, and he should use the time while he was waiting to prepare.


How could Marco prepare to be baptized?


During the next year Marco tried hard to choose the right and do what Jesus would

want him to do. Finally Marco turned eight years old.

He dressed all in white, and his father baptized him.

As Marco’s father brought him out of the water, Marco was very glad he could be baptized by immersion, as Jesus was.

He was happy to be a member of Jesus’ church.


How is this child

following Jesus’

example?


Right now you can prepare for baptism.


Let’s discuss the 6 steps to baptism


1. Believe in and learn about Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. –Why should we learn about Jesus

Christ and Heavenly Father? –Where can we learn about them?


2. Pray to Heavenly Father. –How can praying help us be ready

for baptism?


3. Be forgiving and love others. –What happens when we forgive? –How can we show our love for

others?


4. Choose the right every day. –What are some ways we can

choose the right?


5. Read or listen to scripture stories. –How has studying the scriptures

helped you?


6. Be eight years old. –What can you do before you are

eight years old to prepare for baptism?


These pictures are to help remind you of the 6 steps that will lead you to baptism.


Let’s see if you can take the 6 steps to baptism.
