Activity Prophets Reveal–Testimony Wheel
(Sharing Time Week 2 Prophets testify of Jesus Christ.)

OBJECTIVE Children can slowly reveal pictures of Jesus inside the Prophets Reveal–Testimony Wheel as eight prophets’ words are read, testifying of Him.

TO MAKE VISUALS Print and cut out the Prophets Reveal–Testimony Wheel images that follow. Mount images on a poster board in two separate circles, with prophet images forming one circle and Jesus images forming the other, and cut out. Laminate each circle separately. Cut a slit in each where shown (see dotted line). Place the prophets wheel on top of the Jesus wheel, and attach the two wheels in the center with a metal brad. Make a double-sided photocopy of the Testimony Wheel Script that follows.

How the Wheel Turns. Before turning the prophets wheel the first time, line up the slits in the two wheels and slightly lift the section showing Malachi so that the Jesus wheel behind it will overlap the Alma section when you turn the prophets wheel to the right. Each time you turn the prophets wheel to the right, allow the Jesus wheel to cover up one prophet and reveal one scene from Jesus’ life. When you have turned the wheel completely around, the Jesus wheel will be completely on top of the prophets wheel.

ACTIVITY
1. Review Luke 170 (see poster above) and tell children, “Prophets are chosen by God to testify to others of Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation. Let’s learn of prophets who tell about His creating the world, His coming to earth, His life and miracles, and more. 
2. Have children come up one at a time and locate the next prophet on the prophet wheel and then read the corresponding section of the Testimony Wheel Script. 
3. Have the child who read the script turn the wheel to reveal an image of Jesus that corresponds to the testimony he or she just read.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all eight prophets’ testimonies have been read. 
5. For review, return the Prophets Reveal–Testimony Wheel to its original position, then allow children to volunteer to come up, turn the wheel again, and retell the stories of the prophets’ testimonies of Jesus without using the script.

TESTIMONY WHEEL SCRIPT (point out the next prophet
on the wheel and then turn to the corresponding scene)

1. THE CREATION
The prophet Alma revealed that Jesus Christ created all things on the earth. He records the story of Ammon telling King Lamoni about God and the Creation. Before Jesus came to the earth, He made the earth and everything in it. He made the sun, moon, and stars too. (Alma 1828-36)

2. THE BIRTH OF JESUS
The prophet Isaiah revealed the birth of Jesus “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given . . . and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 96). 

3. JESUS’ BAPTISM
The prophet John the Baptist revealed that Jesus was coming and that John would baptize Him. John prophesied “There cometh one mightier than I after me . . . I indeed have baptized you with water but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.” Jesus came and was baptized by John. “And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descended upon him And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Mark 17-8, 10-11)

4. MIRACLES
The prophet Moses “beheld the world upon which he was created . . . and the ends thereof, and all the children of men which are, and which were created” (Moses 18). When Jesus lived on the earth, He performed miracles among these children of men. Once, when He was teaching 5,000 people and they became hungry, Jesus turned five loaves of bread and two fish into enough food to feed 5,000 hungry people. After the people ate, there were 12 baskets of food left over. (See Matthew 1532-38; John 635.)

5. THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
The prophet Nephi revealed that Jesus suffered in the garden of Gethsemane for our sins. “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins” (2 Nephi 2526).

6. THE RESURRECTION
The prophet Thomas S. Monson revealed that “After the body of Jesus had lain in the tomb for three days, the spirit again entered, and the resurrected Redeemer walked forth clothed with an immortal body of flesh and bones” (Ensign, May 1988, p. 56).

7. THE FIRST VISION
The Prophet Joseph Smith revealed that he saw Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, who have bodies of flesh and bones and are two separate beings. He testified “I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other–This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Joseph Smith–History 117).

8. JESUS’ SECOND COMING
The prophet Malachi told of Jesus Christ coming suddenly at His Second Coming. He said, “The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 31).
