Activity Butterflies Are Free–Repentance Garden (Sharing Time Week 2 I can repent.)

OBJECTIVE Help children compare themselves to a butterfly that wants to be free from the weight of sin (place butterfly visual under a rock) with this Butterflies Are Free–Repentance Garden activity. By saying we are sorry and making amends, and by not repeating the mistake, we become free to spread our wings and be happy (place butterfly visual on flower). We can taste the sweet nectar of the gospel and follow Heavenly Father’s plan.

TO MAKE VISUALS Print and cut out the images shown that follow. Mount the three-part chart on a poster. Place rocks and flowers in a container. Note If playing with teams, you will need two charts (using the same set of flowers, rocks, and butterflies). To make butterfly, cut slit in butterfly back where indicated and clip a paperclip to the slit. Glue butterfly front and back together and fold wings up slightly. Butterfly can clip onto flowers and rocks.

ACTIVITY
1. Tell children, “Heavenly Father wants us to be free to “choose liberty and eternal life” (read 2 Nephi 227).
2. Talk about the objective above and show the chart as detailed.
3. Set the butterfly or butterflies free by doing the following. Have children take turns drawing a rock or flower and reading it aloud. If choosing a rock, place the butterfly on the rock. If they tell how they can repent of the wrong, they can move the butterfly from the rock onto the highest flower (keep the butterfly on the rock until the first flower is drawn). If choosing a flower, place the flowers on the bottom leaves and work up. If playing in teams, the first team to move their butterfly to the top flower wins!
