A Valentine Idea

In the October 2006 General Conference, Elder M. Russell Ballard (Ensign, November 2006, p. 19) said:

"We must always motivate through love and sincere appreciation, not by creating guilt. I like the thought 'Catch others doing something right.'"

As a February "Valentine's" activity, you may wish to encourage your students to look for ways to:

CATCH OTHERS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

Encourage students to look for these opportunities at home, at church, at school, and, in fact, everywhere!

You can do this activity with students all month, all week, or just on Valentine's Day, as you desire.

You may to give them small cards or notes (or let them make themselves during a Seminary activity day) that they can give to persons whom they "catch."

[To possibly save you some preparation time, please note that a "You Got Caught... doing something nice!" cards are available on page 61 of the Volume 2 Doctrine and Covenants Seminary Scripture Mastery Resource packet. It's ready to be copied and given to students.]

Best wishes,

Ken
