If a youth is teaching

Hand them this

Keep this Sunday's lesson and Proverbs 31 open the whole time. Start by having someone read the opening statement and Doctrine and Covenants 25:2, then run Action Word Charades. Skip the second principle if time runs short. Close by having everyone pick one action word from Proverbs 31 to live this week, then share what the lesson means to you.

Sunday: Who can find a virtuous woman?

Before Sunday, open this Sunday's lesson (Last Sunday, Young Women) and read Proverbs 31:10–31. Pick one description of the virtuous woman that you like best. Ponder: why would the Lord call virtue more precious than rubies?

Pick one opening

Opening question

Have everyone open this Sunday's lesson. Ask someone to read the statement at the top, beginning 'I am a beloved daughter of heavenly parents.' Then have someone read Doctrine and Covenants 25:2 and 14. Ask: 'When you hear the word virtue, what comes to mind?' Let a few answer. Point out that the lesson says virtue means more than chastity. Have someone open Guide to the Scriptures, 'Virtue,' and call out other words it uses. Ask: 'If we put one of those words in place of virtue in verse 2, what does the Lord's counsel to Emma sound like?'

Action Word Charades

Materials: Chalkboard or whiteboard, Gospel Library on phones

  1. 1.This comes from the lesson's question 'Note the action words in Proverbs 31:10–31.' Have everyone open Proverbs 31:10–31. Split into two teams (with 3 youth, one person acts and everyone else guesses together).
  2. 2.Give teams 2 minutes to find as many action words as they can for the virtuous woman (for example: seeketh, worketh, riseth, stretcheth out her hand, openeth her mouth with wisdom).
  3. 3.Teams take turns sending one person up to act out a verb from their list without talking. The other team guesses the word and the verse. Write each correct verb on the board.
  4. 4.Once the board has 8–10 verbs, stop and read the list out loud together.

Bring it back: Look at all these verbs. What do they teach you about virtue being something you do and not just something you avoid?

Teach this first

A woman of virtue is strong, good, and full of action

Open this Sunday's lesson and have someone read the opening statement about being a beloved daughter of heavenly parents. Then open Proverbs 31 and have volunteers read verses 10, 25–26, and 30 out loud. The woman of virtue is not passive. Her goodness shows in her work, her kindness, her wisdom, and her fear of the Lord, and those things outlast outward beauty.

Ask the class

  • 1.Why do you think verse 30 puts fearing the Lord above favor and beauty?
  • 2.Which of her qualities do you see in women you admire? How did those women become that way?

If time remains

The Savior helps me keep my body sacred

If there's time, go back to the 'Live as a disciple of Christ' section of this Sunday's lesson and have someone read its two questions out loud. Pair this with Doctrine and Covenants 25:14 and its counsel about meekness and pride.

Ask the class

  • 1.Looking back on this month, how have you seen the Savior help you keep your body sacred, and how does that help you do His work?

Close

This week, reread Proverbs 31:10–31 in this Sunday's lesson and choose one action word from the virtuous woman. Do that action on purpose each day, and notice how the Savior helps you become who He wants you to be.

Your witness: Share a brief, sincere thought about a woman of virtue in your own life, or about how the Savior has helped you understand your worth as a child of heavenly parents.
