Does He Know My Standards?
Build-up the Priesthood Building Blocks puzzle
Note: This is designed for Young Women. If you want a custom design for Young Men, please give us a week to get it ready.
With this puzzle youth (young women) can learn seven questions to ask themselves regarding the young men they know and date. They might ask themselves (if they are a young woman), “Do young men know I have a standard of excellence from which I will not depart?”
Once young men know your standards, they can be treated with respect. This makes it easier for youth to respect themselves and respect a man’s priesthood and expect them to honor it.
. Ahead of time cut out the word-strips and place in an envelope for each youth. Provide an 8 ½” x 11″ sheet of paper and glue.
. Tell the youth that young men who honor their priesthood want to be influenced by friends who honor and respect themselves.
. Read the puzzle two times, asking girls to listen carefully to their memory quiz. Then have them pull out the word-strips and place them in order, then glue them on paper.

SUSTAINING PRIESTHOOD BEARERS: The objective is to help youth to uphold, defend, and support deacons, teachers, and priests in their callings.
1. Plan and prepare a surprise breakfast for the young men and have young women help. Leaders can tell young men that they are needed at the church (with no reason given). Young women can kidnap young men and bring them to the designated place for breakfast. (You could also invite their leaders and perhaps the bishopric. They can alert parents that it will not take long.) Have a big fun breakfast with hash browns, pancakes, eggs, juice, and muffins the young women can prepare.
2. Prepare the thank you notes ahead of time, placing them under the young men’s plates. Express thanks for the support and leadership of the priesthood, and encourage the young men to continue to honor it and live by its principles.
3. Then have a fun game of coed volleyball or broom hockey.
