TO MAKE print activity in color or black and white. Cut out the images that follow and laminate. Before laminating, write the letters A-P on the back of each lamb and lion so youth can call out the letters. Randomly mount images facedown on the board with the lambs on the left and lions on the right.

PLAY THE GAME:
1. Tell the youth that before Jesus ascended into heaven, He told His apostles that He would return to our Heavenly Father until the time of His Second Coming. When He returns again, He will return to the temple and bring in the Millennium. The Millennium is the thousand-year period when Jesus will reign on the earth. This will be a time of peace when Satan will be bound. Evil will not have power. Even “the lamb shall lie down with the lion.” Place a lamb and lion on the board, and talk about the difference between these two animals: the lamb is gentle and small, and the lion is large and dangerous. But when the Millennium comes, “the lamb shall lie down with the lion,” which means there will be peace everywhere.

2. Talk about or sing the fourth verse in “The Spirit of God” (Hymns, 2), that talks about the lamb and the lion lying down together without any ire.
3. Tell youth, “Let’s play the ‘Lamb and Lion’ Millennium Match game to learn what will happen in the thousand years of peace when Jesus will reign on the earth.”
4. Divide youth into teams and have them take turns turning cards over and reading the Millennial event to make a match. Tell them, “The first part of the sentence is on a lamb, and the second part of the sentence is on a lion.”
5. Youth can come up and point to a lamb and lion to make a match, or they can call out a letter (A-P written on the back of each lamb or lion) to identify their choices (e.g., child can call out a letter from the lion side and a letter from the lamb side to make a match).
6. When a match is made, take the lamb and lion off and tape them to the side of the board away from the game.
7. Tell youth that after the Millennium, Satan will be set free for a short time, and some people will turn away from Heavenly Father. Satan will build armies. The angels and hosts of heaven will cast him out forever. Then all of the people who have ever lived on the earth will be judged and assigned to the kingdoms they have prepared for by how they have lived. The earth will be changed into the celestial kingdom (source: Gospel Principles, chapters 43, 44, 47).
