PANEL POLL: After completing the activity, divide youth into three groups, each representing a panel that comments on each decision.
. Panel #1 could have a strip of paper in front of them that reads Immediate Consequences,” 
. Panel #2 has a “Future Life” sign, and
. Panel #3 has an “Eternal Consequences” sign. 
Read each choice and have the panel express their opinion about the choice.

DISCUSS MAKING CHOICES AHEAD: Read Genesis 39 and tell about Joseph who was sold into Egypt, and when he ran (verse 12) to resist the advances of Potiphar’s wife. He ran from her because he had made up his mind ahead of time what to do. We can do the same by writing choices for the future in our own journal. Discuss possible immediate, future, and eternal consequences, if Joseph hadn’t resisted temptation.

DEBTORS PRISON OR PARTNERS  PARADISE:
Ahead of time:
1. Decorate the room with prison bars. Place a sign for “Debtors Prison” on one side of the room and one for “Partners Paradise” on the other (add beautiful flowers and a pretty backdrop to this side of the room).
2. Write good and bad choices on cards and tape cards on the walls facedown, preparing one or two cards for each youth.
ACTIVITY: 
1. Have youth stand in the center of the room as you explain that we owe Heavenly Father a great deal for the blessings we have. The way we can pay Him back is by living the commandments and making right choices. If we don’t make right choices, we get deeper in debt. If we make right choices we grow more like Heavenly Father, and become a “partner in paradise.” Point to the Partners Paradise corner. Paradise is a place we are happy and feel loved.
2. Have youth take a card off the wall and take turns reading cards aloud to determine where they go, to Debtors Prison or Partners Paradise. Do this until everyone has a turn and has gone to their destination.
3. Ask youth how their own debts make them feel. Ask them, “With the decision you read, how do you feel about where you are?”
4. Give them a chance to respond. ask, “Do you feel trapped?” Do you feel free?”
5. Talk about our offerings of repentance, service, bearing testimony as ways to pay back our debts.

THOUGHT TREAT: Dual “Smile” or “Frown” Cookies or Cupcakes to remind youth to make happy choices that result in happy consequences (thinking about the DEBTORS PRISON OR PARTNERS  PARADISE activity above).
